Happy Valentine's Day

It's Tuesday which means it's time to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. This week my teammates and I are showcasing products by Jane's Doodles. You might not know this, but I love penguins almost as much as I love cats. I decided to create a Valentine's Day card with the Sweater Weather Clear Stamp Set and the Snow Globe Clear Stamp Set by Jane's Doodles.

Here's my card.
