Banner Blessings January 2014 Play Day Project!

Hi, Friends,
It has been a very busy time here at our house, nothing major, just lots of little things going on that keep life interesting!  One of the fun things was Play Day on Saturday, and this is one of the cards we made:


January Play Day is always the month when we do Valentine cards, and this one used the new Stacked with Love DSP stack and also the Happy Heart Embossing Folder.  It is hard to see in the picture, but I used the "debossed" image on this project.
