So what makes me MUSHY is this little love of mine any day of the year. (Two hand coloring - gotta love it!)
Taking my cue from his coloring session, I used the direct to paper technique for the background of his Valentine card. Looks a little MUSHY don't you think?
My initial thought was to illustrate this Valentine poem which leaves much to be desired with the handwriting. It looked so much better on the practice sheet - doesn't that always happen to me!
And as long as I'm being MUSHY, here's my card for HWNSNBP.
The two of them...... yep, they get me MUSHY!
Happy Valentine's Day! I'll be heading to check out the picnickers and all the MUSHY stuff they've brought this week. You can check it out here. And should you care to join in, the theme for next week is going to be a Fill In The Blank which will be revealed very soon I'm sure.
Awwww - two-handed colouring is the best!!!! Especially when it's done by such a handsome wee man. Happy Valentine's day to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteHe melts my heart Mary Anne!
DeleteI LOVE YOUR MUSHY!!! I laughed at the two handed colouring technique...I may steal that idea! ;) The poem is beautiful Lorraine, just beautiful. :) You're just like me with the mushy card to your honey. :) Happy Valentine's Day!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rain. He always picks out such nice cards for me (and pays way too much for them).
DeleteSweet to see the two that make you mushy.
ReplyDeleteYour birds are sweet and your grandson's art is wonderful. I so enjoy children's art.
Thanks Tammie Lee. I'm so happy that they are letting him experiment at his young age and finding fun in it.
DeleteLovely touching Valentine's Day post Lorraine, beautiful mushy pieces too.
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Christine.
DeleteAwww.... What a wonderfully mushy post! Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeletep.s. I think your handwriting is lovely :)
Thanks Kristin. This is okay but I can do much better.
DeleteWhat a special post. What a cute two handed artist. Lovely poem. You have some very special men to love. Thanks for sharing their pictures.
ReplyDeleteI just love the innocence of his scribbles.
DeleteOh my goodness, Lorraine ... this is a wonderful, loving post and as mushy as they get. Your two loves of your life are beautiful and your poem is sweeeeeet! So enjoyed this. Reminds me of how lucky I am to have "loves of my life" in my home :) Sometimes we take things for granted, which we really shouldn't :) Love it all ...

You are indeed lucky.
DeleteI love the mushy! I love that lighthouse card! Enjoy every minute with those two.
ReplyDeleteI cherish every one Clare.
DeleteVery sweet and mushy post. I like your card creation!
ReplyDeleteThank you Trina!
DeleteThe DTP background looks great! And I love the lighthouse card. I hear you on the lettering and practice sheets - I think that's why I like replicable techniques more than random ones like alcohol inks - at least I have some chance of getting the same look again. Maybe I'm just too conservative!
ReplyDeleteI was finding it hard to come up with a masculine stamp for Valentine's Day and then came across this - perfect. But maybe I should have stayed away from the pink. Actually, I don't think he noticed it all being color blind!
DeleteThat background is full of passion and sweet mushyness as indeed are those adorable cards, especially the seeds one which is super sweet and clever. I love them all, Lorraine..and hey, we ever get a pic of your dearest! Fabulous! Thank you so much. I really enjoyed your post for this prompt. Wonderful and clever takes.
ReplyDeleteBTW, the prompt’s details are up on the blog fyi.
Awww sweet photos and lovely Scribble Picnic illustrations. Really put a smile on my face and in my heart tonight. xo
