Valentine for my sweetheart. This set reminds me of the place we love to go, Blue Lake up in Tahoe Nat'l. Bub's grandpa built the Rifle, Rod and Gun Club up there in the 1930's and Bubba can remember summers and deer season's spent there with his gramps, dad and brother. We still go there with our boys. It is the place we love to go the most, so I thought this was fitting for Valentine's Day.
This is a rough variation of SC214, the card is larger than A4 and I shifted the panels to fit my image best. I used left over quilt fabric to tie on the side for WT205, and the little heart is made from cinnamon. It smells so good!
To make the cinnamon charms, mix 3 cups (I know- a lot!) of cinnamon with 1/2 cup applesauce. It will be the consistency of cookie dough. Roll out, shape and make hole with a scewer and bake at 400 for about 40 mins. Smells like pie baking!
Happy Valentines Day Bubba! I will get the chapstick out! Love, Mrs. Buckle
Thanks for looking!

GORGEOUS! You know something, that is the first thing I looked at this morning. I wanted to really do a landscape design from one of my books which was called Cabin Quilts. But I chose to do a quilt card for a friend of mine that went with my son's quilt that he made my same friend. Love it. Faves.

Wow, this is fabulous. I love this card and the stamp set. I just ordered this stamp. I love the tied fabric for the ribbon with you little applesauce/cinnamon heart. That is special. Great water coloring and lay out. The Buckle Man is going to love it. How wonderful that this card will bring back so many sweet memories.
