Scratch Off Cards


"February knows his fortune well,
Even in the bitterness of dawn
Breaking in the coldest hour of hell,
Revealing but the worst that must be borne.
Underneath the ice the passions sleep
Ablaze with all the beauty of their burning,
Rendering a richness that will keep
Yet warm within the cavern of his yearning."
 Nicholas Gordon

 GARDEN UPDATE
Supposed to be rainy and some snow in a few days. Poor outside plants...still recovering from the night it was NINE degrees! Seeing some beautiful little flowers popping up with the cold nights. Hubby and I have both had the flu from hell now for almost 2 weeks. I personally am on Day 4 of having no voice. :(

AWKWARD PHOTO OF THE DAY 

PHOTOBOMBING

   
GARDEN GIGGLE
Where do horses live?
In the neigh-borhood

Why did the bacon laugh?
Because the egg cracked a yolk!

Where are chicks born?
Chick-cago

What do squirrels give for Valentine's Day?
Forget-me-nuts.

Why did the pig give his girlfriend a box of candy?
It was Valenswine's Day

What did the caveman give his wife on Valentine's Day?
Ughs and kisses.

Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.

GARDEN GOODIES~SHARE OUR GARDEN CRAFT RECIPE #0125 SCRATCH OFF CARDS

Trace four hearts onto a piece of folded cardstock. Write romantic words inside each heart...such as I LOVE U, BE MINE, LET'S KISS, UR MINE, CALL ME, LOVER, etc. You can get inspirations from candy hearts. Copy the card onto plain paper to get the heart template; cut out. Cut a strip of clear contact paper long enough to make four hearts. Trace around the heart template on the paper side of the contact paper.

To make the scratch-off solution, mix 2 parts metallic acrylic paint with 1 part dishwashing liquid. Using a small, flat paintbrush, apply a thin coat of the scratch-off solution onto the front side of the contact paper and let dry for an hour. Repeat with a second coat; add a third coat if your paint looks streaky.

Cut out the hearts (following the traced outline), peel off the backing, and stick to your traced hearts on the front of your card. Attach a brand new penny to the front, with the words ARE YOU LUCKY IN LOVE? Cute as can be!
