I can't think of a font or anything that would make it better, Kath. It's just wonderful!

[kathmartin]

thanks catb....there are some really great peices of work done here....our own personal card shop.....I think I remember you saying something like that back on page 1...I could say great minds think alike......BUT....mine isn't so great anymore....My mind is like a big cluttered room and things keep going missing..

Maybe our minds are great, in their own way Actually, I'm enjoying this time in my life because I've always been ditzy, but now I can blame it on my age!!

My mind is like a big cluttered room and things keep going missing..

Well, perhaps not ALL great minds are alike, but yours and mine sure are! Nice to have you in the club!

[kathmartin]

glad to know that I'm not the only one in the club...

Wow, it's almost that time again! Thanks to Laurie and Cat for reminding us we have this thread!

[LaurieJean]

There are some nice ideas displayed here. Below is my starting image, which are snowman cannisters that I took outdoors and photographed before I packed them away. (This is actually from 2005) The snowmen sit on my window sill and always make me smile while I'm doing dishes.

Today I created a VD card. The quote is from Leanne Rhimes. This is just the front of the card, not the inside where there is a Happy Valentine's Day message.

Be Mine...Enjoy! Cheers, Linda

Laurie, I love this! I like the idea of snowmen on a valentine, since here it is winter after all. I love that song too.

Linda, I see you found our Vday thread. Great contribution to it!

[kathmartin]

I was playing around with fractals and ended up with this...was debating whether to put it here or in the fractals thread....There are a lot of really good fractals and this thread has just been revived so I decided to add here...

[Linda]

To be loved too! Hummmm???? Did I say wee one!!! ;-0

Nice one Kathy I like it what does she think of it?

Thanks Phyllis I appreciate your encouragement!

[phyllis stewart]

Kath, just goes to show that a great valentine doesn't have to be all pink or red!

Linda, I think I just had a cute attack... call 911!

Flo, this is wonderful!

Early I am but just created this AOP for the ladies out there. Click here if you have DAP and for more details. Click on the image below to see the full rez.

Really Cool and nice
My favourite is the second one , the heart stands better on a plain background .
Also , I think it would look even better if you replace the black and green by some other matching colours in the palette of red , pink , purple ...

Your idea is excellent , and your style is unique .
I had a look at their site ; you are the only one to use patterns .
Well done , Lyle !

[phyllis stewart]

Lyle, cute little candy hearts!

[lylejk]

Thanks Flo/Phyllis. I did change my AOP which replaced the black one with something a little better (uploaded at the DAP forum the change). Still not 100% happy and it does take a lot of work to convert the DAP result into something with a little more dimension. Overall, I'm still happy with it. As a side note, I can be coaxed into giving you all some bon-bons too. lol

[lylejk]

Thought I should open my safe full of dough and get the ladies something more substantial then Sweathearts.

For the curious, you can get the AOP file here: http://www.mmbforums.com/ipb/index.php? ... ntry142363

Why not another. Happy (and early) Valentine's Day to the ladies here (and a bigger surprise if you click on the image).

[fmr]

So you found the pirate's Treasure Chest ?
Well done !

A style looking like paper collage

Thanks Flo; like your hearts too. Did you do this one manually, or by what filter/program? Just curious.

Thanks , Lyle .
I was quite interested by your technique for the little hearts ;
So I DL their new demo (V2) , tried to understand how to make a custom AOP , and made my first one .
You were right , it is a long job ….
Not difficult once you have understand the process , but very very tedious …..
No need to mention I made a lot of trials and errors
