Valentine Ideas with Paper

I've been having fun on Pinterest looking for Valentine ideas. Here are a few of my favorites!From Heather Bailey's blog.These fortune cookies are especially cute. Celeste Rockwood-Jones has a tutorial on her blog.These are made with fabric (Moda) but I am going to make them with paper!

Valentine & Easter for your Home

It's fun to get some spring decor in the store!Waiting for a few more Valentine pieces to arrive.Of course there are birds......and a few more!Having fun making cards too.This paper from Kanban is so nice...it's hard to tell because it's packaged, but we love it! We have made samples so you can see it "uncovered"!

Lawn Fawn Inspirations

I love to look at blogs for ideas (when I have time!). Latisha Yoast is on the Lawn Fawn design team and always has great ideas.Love the cups as the background!The toasts are really "popping" off the card!I think this is a clever idea and she even has a tutorial on her blog.
