And, finally, my project for the day:
It is a Valentine's Card with a secret......
A message of love hidden in an unexpected place!  Here is how I made it:
Materials
Tombow Dual Markers in N65, N55, 606, 703 and 847
My Colors Card Stock
May Arts Ribbon
Stazon in Jet Black
Scissors
Manual Die Cut Machine

Directions
1)  Cut a large frame frame out of Mixed Media Paper using the die cut machine.
2)  Run the cut card stock through the machine with the Diamond Grid stencil and the Stamping Details Rubber Embossing Mat.  This will create the textured background.
3)  Put small pieces of the Xtreme Putty under the corners of the background stencil of the Heart Duo Stencil Set. Adhere it gently to  pink card stock.  
4)  Trace the stencil image using the enclosed pen.
5)  Gently remove the pink card stock from the stencil.
6)  Put small pieces of the Xtreme Putty under the corners of the heart shaped stencil and carefully place on the traced image, centering the sections that you would like to see.
7)  Trace the heart shape using the pen.  Carefully remove the stencil.
8)  Color the traced images with the Dual Markers and accent with the white colored pencil.
9)  Use the Glue Pen to highlight areas of the image and cover them with glitter.

10)  Center the heart stencil over the background and trace.
11)  Cut out the heart shapes from the background and the patterned image.
12)  Color a small piece of Mixed Media Paper with the colored pencils.  This will be behind the secret panel.
13)  Place the clear stamps on the clear acrylic handle, cover with the Stazon and stamp.
14)  Center the stamped image behind the open heart shape and adhere with Mono Adhesive.
15)  Tie the May Arts Ribbon around the bottom of the frame.
16)  Adhere the frame to dark pink card stock and that onto the folded white card included with the Duo Stencil Set using the Mono Adhesive.
17)  Cut down the Fastener Tabs to fit inside the heart shape.
18)  Remove the covering from the adhesive on the bottom of the tabs and place onto the secret message heart space.
19)  Remove the top covering from the adhesive tabs and place the colored heart over the top.You

You now have a Valentine's Card with a "secret message".
