Hello! Thank you so much for your sweet comments on my last cards! I lack confidence in my cards a lot, especially as there are so many amazing and professional Cardmakers on here! It's easy to feel a bit out of my depth!  I really wasn't sure on my last card and nearly didn't blog it! I try to remind myself of how well I do considering how severely ill I am and the conditions I work under! I don't think people realise quite how poorly I am and how much I suffer and struggle with the tinyest tasks each day so should be pretty proud with what I've achieved on here in the last 8 months! Anyway sorry for rambling on! Lol This card I've made to give my mum on Valentine's day :-) I asked her what she likes on Valentine's cards and she text back a one word answer - "owls" lol I used: Owl stamp - mag freebie Promarkers Fancy pants love story paper and sentiment Spot paper behind the owl is LOTV Hobbycraft r
