valentine card with heartfelt

“Heartfelt” Valentine

Happy Valentine’s Day to those who are lucky enough to celebrate with their Valentine, and for those who are unable to through time, distance or location or if they’re angels in heaven,  we will remember them too. For someone who’s not really into anything too saccharine,  I veered away from the reds.  Stampin’ Up!’s “From […]

clean and simple card with Heart to Heart Bundle

Heart to Heart Bundle
