Little Bit of Happiness Valentine

Happy Thursday to you all!  What a beautiful day it is here in Virginia.  Sure don’t miss the heat of Arizona!  Pam, I’m ignoring your tag for the moment but thanks for thinking of me.  I have a nice short middle name!

I went out on a limb last night and just started putting things together (usually things don’t turn out very well when I do that!).  I wanted to try that adorable pocket card in the SAB catalog on page 7 to see how it went together.  It’s much smaller than I thought!  I, probably like most of you, get stuck in a rut on colors combos.  Both of the projects I’ll show today are NOT my usual color combos.

I got the Happy Heart Day set back in January and had not yet used it.  I hate it when I do that–buy a set thinking it’ll use it and then don’t!  And this one little project certainly does’t justify buying it!   This needs something else but I can’t decide what!
