Be Mine

Happy Valentine’s Day! It is quite possible that in celebration of this wonderful day, I have already consumed way too much chocolate (and it’s only 1 p.m.!) and am way too excited about going to a silly movie (Step Up 2) tonight.

About a month ago I found out about a Paper Valentine Swap Magnolia Grace was putting together. I like to be crafty – let me back up and preface this by saying that I don’t think I am crafty. I just like to do creative things, which sometimes translates into more crafty things – making cards, wrapping presents in a fun way, etc. I scrapbooked in high school, but haven’t done that since study abroad in London. But I thought this swap looked like fun. I wanted to get valentines and making them would be fun. And buy fun, read: I got to go to Kate’s Paperie and Lee’s Art Shop and buy fun supplies.

Well during the Super Bowl (yes, I get the irony) I made my valentines. You may remember my inability to cut hearts. My favorites are the ribbon heart and the “mwah.”

Conversation Hearts "Kristanized"


Pink Ribbon Heart


Broken Heart Mended with Stickers


Mwah

And here are two adorable valentines I received from other amazingly talented and creative swappers. A library card! Too cute. You can see pictures of some of the other valentines from the swap here.



Happy Valentine’s Day!
