Happy Valentine’s Day

I’m getting ready for Valentine’s Day and creating cards for the grandkids. I wanted cards that resembled the little heart-shaped candies with different sayings on them. So that’s my inspiration and here’s what I came up with. The bright pinks and reds of the Astrobright Card Stock collection worked great for these cards.  I used…

Joy to the World
