Dino Valentines

I have these wonderful little people in my life, otherwise known as grandchilren.  They are the joy of my life!   I've been playing and this week created these little dinosaur cards for my three grandsons. I made two different ones using my Cricut and the Create a Critter Cartridge.

Yes, they really do say Grrr.... boys don't like that mushy stuff like "Be Mine" or something equally mushy.  They like Grrr.  Now the camera wouldn't take a decent picture of the inside sentiment or else I'm just not savvy enough to figure out how to take good pictures of a message on a red background, ( I can just hear my kiddos snickering, since they know I still haven't figured out the VCR player, even after it has gone obsolete), so here is the inside message:

Grrr..... (outside message)

means I love you

Dino speak!
