Tweet, tweet! A Valentine's Card That's "Just My Type"

I love Twitter. This is no surprise to anyone who reads my blog or knows me. I really, really LOVE Twitter. It is a source of conversation, of finding like-minded souls, a place to vent, and to express my creativity. Thank you, Biz Stone.

So what is my post today all about? It's how Twitter brought someone to me who needed a card. Someone who wanted ME to create something special for someone they love. How cool is THAT? I mean seriously, that is an honor. To be entrusted by someone else to convey their expression of love? Wow.

My Twitter friend, Mari, is a writer. She and I e-mailed a few times and we had something agreed upon, but...THEN I remembered I had "Just My Type" by Lawn Fawn and I KNEW that I had to use that set for her card. It's just so perfect. After getting her okay I went ahead with the design. I love how it turned out. (I did some paper-piecing so some of the sweet swirls of the type-writer legs, well, I cut off. Sorry.)



Pretty tweet, I mean, sweet, right? ;)

It's absolutely, outrageously, GORGEOUS here in the Bay Area (in the mid 70's!!!), so Eddy and I are going to Napa tomorrow. Yay! Who cares about the Super Bowl? Pfft. Heehee! Wishing you all a really wonderful weekend. :)
