Tuesday Morning Sketches #642

 Hello!  Thanks so much for your visit.  The latest revisited sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches - this week was Patti's pick.  Just wait til you see the card she made with this sketch!  It's lovely!

Okay so my card this week.... Uh--hem.  Yes, it's a Valentine's card and if you know me, you know I don't do Valentine's cards.  But I have a good reason - actually 14 good reasons.  First the card....

My card features dies from the Valentine Embellishments die set by Lori Whitlock from i-Crafter and a lovely digital paper pack I got from Etsy on sale for $1.80.  I printed out the paper that I really liked and then I printed out the bucket of roses on sticker paper and fussy cut them out.   I did have the corner pieces that I chopped off and so not to waste them I made this next card that I am hoping is a bit more masculine.

My 14 good reasons... they are 13 residents of the Baraboo Assisted Living Care facility in Baraboo, WI.  I saw this post on Facebook - these sweet, elderly faces just wanting to receive a Valentine.  How could I say no?  My grandma was in Assisted Living and I worked in an Assisted Living facility for awhile and I know how these people feel.  They just want to be treated with dignity and respect and shown a little love.  So I have set aside my disdain for this ridiculous holiday and I am making 13 cards for these residents and 1 for the staff. 

I do hope you'll join us at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  We'll see you over at the blog.  Leave the girls some love!!
