Hmmmm, I wonder who it could be for? Hubby has booked a flight and will be home for the weekend on the 1st February :-) It's only for a couple of days, but the girls and I are so looking forward to seeing him, even though he's only been gone 2 weeks, we really miss him! He'll also hopefully be home in mid Feb for the weekend too.
With Valentines Day just around the corner, I decided to make this.
My card base is 6.5" by 5". The red paper is from a Tim Holtz Idea-ology stack called Seasonal.
The hearts are pieces from a Birds Cards Cut file called Heart of Hearts and can be found here. They were cut using my Silhouette Cameo.
I embossed the white layer, and the hearts, with my Cuttlebug and the Devine Swirls folder.
The little pegs I have coloured with my Spectrum Noir marker, as I wanted them red. The sentiment is by me, just typed up in Word and I am sharing it with you below :-) I inked all the edges, including those of the hearts.
For the inside of the card, I used the same paper as the front. The heart stamp is from a See D's stamp set called Springtime Swirls, I bought it back in the UK many years ago.
As I mentioned earlier, I thought I would try and share with you the sentiment. Thanks to Teresa of Tickell Expressions for the advice.
I have supplied both the JPEG and the PNG, to be honest I don't even know what the difference is LOL! Now hopefully, you should just be able to left click the sentiment, it should get larger and then you can right click on the image and save it. I know they look different sizes, but when you insert them into Word to print, they should come up the same size (they did for me). Please let me know - thanks. So there you go, these are for you :-)

So, there you have it. I hope you like the sentiment and are able to use it.
