Hi all, here this evening with a birthday card for my lovely niece who turned 16 yesterday. Hard to believe, it feels no time since she was a wee tot! I had to do a last minute addition of the heart border as I cut my base panel of pink totally wonky and could not get it straightened, and that kinda threw my placement of the silver 16 so it looks more squished than I had planned! She a Valentine's Day baby, so there's always a heart or two on her card. Stamp from Lili of the Valley, coloured with polychromos.
And this is Greg's Valentine using a real oldie Whipper Snapper stamp. I had gone on the hunt through my stash for a pack of red card and came across a pack of kraft card that I had absolutely no recollection of buying! The love die is from Penny Black.
As you like it - cute or elegant - I'd say 90% of my stamps are cute so an easy choice for me!

We've had nothing but rain all year so when a sunny day coincided with a day off work, we treated ourselves to a wee trip to the beach and fish'n'chips by the sea. It was absolutely Baltic though, and snow on the Antrim Hills on the way up, definitely not a day for a paddle! It must have been a very rough high tide as the beach was covered in sandy foam (and not a sinner on it but ourselves!)

Love your cards. Good save with the heart border. I loved seeing the photo of you and Molly on the beach. It looks a bit blustery, but fun just the same. At least Molly seems to be having a great time!
An ideal image and card for a teenager and perfect for our theme at We `Love Stamping challenge, thanks so much for joining us.
You walk on the beach looked bracing!

Love both cards, the first is perfect for a sweet sixteen, (I wouldn't have noticed the squished number), the second is adorable too. Good for you getting on the beach! I sat in the garden in a rare bit of sunshine, until I went numb 😂🥶xxx
Both cards a re so cute, Lynne! Love the angled die cut "love" on your Valentine card. It's such a fun way to add visual attention. So glad you shared your creation with us at Addicted to Stamps & More! Cathy ATS&M DT
Lynne, your sweet 16 birthday card is precious. It really captures the essence of that age. Your niece will love it for sure. Your bunny Valentine is adorable too. And I love seeing a picture of you and your dog at the beach. It’s so nice to have such a personal touch like that on a blog. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We have a new challenge starting today and would love to have you join us again!

Hi Lynne, love both your cards! The first one is perfect for a teen - and who doesn't love LoTV - and the second so sweet! I have that die as well and never thought of using Kraft for the word. I'm inspired! Thanks for joining in with us at Crafty Calendar challenge this month, Sarah - DT
