Valentines

Love is in the air so I felt like making valentines. 
I pulled out the simplest craft items to make these fun cards. 
(I think I sent out almost 100)
It's fun to share your heart.....
don't be afraid to let someone know you care about them.

 Glitter, glue and a hole punch.
 A little bit of brown ink makes the paper's surface look "antique"
Pinking shears and rounded corners dress up plain card stock.
A little bit of pink ink on the paper's edges looks pretty. 
Just rub the pad directly along the edge.
 I printed my messages on the computer on to labels
because no one can read my handwriting.
 Pretty colored envelopes embossed with my 
return address look extra special in the mail box.
(My sweet aunt bought me the embosser & I LOVE it!)
A few extra touches make these love notes more fun.
They can now be hung almost anywhere.

(I found that raffia
actually worked better for mailing purposes.
The twine was too thick and bumpy in the envelopes).

HAVE FUN SHOWING LOTS OF LOVE
THIS VALENTINES DAY.
