My Teenage Valentine

I used to be able to give my eight grandkids cute little valentines, but now most of them are in grades 7 to 12. When I saw the graph patterned paper in the new Heart Happy paper pack, I knew that would be perfect for one of my grandkids, especially if I die cut the right side with the torn notebook paper die instead of just a scallop.  The Color My Heart Color Dare was great for this one, too.

.I used Carolina, Peach, Smoothie, Mint, and Gold.  This weeks sketch at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge was just right for adding a trio of hearts:




Here's a better photo of the Mint XO, hugs and kisses,  paper from the paper pack:


I die cut the edge with Thin Cuts-Decorative Borders, the hearts with the Stitched Hearts die, the arrow from Cricut Flower Market, and the sentiment from Cricut Artbooking.

Thanks for visiting! May you be blessed as you share your love with all the valentines in your life!

Verse of the Day:
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Matthew 5:43-45 KJV

This is such a perfect valentine for an older child - the entwined hearts show such great love and the notebook edge is great for a student. Your choice of colours is terrific as it's gentle and not overwhelming. Thanks for sharing such a terrific card with a couple of challenges - Atlantic Hearts for the sketch and Colour Dare for the colour combination :)

Great card! The notebook edge is the perfect touch for those lovely colors. I especially like the splash of gold by using the arrow die. Thanks for joining us at Color My Heart Color Dare #329.
