I changed things up a bit from my last Valentines card and decided to go with matching papers from the Colorbok Bright Ideas line. I really liked that the words on this were about cherishing friends and family. Little Miss C treasures both and I knew she would like these words too.
I picked up this Paper Pad quite some time ago at a shop that specializes in closeout stock. Think I paid $3.00 for the 12x12 Pad and then I promptly cut one of each pattern in four to make 6x6 stacks. I must remember to use it again as the paper weight was quite nice to work with.
The brightly flowered ribbon is very old. It was used for a scrapbook layout I made for Little Miss C when she was about a year old...6 long years ago! It has been languishing about ever since and I unearthed it when I organized my room. Luckily for me, I had a package of self adhesived felt hearts that matched the colour fairly closely.
Here is a shot of the inside...
