If you had purchase the LD Printable Valentines, here's a quick tip that will show you how to use the Crop tool to remove the "To" and "From" portion of the Valentine. You can use the resulting image to make a quick Valentine's Day card instead.

Step 1:
After you have imported the PNG image, reduce it to a more manageable size. I used the Scale tool to reduce the size to 33%.
Step 2:
Use the rectangle tool to draw a rectangle around the image, making sure to exclude the "To" and "From" portions.
Step 3:
Select both the graphic and the rectangle. Open the Align window, and click on "Align Horizontally-Align Center".
Step 4:
With both the graphic and the rectangle still selected, click on Object - Modify - Crop.
That's it!
The resulting image will be whatever that you had enclosed in the rectangle! You can use this "new" image to make a quick printable card or tag or whatever suits your fancy. :-)
Thanks Jin! Just another way to get more uses out of a graphic!
