The littlest one came home the other day and emptied his backpack to show me his projects, like he does every day. Except this one day he was hurried and zipped up his pack rather quickly. I knew he was hiding something and upon questioning, he sheepishly pulled out an envelope that I thought was from a girl (because of the nice handwriting?). The outside of the envelope had a big orange heart and his name written underneath. Then he showed me the letter inside, which simply said Love You. No name, though. And his lips are sealed, he still won't tell me which friend gave it to him.
I have a few really sweet and simple Valentine's Day cards to show you, all featuring items from the Artful Delight January Card Kit. These are all for Winter's Cards from the Heart Card Drive. Artful Delight is one of the sponsors, which is another great reason to make a few cards and send them in before January 31st!
The red card stock in this kit is nice and thick, rich and vibrant., and absolutely perfect for card bases. I inked up the various bees from the Paper Smooches Stamp Set from the kit, colored them and fussy cut them. Some I added stickles to the wings, others were covered with white enamel accents.
Oh I'm smiling at your little one...Marcel is very open that he likes a little girl in his class, Ally, but "she doesn't talk to me. she said okay when I told her I liked her." Cracks me up. These valentines are oh so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love that your little one was hiding the envelope from you and as his Mother you knew it. Such a sweet age.
ReplyDeleteBoth of your cards are wonderful Karen. I love the bold, yet simple designs.
