Good Morning! I hope everyone had a great day yesterday. Due to technical difficulties, this post didn’t make it to the blog yesterday in case you missed the Facebook page.

Check out these adorable Valentine’s day cards Design Team Member Sarah Hodgkinson made with her daughter this weekend using only one sheet of Snowflake white (Core Essentials) and one sheet of Poinsettia Posies (Jenni Bowlin Core Impressions) for 36 of them!!! She also added some kraft cardstock from Jillibean Soup and used some Fiskars punches (hearts).
