Hey, Valentine.

I haven't been into anything crafty the past few days. So, I don't have much to post.. hardly anything. But, I did make two cards yesterday... or it'd be considered "Thursday" technically.

These were taken with my iPhone, so sorry for the quality of the images. :)

My cousin, not Lindy, asked me to make her a Valentine's card for her boyfriend, who is overseas in Japan. The last one I made her, apparently was too "girly" for her boyfriend's taste, so she wanted a "masculine" one. The problem is.. I don't know how to do "manly" cards. So, it was a challenge.

This is the first one. See? Failed. lol. It's way too girly! But I love it, and am going to keep it for myself.. or to gift to the hubby. Shh...

Yeah, my Kraft cardstock isn't really that weird color. Bad lighting I tell ya! :)

So, I went through my paper stack, and picked out a few that I thought would work perfectly. I even pulled out the Cricut, but then couldn't decide what to cut.. This totally wasn't working. So, I put it aside, and then today (Friday) I finally just decided to give it a go.

This is the results:

Because of the lighting, you can't tell that the bottom of the red cardstock is another piece of Kraft cardstock with a border punch.

Isn't it lovely how both of the cards uses the same Kraft cardstock, but both picture differently? Sigh.. My camera died, and I was too lazy to charge it. Which btw, I'm selling in order to get me a new camera - Canon. :)

After, the card above was made. I went back to crocheting. I crochet my daughter a scarf, which btw, took 4 hours! I was too distracted with trying to catch up with The Secret Life of a American Teenager on Netflix. *Sigh. lol.

I then made my son a scarf too, with the brown yarn pictured below.

I'll post pictures later.

I'm thinking of making myself a scarf too. White, with pink, blue, green, and/or purple stripes. Maybe, I'll make my cousin a headband too.. if she tells me what color(s) she wants. ;)

Notice how the iPhone took this picture of the yarns nicely, but did a crappy job with my cards. :T And yay, for the green knitting needles that sits in there lonely, because I still can't figure out how to knit. lol.

Oh the green looks pretty! ;) Nice cards! I'm thinking it's lighting for the pictures... but I especially love the first card! Probably the butterflies made it less masculine :P but looooove it!
