It Matters Because I Love You

I finally decided to make my Valentines Day cards. I get really funny about paper and things being perfect and I was trying to work out what type of paper I should use. I ended up finding a Reeves painting pad in A5 size and 300gsm, so it was perfect. The paper is lovely to work with because you can use the fineliner all over it and then wet it with a brush and it is just like watercolours. I got a few pads so I think I will do some little artworks with it as well. I made 8 cards tonight while Gareth watched a Horror Film. I didn't much feel like looking at blood. They all have lovey quotes on them and it was fun coming up with some of them, maybe there is some romance in my after all.



Okay a few things I need to remember to put in here:

Oh and lastly, Gareth decided teenagers are okay after he was buying take away food and was 5c short. Two young boys gave him the money. So sweet!
