I [heart] U! Cat

Happy Sunday,

Today I got started on my Valentine making.  I am trying to use up my old stock and goodies.  One of my goals for this year is to use as much of my paper hoard as possible.  It has really been hard to keep from buying more paper ... oh woe is me!?!???

I love the play of the soft and bright colors in the background paper.  I tried to mimic the arcs of the background paper with the doodling in the scallops of the heart.

I used the same heart cut in 1/2" and 1" cuts for the inside of the card.  I think it turned out rather cute.

Here are the details:
