Ich habe diesmal keine Mühen gescheut, eine Karte zum Valentinstag zu basteln !! Das Holz war etwas hart, jetzt brauche ich aber dringend ein Pflaster … 😛
(Für diese Aufnahme sind keine Finger zu Schaden gekommen, da das Herz im Baum schon ausgeschnitten war !😉)
I spared no effort this time to make a card for Valentine's Day !! The wood was a bit hard, but now I really need a plaster …😛
(No fingers were harmed for this image, because the heart in the tree was already cut out !😉)
Smile on Saturday: COLOURFUL HEARTS
FREDDY: "Hullo everybear, fox, dog and every Mummy and Daddy. Daddy knows that whilst I may be small in size, I am big in heart" *Blushes.* "Therefore, Daddy thought I would be the best to wish everybear, fox, dog and every Mummy and Daddy a very happy Saint Valentine's Day! It seems especially apt when he gave me this wonderful Saint Valentine’s Day card to share with you all. Look! That’s me on the front!” *Proud.* “May your Saint Valentine’s Day be filled with happiness and love! As the Saint Valentine’s Day card says, I will love you now ands forever. I am sending you all lots of special Saint Valentine's snuffly foxy kisses!" *Blushes even more.*
For anyone who follows my photostream, you might be aware I am very fortunate to be surrounded by some wonderfully artistic and creative friends. This includes my very dear friend Maria who creates some truly beautiful and amazing cards from recycled paper and cardboard. From time to time she also hand colours cards. She created this Saint Valentine’s Day card for me to give this year, and I feel very honoured indeed.

Freddy Fox is made by Merrythought in England. I bought him, of all places, from a men’s accessory shop in Melbourne’s Block Arcade, called Mr. Wares. Freddy Fox is made of English Mohair with felt paws and glass bead eyes. He has so much charm and charisma that already he is winning hearts with anyone whom he meets, and he is kind and sweet, which makes him an ideal member of our family.

I'd like to take a moment to wish all my Flickr Friends and followers a very happy Saint Valentine's Day!
For anyone who follows my photostream, you might be aware I am very fortunate to be surrounded by some wonderfully artistic and creative friends. This includes my very dear friend Maria who creates some truly beautiful and amazing cards from recycled paper and cardboard. This Saint Valentine's Day card featuring hand-made flowers is a fine example of Maria's creations.
To quote Maria’s inserts that go with these cards: "Just like our loved ones, no two hearts are the same. Unique and individual, this heart was born from a desire to re-purpose paper destined for the bin."

The “Les Cyclamens” chocolate box was made in the first decade of the Twentieth Century for Demel, Vienna – a confectioner which first opened its doors in 1786. Demel still exists today at Kohlmarkt 14, 1010, Vienna. Having eaten delicious Sacher-Torte there, I can recommend a visit if you happen to be in the vicinity.

It’s A Newspaper on the Death Star
It’s been a long month this week, but now that it’s finally over, Stormtrooper Bruce is ready for a nice relaxing weekend with some much needed “Me Time.”
TK-NuB: Sorry to intrude, sir, but I’ve got Night Duty tonight, and found the Emperor’s nephew wandering the halls. He claims he needed to see you.
STB: Newbie! I’ve told you numerous times not to call me sir!
TK-Nub: Understood, but while on duty it just seems necessary.
NL: Unka Dude, Unka Dude! It’s me again. I’m bringing a nice homemade note to wish you Happy Valentine’s Day! But, where are your friends?
STB: Oh, they’re a no show! Both caught some nasty bug, and decided it was best not to come. Maybe next weekend. So, what’s your name today?
NL: Oh, today I’m Neville Longbottom. No one appreciated him until he got rid of that no good Nagini. I thought it’d be neat to be an unsung hero!
STB: OK, well… um, thanks for the Valentine’s note. It’s really nicely made!
TK-NuB: Not to be nosey, sir, but what’s that you’re reading?
NL: Oh, I know! I know! It’s a newspaper. Unka Pappy says nearly all cultures across the galaxy get their news in a great number of ways, including a newspaper. So, he prints his own Death Star Daily with all the latest news everyone needs to know!
TK-NuB: What? Why not just use our communicators? That’s nuts!
NL: Not really. Signals can be jammed, or worse. This way he can spread the news, and hide nuggets of information to those who know how to read between the lines!
TK-NuB: OK, now I’m totally lost.
STB: Oh, not to worry. Hey look, here’s a nugget – New line cook needed at the Mess Hall. In other words, expect long lines, and… do not eat the “New Dish of the Day.” Need I say more?
TK-NuB: That’s total nonsense! Wait… the 'new' dish - no way!
NL: Hey, I know Mr. Security Guard, why not get your own newspaper. Then you and Unka Dude can trade nuggets!
TK-NuB: This must be a nightmare. I need to wake up. Now!
STB: Welcome to my world. Never a dull moment, eh?
NL: Ooh, a nanner! Can I have it?

