Love is in the air...

 

Happy Weekend, Friends!

Oh, and Happy Valentine's day as well!!!  Today I thought I would share some of the Valentine cards we made in our house.  The cards above are 3x3, and made with all SU products except for the Cuttlebug folder and satin ribbon.  The large heart image is from Always, such a beautiful stamp set!

Here's a close-up of one card, along with an inside view:

Next up, are the little animal cards that I made out of all of those watercolored images I shared with you the other day.  I LOVED making these!

It was so much fun to go through my sets and find so many adorable images from all different companies!  What a treat!  These are also all 3x3 cards.

I hope you all have a wonderful V-Day, surrounded by those you love the most!

Stop back tomorrow for a special Sunday post!

Big Happy V-Day {{{{{hugzzzzzzzz}}}}} to all of you!
