Lovely picture!

Yesterday, I created a few Valentine's Day cards. One for my hubby and three for my best friends. I send them a card as well, to tell them once more how glad I am to have them in my life.
One of my favorite technique is the bokeh technique on watercolors. Now I already know how to get the best results. That took a while. But meanwhile, I love the outcome.

My daughter is just listening to the CD of "Frozen". That's why I chose this title for the post.  I used the Lawn Fawn paper "Let's Bokeh in the Snow" again together with the snow man stamp from DEPOT and the polaroid die from Mama Elephant. For the snow flakes I have a little punch from PAGRO.

Goodbye, Opa!

After my father died two years ago, his father died two weeks ago. It is a big loss for my grandmother and her family. When I see his picture on the kitchen wall, I can't believe that he is gone.
I wrote my grandmother the following card:

I used the Martha Stewart Monarch Butterfly punch. The branch is from the Stampin'up set "In Gedanken bei dir" and I used the heat embossing technique for it. The background is the woodgrain embossing folder.
