I got a call from my Grnadson N early in the week : "Nana, I'm mailing an envelope to you today!"
My mind went into search mode and came up with "Oh no! It's Valentines Day this week and I haven't sent the grands any cards yet!"
so, the rest of the morning was spent in my craft room making the cards you see here. First off, I did a bit of a search on the internet for Valentine Verses - well, I found a couple of' Dinosaur themed ones for the the Sask. boys' cards and a cute owl one for the baby. These are the cards that resulted:
and and then I came across these cute little creatures.
and and then I came across these cute little creatures. 
I couldn't resist, so the Seattle grands are getting these. The are made from 3 different sizes of hearts. One for the stand, the largest for the mouse and the smaller for the ears. I used eyelets for the eyes and knotted some thread whiskers. I forgot to give them noses - the pictures I saw used a tiny pom pom.I somehow lost the website where I saw this idea so I can't give credit where it is due But they sure are cute aren't they? They were fun to make.

Very cute! I should have had you make two of each, while you were at it...and then I'd come shopping at your 'house of cards'. Have a wonderful Valentine's Day weekend.
So cute!! I mailed one down to Florida - along with some smarties - apparently they don't have them in the States. Nice to get treats in the mail!
Okay, so I left a comment before and it dissapeared! Your cards are so cute and I love the idea of the mice! I will tuck that away for future reference.
