HEARTFELT CREATIONS - MARCH 28, 2012

It's Wednesday again and time for more Heartfelt Creations projects.  The two cards I made this week are created from stamps from the My Guy Collection again.  This is such a great collection and so fun to color with Copics.  When my Dad saw the HCPC 3460 - Morning on the Farm PreCut set he just loved it and said that is the card he wants for his Birthday.  Growing up on a farm it really spoke to him, so when his Birthday in August comes I will happily make him a card with this set!
