A Valentine and A Banner...

Ever notice that on some days things are way more difficult than on other days?? I've been having one of those mornings! Started the morning by taking my 6 year old bird dog to get her some puppy prozac.  I am hoping in a few days we will all be able to sleep through the night once again with out the constant sound of licking! Came home vaccuumed and then started this card....I just could not get it to come together for the longest time. My girl comes home from Lindsborg around noon excited that they won the basketball tournament and that she played both games. Seriously...she wasnt supposed to play at all...they were saving her for the next tournament. Bad parents...didn't go cause the coach told us we should stay home. We won't be listening to her anymore, lol. 2:35 and I am finally done and posting this card. It is for the TAC from the Heart blog hop. Figured I better jump on the valentine wagon before it gets here and I haven't done one valentine's card.
The banner was done by cutting apart the sections of a large scalloped border. I used the scallp edge trimmer for all the little scallops--just cut them down to size. Dug out the old "Soft Spoken" stamp set for the words. And lookie there, I finally used some of that twine I bought.

Stamps: The Angel Company
Paper: Raspberry Fizz (PTI), Choco Chip
Ink: Snow White (PTI), Choco Chip

What an intersting story about your dog! Did it work? Has the licking stopped? And tell that coach that he better get his act together in the future--totally unaccepable on his part! oh by the way, LOVE LOVE LOVE your card. Great job and thank you for sharing with us!
