I hope you are all doing well and that you enjoyed watching the Super Bowl. Yesterday afternoon, I had a children's Valentine's Day class and we had 12 children in attendance at the studio. The kids had a wonderful time creating 30 Valentine's Day Cards using the Love Bots Card Set. They behaved so well and enjoyed the time together. After spending time with so many children, it made me miss teaching. I love that Stampin' Up! has added these great children's kits and hope they will make this a permanent feature in their catalogs. I can't wait for our upcoming Easter Class in which the kids will decorate 2 dozen eggs and decorate their own basket using the Eggcellent Eggs Kit. It will be so much fun! If you are in the area and would love to have your child attend, please call me to reserve your spot. Our Easter Class is scheduled for Saturday, April 3, 2010 at 1:00 PM.
Today, I wanted to share this easy Valentine's Day Note Card I created using the Well Scripted and I {Heart} Hearts Stamp Set. It is so simple, yet so dazzling as I created this beautiful border using the Scalloped Border and Corner Punch. This is a great and easy note card to write a short message to your honey this week as we get ready for Valentine's Day. There are many sentiments to choose from and you can create one for any occasion you need. How about using the Whimsical Words Stamp Set from Sale-a-Bration? The possibilities are endless. I need to send out three cards this week, and I think I will definitely be creating a simple notecard with both of these stamp sets. This notecard can be created in 5 minutes tops and it fits pefectly into the A2 size envelope. How about placing one of these notecards in your child's lunchbox or backpack and send them off to school letting them know how much you love them? This notecard is perfect when you have no time to create a full card but want to still add the touch of a handmade card. We all know how much people love those.

Can you elaborate a bit on how you made the border for the note cards? Where did you get the punch that does that?
THANKS!

Love how you made the border around the whole card as opposed to the layered piece.
Can't wait to see your office set.

Wonderful card, love the border. The card is so versatile, I like cards like that. You could always keep the original card and change out the sentiment and heart and you have another great card! Another fantastic project from you, Monica. Have a wonderful day.
