Today's video is inspired by my kid's favorite breakfast cereal....Lucky Charms! I just kept thinking "pink hearts, yellow moons, great clovers..." while I was stamping it. The shamrock is another fun use for the large heart punch you bought for Valentine's day (didn't know it was so versatile did ya?). This would not only make a great St. Patrick's Day card, it's perfect to wish someone good luck on an upcoming event.Archives for February 2010
