For Diane's fun sketch this week, I stuck with the hearts for the hanging shapes, because I wanted to make a valentine for my mom. I couldn't resist this sweet Sassy Cheryl image, because my mom makes the most beautiful ragdolls (check out her etsy shop - they're amazing!). She's literally made thousands of them since she started in the 70s. And she brings me her scraps of ric-rack because she knows I like to use it on my cards. So I usually try to put some of it on the cards I make for her.

The rick-rack is perfect for your dangling hearts, Jen! That raggedy ann doll really takes me back; our daughter had one and loved it! Adorable image and I like the bright coloring. The way you've done the letters in the sentiment is perfect with this image.
