Milk and cookies

 So, all month I've been working on creating my Valentine's Day cards using a one-sheet wonder template.  You can see my other cards, here, here, and here.  These are my last two.  (I think there is supposed to be one more, but somehow I lost the last piece of patterned paper.)  

The first one is for my niece: she's 8.

I covered the little die cut hearts with glossy accents for a nice shine.  You can see it in the photo below:

The second card is for one of her brothers: he's 6

I created the background by stamping the little cookie image and the word "cookies" with red ink to create a subtle pattern.    I also added glossy accents to the heart on this one.  

I curved the main part of the sentiment for a fun touch.  Also, I didn't have to find a separate place for it that way.

Supplies:

Stamps: Sugar Pea Designs "Better Together" (unfortunately it seems to be retired)
