Would you be MY Valentine?


I've posted this one before but it cracks me up so here it is again.

This next one says:
En bavardant, sans qu'on s'en doute
L'amour nait au cours de la route
Not knowing much French I went to Babelfish but it didn't like the word nait.
The closest to a translation I could come was
While chattering, without one suspecting it
the love nait with the course during the road
Any help here? Patricia? Anybody speak French?
Note:
Dixie sent an e-mail with this tranlation.
Literal:
Chatting without suspecting
Love is born along the way
Idiomatic:
The gullible gossip will be seduced
Oh no!! LOL!! Not exactly suitable for a valentine. I'm giggling because my ignorance could really lead me into trouble! It's still a good image for some other project like advice to teenagers.

Pop Up Valentine patterns

From Marivi Garrido in Spain.
"These patterns can be used Royalty free but only for private use. Commercial use is not allowed"
Marivi is a very talented and generous paper engineer and is the first artist I found when I wanted to learn about pop up cards. On her home page scroll down to "Cards with Patterns" There are 3 pages of them and the ones marked with a red * are free for personal use.
Click the following pictures for direct links to these printable valentine patterns.




Note: I wrote to Marivi to thank her for sharing her patterns. I included a link back to this post. Here is her reply:
"Hi Kathy:
You are welcome!! Thank you for writing my name at your site, there is not many people with this kind of respect for author's rights.
I live in Spain, I use to live in Argentina some years ago.