Just because.....
I sincerely hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day.
(I'm still singing, "Someday my prince will come"). I do believe in fairy-tales.
Couldn't resist capturing these 2 little stuffed toys sitting on a bed to use as a Happy Valentine's Card to all my Flickr Friends. I hope you will have a wonderful and happy, loving day.!
NB: These little bears were sitting on my brother's bed for decoration. It will always remind me of him; he has Alzheimers, is almost 92 and in an East End Hospital in Montreal. We try to visit him as often as we can.
Spring is around the corner but. as the duck knows, it's still rainy season in our neck of the woods.
I planted up the primulas in a yellow pot I had on hand.
The oh-so-marvellous-homemade card arrived today from a friend. She and I met when Margaret was teaching grade one in Squamish back in the 70s.
One little pig is wearing a mask. Perhaps the other one is an anti-vaxxer. (Closeup in comments)
Thank you Margaret. You are so clever.
With Valentine's Day just around the corner, Stormtrooper Bruce decided to put a little extra effort into Movie Night for the guys.
Stormtrooper Bruce: Dudes, you're going to love all the goodies I baked for tonight. Plus, there's a cooler of cherry colas, and I even ordered a Special Valentine Pizza from the P! Creepy pink box but still fun!
TK-432: I'm sure it's all good, especially these powdered donuts. You know I love these, right? Oh, here's your card.
TK-1110: Oh, and here's your card, too. Your fruit cobbler looks to die for. Let's dig in to those pizza's so we can get to the desserts!
STB: Wait a minute! What the... Dudes! Are those the cards I gave you a couple of years ago?
TK-432: Well, yeah. You heard the P in his little pep rally the other day. He says we all have to recycle now, everything we possibly can. So we're doing our part.
STB: But... I don't think he meant Valentine's Day cards.
TK-1110: Pretty sure he did. He's the Sith Lord of Recycling, you know. Take a close look at those pizza boxes.
STB:
TK-1110: Umm... eww!. On second thought, whatcha say we just eat dessert tonight?
TK-432: Hey, whatcha say we recycle these pizza's and cards and leave them outside Vader's door? All secret like. But not these donuts! They're claimed!

This candle light is just one candle singled out of a row of five, placed before a mirror; the two flames in the background are mirrored flames from two other candles.
These same candles have been quite inspirational:

Here is another that I made for the children's card series that was commissioned by Flattenme. There is also a boy version of this card.
They will soon be launching this card series on their new revamped website (soon to be launched). This card, like the book illustrations that I did for them, are made in such a way that they can be personalized by inserting children's faces into the image for customers who order the cards or books.
If you want to read more details about what went into making it, you can read my blog: galefraney.wordpress.com/2008/11/11/425/ I've mentioned a few Photoshop tips and you will find other tips there :-)
(I do not make any commission nor profit from the sales of these cards).
I'd like to wish all my Flickr friends and followers a very happy Saint Valentine's Day. May you spend at least some of the day with those you love. It's not about chocolates, flowers or cards, but about the connection of hearts, minds and spirits.
Valentine's Day cards are often sent anonymously, giving the recipient the excitement of wondering who the sender may be. The tradition of sending cards or postcards to loved ones on Valentine's Day goes back hundreds of years and the very first cards were handmade and designed with a special valentine in mind.
This Valentine's Day postcard by an anonymous artist features Jack and the Beanstalk. With a cherubic face, blue eyes and a halo of golden hair, Jack is the epitome of Victorian and pre-war Edwardian childhood innocence.
Dressed smartly in a Tudor inspired outfit, he scales the beanstalk.
The card reads:
"Jack climbed the stalk,
But not for gold,
As stated in the rhyme of old,
'Twas for your heart,
More precious far,
Than gold or even jewels are."
Printed in Bavaria, for Ernest Nister of London and E.P. Dutton and Co. of New York, this card pre-dates the Great War. Prior to the First World War, it was common for British firms to have cards printed in Germany, Austria and Bavaria because their printing presses produced far better quality illustrations. This Valentine's Day card is number 3130 and features a small amount of gilding.
Although as stated earlier, Valentine's Day cards are usually anonymous, this card was given to Theodore from his Aunt Claire.
A fading memory of 2003, found again in a pile.
She wrote:
"Love will keep us together
And the tide will draw you close to me"
To the love of my lifetime,
Happy Valentines Day
I love you
Mx
Life's funny that way.
This was my first idea for last week's Toy Sunday theme. But I found out the hard way that Necco Conversation Hearts don't exist in the UK. These arrived in the post today from eBay.

Made a card for my wife this morning, inspired by the writing of Haruki Murakami in Norwegian Wood.
“I really like you, Midori. A lot.”
“How much is a lot?”
“Like a spring bear,” I said.
“A spring bear?” Midori looked up again. “What’s that all about? A spring bear.”
“You’re walking through a field all by yourself one day in spring, and this sweet little bear cub with velvet fur and shiny little eyes comes walking along. And he says to you, “Hi, there, little lady. Want to tumble with me?’ So you and the bear cub spend the whole day in each other’s arms, tumbling down this clover-covered hill. Nice, huh?”
“Yeah. Really nice.”
“That’s how much I like you.”
this little fella had a perfect heart shaped bib - so i thought he’d make a fab valentines icon!
happy valentines everyone, luv m xxx

Day 45 2015 (Valentines Day)
we called into a greeting card shop at Colwyn bay today for a couple of mothers day cards and i spotted this.
I cant think of many girls i have ever known who would appreciate reciveing this!
I was both honoured and delighted that Dorset Wildlife Trust chose my photo of 'Sparky' to feature on their 2011 Valentine's Day e-card and red squirrel adoption campaign! #Wildlove
The Daily Telegraph also chose the photo as their Wildlife Photo of the Week: www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthpicturegalleries/8319272/A...
My Mistress eyes
Sonnet 130
William Shakespeare
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
A melting heart digital image that I designed for all you that is romantic at heart, Love not War!! Happy Valentines Day !
To make this card I used thr "you octopi my heart" stamp set by Lawn Fawn, some Doodlebug Design papers and I used a cloudy borders die for the waves.
Jaime sent me this sweet Valentine's Day card and little box of chocolate ( now all gone :D ). Thanks so very much Jaime totally made my day you are the sweetest! Xoo
