A VALENTINE FOR ALL OF YOU!

EXCLAMATIONS OF JOY! Don't you just love that? I sure do! This page was inspired by my Pastor's sermon at church yesterday and by these verses found in Philippians chapter 1. Now just because this page was taking shape in my mind during the sermon...that doesn't mean I wasn't listening! ;o) Believe me, if the word's being spoken are about JOY , I'm all ears!
So this page is for you, my friends! The verse that comes before this one says..."I thank my God every time I remember you." I do thank God for each of you but I couldn't fit that on the card! lol I pray for each of you with JOY because you truly are in my heart! Originally I was going to write each of your names in the heart on the page, but the fear of forgetting anyone changed that idea! So, my dear friends, please know that you are in my heart and you are my EXCLAMATIONS OF JOY!! :o)

Awww Nance! This is beautiful! I'm really thankful for you too. Glad to know I'm not the only plotting projects in church. LOL Don't worry, I listen too. :-) I love how you used the crepe paper and pearls around the heart. It makes it so delicate. And what a beautiful heart felt sentiment. You are a true gem my friend, not to mention a wonderfully blessed artist!

Awww. Nancy, it is beautiful!! Thank you for including me in your group of friends. I appreciate you and your friendship very much.

The crepe paper ruffle with the pearls....such a lovely touch to your creation. Those Nickle Nook flowers are the best! Where ever did you get them ;-)

Love the papers you have used and those punch pieces are fantastic. I do agree with Tracy, you are a "wonderfully blessed artist". The Teen Queen sums my feelings up just right "Your beauty shines through your written words and lovely artwork".

Thank you Nancy, for being you :-)
Love you - Leslie

I am awestruck that you created this beautiful piece of art for your many friends and I am honoured to be numbered amongst those friends.
I treasure our friendship and treasure the sentiment and warm thoughts of your lovely page.

I love the crepe paper frill around the heart and you must let me in on the secret of creating that :)
In fact love everything about this page including the stamping, your lovely flowers and it is all finished off perfectly with the pearls.

Thank you dear friend :)

Love and hugs
