WOYWW and Three Others ~ A Final Valentine

Whacky Wednezday WOYWW greetings!

I pulled it all together for one final Valentine befitting WOYWW and three other challenges, which makes four, which might be a record for me.  I'm posting my card challenge details* at the end. 

 

But first, you might be here to see my desk, which I've decked out in St. Val's holiday finery for you!  If you're new to What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday (WOYWW), please click over and our beloved Julia will host you through the basics and get you aquaintiated with how it works.

Here's mine:

I've heard that Valentine's Day is not celebrated to the full in the UK like it is here in the USA, but I'm sending you (and everywhere else in the world) a Valentine anyway and a desk full of goodies!  Dig in!  We have lovely cool colorful drinks (cranberry apple cider for those who prefer), some delishilish chocco toffees, and a cupcake in a jar!  Um, num nums. (More treats are behind the camera, plenty for everyone!)  Oh, and there are a few card- making supplies, too, but it's a love fest primarily.

 

Thank you for stopping along the WOYWW tour!  Let me know you were here and I'll return the flavor, gator!

Just to prove I can make a card, however, I made you one of those, too. A simple one-layer easy-to-mail Valentine:

 

 

In order to keep it one layer for LIM (link below), I masked the SU! musical background stamp with a punched-out heart and stamped it in red onto my card base.  I then drew the outline of the negative from the punched heart with a red marker and ran the card base through my Cuttlebug sheet music embossing folder.  I finished it off with a trio of red gems and a couple of corner chomps and now I send it to you through cyberspace with a big juicy mwah!!

Just in time for treats day, please make room for our newest friends!  I'm thrilled to introduce you to Squirrel of Squirrel's Nuts (honest, not making that up!) and Yuki of xiumaiyuki.  These crafters have super blogs with more wonderful ideas and inspiration for you to browse through!  Thank you ladies and welcome!

*I'm entering my card in the following challenges:

 

Less Is More (Week 106) ~ one layer card with a music theme

CASology (Week 31) ~ cue card: red

CAS-ual Fridays (CFC89) ~ love song

 

The first two are self-explanatory, the third you might wonder about.  Which love song does the sheet music image refer to?  It's the "The Art of the Fugue" by Johann Sebastian (Jo S.) Bach.  It's an unfinished work believed to have been started by Bach in 1745.  Few but the most enlightened music historians know that Jo S. began this series of fugues (and two canons) as a love song in memory of his beloved first wife Maria Barbara.  The work was interrupted in 1747 when Bach got side-tracked by the novelty of a pianoforte owned by King Frederick of Prussian.  I mean, who wouldn't?
