Today I am creating the universal sign for I LOVE YOU!  I have taught my children this when they were young and am now teaching my grandkids!   It's important to know wherever you are - you can flip this lil sign up and know you are telling your kids many things...  you can do it...  I love you.... hang in there...

so here goes!  A Child's Year Cricut cartridge and #37 on the overlay under CARD feature.   After the hand is cut out , I bet the 2 middle fingers back as far back as the "knuckle" area.  this would then give the appearance of the Sign Language of I LOVE YOU!

a lil red nail polish courtesy of a red smooch (exact color name torn off) and then a lil bling on her thumb nail.  I Love You sentiment from Ctmh  D1345 Ms. Sweetheart.  Inked softly around hand to give a lil pop of color using parchment ink pad from ctmh.  INSIDE says.. JUST BECAUSE....

copper and silver ribbon twine from Ctmh wrapped around her finger with a lil bling bling "diamond" on top.

I hope you like my shaped card for today.  Please leave me a comment, as I love to read them!
