    I love Amanda's tut, and I loved seeing your version of the cover. It looked a lot like mine lol. :) I made a heart bokeh, but I want to go to JoAnn's this weekend and pick up a snowflake paper punch! :)

    Do you think dark blue construction paper would work? I happen to have a large pack of that (thought it was a multi-color pack but no, so now I'm stuck with like 200 pieces of blue construction paper :thumbsdowns)

    My daughter read it and took heart shaped bokeh pictures of everyone in the family. I need to upload to my computer so I can post a good one. She had THE BEST time doing it!
