That's a very sweet story, Sher.  :))  As a card collector, it looks like you found a keeper!

Well kudos to the "New" boyfriend for going the extra mile Sher  ;) Like Don said, he's a keeper!

Those are very cool!

Congratulations Sher  :D
Very cute sweet sweet story.

Thanks, everyone :)

Two weeks before valentines.

Last year I published this on the wire. And I got really amazing feedbacks.

If you don't have ideas for valentine gifts yet, would you try this?  ;)

Just wanna give a little bump for people who might never heard about this before.

Good bump phantom,
I just downloaded as well. Plan to use t11 Love Me for the rose petals, and green Erdnase 216's for the leaves

t11 has 2 Love Me decks for $10 Valentine's Special

Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

Once you get the hang of it, they're really quite easy to make.  I'd suggest practicing on an old deck you don't care about first.  Here's a dozen roses I did out of a Love Me deck, I used regular fake plant stuffs for the leaves.

-El Guapo

ISO - Vietnam vintage Bicycle Secret Weapon Aces of Spades deck.
