PML Art Card...Smile

I think my son is going to love this card when he receives it! I am tucking a Panera gift card inside! I have made these cute & handy cards since I first discovered them on the SplitcoastStampers blog back in 2008. Decided it was time to revive this cute card again. I used the "Smile" card from our "Chalk It Up" Picture My Life cards. Once again I will say, the artwork is so wonderful with all EIGHT Picture My Life sets.
