My 15-year-old son, Eric, wanted to make a card for his girlfriend tonight. I had a few leftover hearts from my Valentine Tree project from last week and told him he could use those. He wanted to make a card himself. In his words, "I picked out the paper, made the dots, stamped the ticket, and stuck it all together with the ATG gun." He even made an envelope using my Kreate-a-Lope, and now he thinks my stuff is "pretty legit".
