Valentine's Day

So, I have never been really in to Valentine's day, but my Ladies Bible Study group celebrates by exchanging Valentine's.  I first thought to go out and buy the simple ones that my kids had when they were in school, but....my creative brain started working.  Well, I had some help from Pinterest.  Even though I didn't do a complete craft from a Pinterest idea, I did get partial ideas and came up with my own design.  First, you have to have a bag or sack to collect all of your Valentine's.  I just took a plain bag and used my Sure Cuts A Lot (SCAL) to cut designs to decorate it.  Here is a pictures of the front and back.


Then I came up with my Valentine for  everyone.  I saw on Pinterest the Avery stickers that would go thru the printer and fit the bottom of a Hershey Kiss.  So I came up with about 6 different sayings and started sticking.  I had some help from Angela to keep me straight so everything came out even.  Angela is Rebecca's room mate from college that is living with us for a little while.  Gotta give credit where credit is due :-)  Rebecca had some bags I could use and made the topper by running the paper thru my embosser with a heart design.  I topped it off with a simple heart punch.  How cute are these!




Our group plans to send Valentine's Day card to shut-ins and others.  So, I made a few simple cards that we can send.  Simple design, but they will love to get one in the mail.


.HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
