		<title>Happy Valentine&#8217;s Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have the pleasure to be this weeks hostess of the Timeless Tuesday challenge. Since today is Valentine&#8217;s Day I thought I challenge you to make a card for someone you love (Husband, Girlfriend, Mother, Child, Grandparent&#8230;.) and add at least a splash of red to it. For my sample I started by stamping the <a href='http://beate.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/2012/02/14/happy-valentines-day-4/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>Valentine&#8217;s Day Candy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am sorry I have been quiet over the weekend. We were painting Lucas room and closet on Saturday. That completely wiped me out and I treated myself to a day in bed. I read an entire book series (very fun and easy fare:  A Modern Witch series). Now I am working my SCS work <a href='http://beate.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/2012/02/13/valentines-day-candy/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
