Beautifully donez, Blondzi!!! Excellent work the zee punchez - you may be the punch Queen this week!! Love the story about your son with regards to the hearts!! Just makes me smile!!!!Great choice and placement of coloured hearts!! Yes I embossing does count!!
Your son's saying reminds me a little of what my younger son created when he was in kindergarten . The class read the book - I love red because ........... and then they each created a page and made their own classroom book. My son wrote - I love red because my mommy is red. Now,I'm not red - he was just expressing his love!!! The teacher gave me the classes book because she thought that was so cute!!
Kidz!!! Love them, don't we!!!

Blondzi, this is so sweet - love the story on your blog too. I hope you are scrapbooking that saying as well - it is one of those really special memories. My DD and I use to quote the "Guess how much I love you book" to each other - I need to get it back out and learn it again! Thanks for sharing this beautiful card and that sweet story.
