look closely at 2 of the red candy hearts that say 'marry me'

Too sweet!

and

Project #2: graduation card

(I apologize for this being late. It will be added sometime May 2. The card is started but not finished. My husband had surgery last Thursday and my scheduling has been more caregiving and household stuff rather than usual crafting/computer time.)

Added at 3:38 am central time May 2!!! I just stayed up to get this done!

Glitter paint on stars needed drying time so that was part of my delay in the wee hours! :) I'll rest better with my few hours of sleep knowing that this got completed.
