National Inspire Your Heart With Art Day!

We are inspiring our hearts with heart-shaped art. On You’re so Creative we have several heart-shaped art projects – everything from teaching your little artists how to cut out their own hearts, to using heart shapes to make animals, or even some that use hearts to make trees!
