Aspiring to Creativity: theme

Today's challenge at the PTI 5th Anniversary celebration is to incorporate hearts into a design. Fits perfectly with my intended Valentine's Day project for the kiddies! Using Maile's Wine Bottle Tag die, I'm creating (very simple!) door hangars for each of their classmates.

I have a bunch of those background circle/scalloped circle combos from last year's valentines.

Perhaps I will add some Glimmer Mist on the rest of these babies... ;)

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm sending my eldest child to Kindergarten tomorrow! I'm so excited to scrapbook the occasion even though I don't have a ton of "crafting" time and scrapbooking so thoroughly intimidates me. But how can I balk when there are such ideas as these??
