Hi everyone and welcome to the "Love is in the Air" Blog Hop hosted by my good friend and CJToo Design Team member Ms. Amber at Staying Crafty. If you arrived from Ms. Linda's blog ....you are on the right trail. If you want to start at the beginning....start here.
Today's projects is all about showing off the adorable stamps created by Samantha of SP & Company and I am super excited that Amber asked me to play along today. The stamp set I am getting to play with for today's projects is the super adorable Candy Hearts set. I love Valentine's Day, the reds, whites, pinks and all the "stuff" that goes into it. I used to think Valentine's Day was just a day for couples but nope....not anymore....it's a special day to express to those you love just how much they mean to you. This can be anyone from your spouse, kids, friends, family, co-workers...etc. I just love it. I also love to make goodie bags for my kids classes.
I decided to make 2 totally different projects using the same stamp set. I wanted to show you how versatile you can make valentine's day projects by using different paper and embellishments. :) The first one shows a more sophisticated set you can use for a BFF, sister, mother or friend. The second project shows you some yummy bag toppers just in time to get those goodies together for classes or neighbor kids.
