I saw a cute little cartoon of a hedgehog with heart quills, and for some reason that image stuck in my brain for later use… does that happen to you? Anyways, that is how this card started. Lawn Fawns hedgehog from Critters in the Woods set is so cute, but add little red hearts cut out from the Happy Trails Lawn Cuts set, and it is even more adorable! For my Valentine & Friendship card class I designed a few of the cards  to be smaller, 4.25 x 4.25.  I think the smaller size is so cute, and if you think back to when you exchanged Valentines as a kid, they were always small 🙂 And once I made one, it was SO cute, I decided to make a set of 3. Using some of the Doodle Bug 6×6 Sweetheart papers, Freckled Fawn heart washi tape and the NEW Lawn Fawn Happy Trails set and the clouds from Lawn Fawn Spring Showers Lawn Cuts set cut out in velum. I just love how these cards turned out.

    This is just adorable! I love that cute little hedgehog with the hearts – adding hearts to any creature automatically makes it adorable (although I don’t think I can say that about a snake…). The vellum clouds are so perfect against the patterned paper. All together this is a sweet card and I love, love the size too!

    So glad I found you through Jingle’s blog – I’ll be visiting you far more often now as you’re in my Feedly now. Loving your card style!!

    Thank you also for your e-mail with the encouragement to try mixed media – now that I have a four day weekend ahead of me, I’ll try to give it a whirl. Thank you again!!

    I’ve also pinned and shared your card from today – http://www.pinterest.com/pin/283234264039563655/

    Jenn, so adorable with the heart quills. Yes, I see something and that idea sticks in my head too. I’m going to be sad when this blog hop is over. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Oh, my goodness……..what a totally adorable set of cards!! I can’t get over how cute all the elements are. The little hedgie looks so sweet and innocent traipsing around completely unaware of how endearing he is with those heart quills. I love that enchanting pink paper with the clouds and hearts hanging down….and I am in raptures over your delightful vellum clouds. What a wonderful card set!!! You are amazing!!!

    What an adorable hedgehog–what a sweetie! Love how you took the photo of the card with Hershey Kisses. These were made in my hometown state and when I see them, I always think of Valentine’s Day. Super Job, Jenn!
