I was cleaning and straightening my craft room today and came across remnants of two failed Valentines that I tried to make. They were center step cards that I cut on my cricut without having checked the pressure settings. The cuts didn’t go all the way through the card stock, and it was such NICE paper, a beautiful, deep, rich red, that I had been saving because it was so pretty. So I tried to cut it with regular scissors, and I cut around the perimeter of the card just fine, but those two side cuts didn’t work out so well — jagged, uneven, not straight . . . Needless to say, I was furious and left it on my desk unfinished.
Well, today dawned clear and bright, and I was cleaning my craft room, and all the pressure was off because this Valentine’s Day is past, so I picked it up again. I got out the little paper cutter that came free with my Your Story laminator, straightened out the cuts, and put the cards together. I even used some leftover cuts I had in my stash: hearts from who-knows-where and this fancy double heart from Paper Crafting World.
Rather than thinking of these Valentines as a little late for this year, I prefer to think of them as way ahead for next year!

Gosh….One would think you are talking about me and my craft disasters. The worse thing is ruining beautiful paper like you mentioned. One time I went out to get the exact papers I wanted, chopped them all up not getting the “effect” I wanted and never being able to use the papers for anything. This is a rarity, but it has happened. Just the other day I was just finishing an image using copics and a hugh ink drop fell on the image. I had spent a 1/2 hour working on it. I did salvage but had to rethink my sketch. Like your thinking….you are already ahead for next year…haha
I have not yet cleaned my desk.It has all of Valentine’s Decor…lol Super Cute card!
Super cute card Evelyn! Thank you so much for using a file from PCW. I responded to your email. I like the idea of being WAAAYYY ahead for next year versus behind for this year
Always a much better perspective 
Take care!
