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!

Beautiful card, oh so manly yes, but I like it too. (It reminded me of that Irish spring commercial).
You were inspired enough huh! Every little detail is fun here! Love the recipe for the heart charm, the fabric, and the twine holding it. The cabin is beautiful, looks like the real thing. The background trees and must I go on...Quite an accomplishment little girl! I do love it soooo. TFS Patti!

Pat, I love it. The cinnamon charm is awesome. I make these with my cub scouts at Christmas time. I never would have thought to put it on a card. Thanks for the idea!!!
