Valentine Treats

Happy Thursday, everyone! Today I have a couple Valentine treats to share with you. The first is for this week's ATS Challenge to make -- you guessed it -- Valentine Treats!

I used some Scenic Route paper to cover a little mailbox from Target. I put some Prima flowers, a Doodlebug Braddie, and a Heidi Swapp Ghost Shape heart on the mailbox flag. The image and sentiments are from the C.C. Designs set Hey Cupid!. I colored with Copics and put Star Dust Stickles on her wings. I sponged around the image and tag with SU! Regal Rose ink.

I used the MFT Chocolate Kiss digi papers to make the next little box. I printed the papers on SU! shimmery white cardstock -- so pretty IRL! I paper pieced Digital Girl and colored the rest of the image with Copics. I added three BasicGrey buttons and some SU! ribbon to the front of the box. I am really loving the MFT Digi Papers -- try them if you haven't already!!

I hope these projects give you some ideas for your own Valentine treats! I can't believe Valentine's Day is almost here! Wasn't it just Christmas?!?

I'm looking forward to regrouping a little bit today -- it's been a crazy week already! I've had two stamp releases, 5 more inches of snow Tuesday, and Chris and Caroline home sick yesterday! Yikes!!! I'm going to do a little "fun stamping" today -- I hope you'll stop back tomorrow to see what I come up with! :) Thanks so much for visiting!

Have a wonderful day!
Christina
