Peas Be Mine

This is the second post of the day. See below for Texas Tuesday post.

I had hoped to make Valentine’s Day cards for our family and a few friends, but unfortunately, I ran out of time to make enough so I didn’t mail any this year. Oh well. However, I did make a Valentine treat for Jessica’s music teacher.  My parents took Jessica to music class yesterday morning since we didn’t get home from our trip until mid-afternoon. I apologize for the poor picture quality, but I didn’t finish the treat jar until the night before we left.

The cabinet above my refrigerator is stocked with glass jars that I started saving when I used to make candles. One of these was perfect for this treat jar. I used the cute Funny Valentine stamp set I won a few weeks back for entering the All That Scraps Weekly Wednesday Challenge and here I am entering this treat jar in ATS Weekly Wednesday Challenge #66 to make a Valentine card/project using non-traditional colors. This project also meets the requirements of Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #98 to stamp a card/project with lovin’ from the oven. I think my jelly bean filled treat jar counts, don’t you? A treat jar also meets the requirements of the current Simon Says Stamp Challenge to make anything but a card.

A Texas Tuesday Valentine

Posted on by

Welcome to Texas Tuesday. Today, I have a valentine to share with you. My inspiration comes from the beautiful weather central Texas recently experienced. My daughter and I went to the neighborhood playgound on Friday to start off the weekend of gorgeous weather (highs in the mid-70s and sunny). As we were leaving, I noticed the delicate blossoms of several rosemary plants. Bees were buzzing about them and the aroma was quite nice. Did you know that scientists report that rosemary can assist with memory and thinking because it has an antioxidant property that protects the brain? Jessica and I went back to the park yesterday and I snapped a few photos of the buzzing bees, planning on sharing one with this post. Alas, my photos weren’t quite in focus, so instead I will point you this gorgeous photo I found googling.

Texas honey bees were my inspiration. Valentines were my goal. I think it was a success. I used the sketch from the current wee Memories Challenge #41. The sentiment was printed using Word. This card meets the requirements of Creative Cowgirls Challenge #6, love is in the air.
