Tag You're It Challenge

Now the theme this week over at Tag You're It is "Love & Romance" as it's Valentines Day....
Me thinks I've been living with my hubby for too long now as I so do not do romantic very well at all.... I told him to stop wasting his money by buying me huge floral arrangements about 6 years ago as I thought it was a complete waste of money... heck we could both go out for a slap up meal for the amount he spent on flowers.... now we simply wish each other Happy Valentines and either go out somewhere nice for a meal of have a cosy night in with a carry out....
Suits me so much better & I feel I got value for money then. There's no worse feeling than seeing £80 of flowers wither & die a few days after the event... gosh I sound awful don't I... Sorry.

Well now that I've told you what I'm like, you'll understand when I say I don't find these tags & cards the easiest to make as my cards are normally made with my feelings put into them... this tag I had to work hard on, to try & find some romance hidden deep within...
Not quite sure I've managed to accomplish this, but hey it's done now...
If you're a true romantic at heart then this is the perfect challenge for you to join in with this week...
Happy crafting

Hiya Lorraine
I agree Valentines Day nowadays can be one big rip off especially flower wise - the prices take a massive hike and it's just all too commercialised!#
Great tag - love the big bow and the flowers - I love using those kinds too!!
thanks for joining us this week!

Have a nice day!

Hugs
Dawn

Your tag is very romantic looking. We don't do valentines either. Find it too much of a rip off these days and your lucky if the flowers do last 3 days. This year my hubby got me a new desk chair. Nothing romantic about that but I sure do love having a comfy place to sit. I only gave him a card. LOL
