*********NOW CLOSED***********
Here are a couple of Valentine's Projects that I have done recently. This first one is a Jenni Bowlin Bingo Card that I altered into a little decor piece that can be displayed on a little stand. I used a vintage photo which I printed out of my Print Shop software. I also used some Making Memories Love Notes tags, a Valentine pick from Michaels, pink gingham ribbon, a K&Co. Felt Heart, a hemp cord bow and a MM Heart Pin. I added some Pink Poinsettia Shimmerz to the tags for a little Shimmer!
Next, I made a Valentine/Love photo clip holder from one of those giant clips. I purchased the clip at ACMoore for a buck! I covered it with some K&Co. glitter paper, another Valentine pick, some red gingham ribbon, a K&Co. felt heart and some more Pink Poinsettia Shimmerz to the tag.
So do you want to know what you can Win?? How about both the projects that I showed above AND a full package of Making Memories Love Notes Tags, MM Love Notes Shaped Pins, 2 each of 12x12 MM Love Notes papers (Artisan and Love Words), 1 Maya Road Sheer Heart Coaster Album, a Martha Stewart Mini-Hearts Border Punch, a 6x6 Basic Grey Bittersweet Paper Pad, a jar of Pink Poinsettia Shimmerz and I also am giving away some cute Imaginisce Twitterpated Little Critter Rub-Ons (they are soo cute!) and some Twitterpated stamps, 1 each of Foxie, Birdie and Wildflowers!
What do you have to do?? Just leave a comment on this post telling me if you make your own Valentine's Day cards and leave a link on your blog telling everyone about my Blog Candy! And if you want 2 chances, become a Follower, I mean Friend, of mine! :) I will have my son pick a winner on Tuesday February 3rd at 2 pm! Good Luck! Oh, yeah and you know me, I will probably add more items before this is done!! ;) I love giving things away!!
Have a wonderful day!!
Hugs,

Well, my husband redeemed himself TWO years later by thanking me for a paperbag album I made him so I'm "forced" to play nice again and make him something. I'm thinking about an explosion box =) And I'm already a fan ;)
I love these ideals. I do make my own Valentine's day cards for family and friends.
http://scrapbook.com/myplace/index.php?mod=blogs
Melissa , what a wonderful giveaway! Will link you up on my blog. And oh yes, I make my Valentines cards which I send to all the family and to dear friends.
Melissa, those are both beautiful Valentines! I haven't made any in a couple of years, but am feeling especially inspired to now!
And you are just way too generous with your give-aways!!
Of course I make handmade Valentine's...my 8 year old daughter has even become hooked and she makes her own cards as well...and can I just say, what a FABULOUS giveaway and projects. You are very talented!! I'll be adding you to my blogs I follow!
Thanks so much for the double chance to win!!!

I don't send very many Valentines, so I do make my own. Even if I'm really busy, I make a point to AT LEAST make my husband's card.
I've linked you up on my blog in the CandyBar, and I'm already a follower!

Hello! I make my own Valentine's Day cards! I've made a post about it in my blog: http://scrapmooooon.blogspot.com/2009/01/valentines-blog-candy-3.html. And I'm your Follower! Thanks for a chance to win!
Tanya
Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good afternoon? Just wanted to add a quick comment about your great creations! How lovely are they! I really like them, and so different to anything I ever seen in the shops! All of your crafts would be fab for Valentine's Day! Is there anyone else out there who gets a bit overwhelmed by all the soppy cards and gifts that pop up in the supermarkets just before Valentine's Day? God I do! I don't really like overly romantic Valentine's Day cards, and I resent having to spend about five pounds on a decent card! However, I have recently been introduced to a new way of sending someone a greetings card. My friend Jenny sent me an electronic greetings card whilst she was on holiday in America this year, and I thought it was such a good idea! I spent ages looking on the internet doing some research, and found a fantastic website that has a
Wide range of Valentine's Day e-Cards I am a big fan of this site and one of the best things about it is that it is totally free, so not only are you saving money on postage, but also on paper, so it is a great idea for the environment! They have a new range of Valentine's Day e-Cards with an added twist! They inject a bit of humor into Valentine's Day greetings! They have a cool application where you can upload a photo of yourself and incorporate it into the greetings! I just think it is a great way to make Valentine's Day much more light hearted! Just wanted to share my findings with you all!
Have a great Valentine's Day whatever you decide to get up to!
Lots of Hugs, Nicole.
cute blog. No, I don't make my own card...maybe I should? I was send by Scrap Out Loud, and I'm glad I came by! My address is:

I have just stumbled across your blog 4 days ago and have been a very keen "follower" since. I am in awe of your work, you are so gifted and talented. I do make my own Valentines cards, as well as every other special occasion. I have been a card maker for 16 years and have just evolved over the years. Unfortunately I don't have a blog yet, but am working on it, with my husband. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work. Your giveaway is so generous and kind.
Wow! This looks so great, it's awesome!!
Love all your work! Stop by my blog as I have awarded you a Fab Blog Award Melissa! Have a great day!

Beautiful projects! I make Valentines for my kids. (Dh gets a store one - he doesn't seem to appreciate homemade ones.) I put a link to your giveaway on my blog:
http://paperandpawprints.blogspot.com/2009/02/valentine-candy.html
I also subscribed to your Blitzfeed. I really like that service. I look at so many blogs and it's hard to keep track of them and visit them regularly otherwise.
I am a new follower too!
Very beautiful Valentine's day projects! I love red and hearts! :)
What beautiful creations!! Thanks for joining in on my blog candy too!!! I had no way of contacting you, so I am leaving a comment in hopes that you will see it. My blog isn't properly updating in your blog candy corner. Feedburner interferes and I can't fix it. In the future, when you add my blog to a blogroll, will you paste this http://feeds.feedburner.com/robinsartfulmusings
instead of my reg blog address? That will make it update properly. I will be having more blog candy very soon!!
Robin
My valentine's I'm giving to my hubby, friends, and probably one for my mom. I also am making a Valentine's day toy for my kitty cat, C.J. though I can't make it till the day before-he finds even hidden toys. :)
Cute blog candy! I love it!
post is here: http://madcapfrenzy.blogspot.com/2009/02/blog-candy-and-super-bowl.html

I'm not a follower yet, but I love your blog and it's in my bookmarks which is just as good as being a follower.
I make all my own cards so with Valentines day it's a handmade one for sure though I usually go with something more than a card. One year I made a mini envelope book and inside the envelope I wrote out little stories about the days when were weren't married yet. I still love going back and reading them all.
Oh boy Oh Boy!!! Such pretty goodies!! Your blog is beautiful...so many great ideas!! I would love to win your candy!! Cheers Colleen
Valentines Day isn't a big event in New Zealand, but I usually make a couple of cards or treats for my kids on the day. This year I am making little chocolate boxes for my sons.
I always make my own cards so why would Valentine's day be an exception? :)
Thanks for the chance to win this fabulous blog candy!
