I know that little boys a lot of times like trains so I decided to make a few cards using the Train Conductor digital stamp from Tiddly Inks. There were no hearts on the image but I thought a few puffs of heart shaped smoke coming from the train stack might work well. So I hand drew a few of them in. I also used a stencil to make a heart designed background with my blending brushes.
And another neglected item in my card making cupboard were decorative scissors so I used one of them to create a framed edge around the focal image. I used to use them all the time and now I seldom pull them out either. The sentiment was computer generated.
Thanks for checking in and for the lovely comments. We are getting snow again this morning. Ahhh! Wonderful Winter!
God bless,
Verna

These are so sweet! The little hearts a such a clever addition! I need to get out all those old scissors too! Great work Verna!
These are adorable, Verna! Well done!
These are so cute, Verna. I have a box of decorative scissors gathering dust. I really ought to get them out and use them! xx
Love the heart shaped smoke puffs on your card! The heart background looks great too! The boys are going to love these cards Verna!! Great Job!!
Oh, gosh, too cute! You have plenty of hearts on these cards to make them just perfect! I still have some of my decorative edge scissors that I use, too.
Great idea to add the hearts for the smoke! Also a great way to use your decorative scissors. I have some that I forget about!
What pretty cards Verna - I also don't use my 'fancy' scissors these days - dies are much easier!

I had to stop and add a comment as these cards are so sweet and creative. Cute idea, all of it. I got rid of my scissors a long time ago because I didn't use them.
This is really cute, and I love your creative ways of incorporating hearts into the image!
These are cute and will be perfect for the card drive.
I, too, have the scissors. They were some of my first purchases when I started paper crafting. I did use one pair the other day and remembered why. I made an envelope and wanted the flap to look decorative. [Bunny]
Happy New Year blessings mf.
These are so adorable and so fun. Well done too.

How cute is this! That image is adorable
The more hearts, the merrier! Another cute set of cards and way to use those decorative scissors! I gave mine away years ago!
These are just the cutest and the heart background is so very pretty. Clever use of those scissors, not sure where mine are lol, maybe I should pull them out!!
Sweet! And GREAT idea to use the trains for boys. I remember the scissors, something I don't have unless you count my pinking sheers :o)
So cute! Love the background too! The wee hand drawn hearts are the perfect finishing touch!
So cuuute and love that background! So many wonderful cards... I think what I need to do is start making cards now for next year's drive...
