Of little hearts and sweets.....
This morning, I'm stuffing my head with little syrupy sentences like Amour toujours.....Je t'aime moi non plus....
I'm trying to get into the Valentine's cards making mood and it's just not happening !
All week end I tried to get the inspiration but I just couldn't ....I thought listening to Cecilia Bartoli's Italian songbook or watching my beloved Catherine Deneuve in Indochine would give me a kick of exhilaration but it only made me melancholic and now I feel like designing Valentine's cards for lonely hearts, broken hearts, hearts on the mend....
so here is a start with vaporous flowery ribbons
lots and lots of sweets
yes...the world is definitely in need of sweets
that's it for today....I will show you more by the end of the week.....and....wishing you a sweet start of the week !

You know that parts of the film Indochine were filmed in the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion in Penang (Malaysia)? The mansion, once owned by a very rich Chinese trade man, has been turned into a delicious little hotel. Check www.cheongfatttzemansion.com Worth staying... take your Moncheri and enjoy!
Les cartes sont très jolies. Les couleurs très vivants.
How could I purchase a card for mt wife? How could it fly over the Atlantic?
Catherine Deneuve. Indochina. Catherine Deneuve. Indochina. Catherine Deneuve. Indochina.
Now, that IS a movie. I watched it four or five times in the mid 90s in Havana at the UNEAC (don't ask :-D) and I was mesmerised by Deneuve's candour and persona.
OK, now to your cards, I love the way they are taking shape. Well done and good luck.
Greetings from London.
Your V-day hearts are light and joy...no pain there.

I love looking at you blog there is always something inspirational. The materials and colors you have chosen so far are awesome.
I haven't made many cards, but thank you for giving the idea to do that for Valentine. I have all the materials at hand, because I am a scrapbooker.
Thanks so much for your comment. I like your blog and I follow it for some time now. I love Spain. I visited once in 2000. My best friend from school and university from Egypt lives in Murcia.
It will be my honor if you follow my blog.
As for the card I thought that it would be nice to give my wife a card from one of the beautiful places in the world and hand made by an elegant artist.
C'est presque minuit en Espagne, alors bonne nuit et à la prochaine.
I haven't gotten into the Valentine spirit in years. I should send cards this year and maybe even chocolates.
Vamos a ver. You've begun to inspiring me.
You amaze me, Lala. You are so talented, so generous.
xoxo!
BTW - I love that quote: "I hate you so much I could die". Love it.

But if you want more inspiration I suggest you listening "If I ain't got you" from Alicia Keys, she's the best!
Have fun!
BYe BYe!
Thanks for sharing..:)
Thank you so much for your kind words. Your comments are always so special with their warmth and sincerity. Next time you come by I have left a message on today's comment page...a funny little note for you.
