Apart from Christmas, Valentines Day is my favorite holiday. I love everything about it. After all who could not adore a day dedicated to LOVE. A day to tell all those you hold dear just how special they are to you. A day to do that little something apart from the daily routine to surprise your loved ones. The colors of this day are so sweet and romantic. I so enjoy designing projects at this time of year. Pink, red, white, hearts, buttons, lace, ribbon, vintage valentines from days gone by all come together into the most delightful creations. I wanted to share with you tonight two Valentine banners that I recently completed for my shop at Sweetpeas. The first one made with my nestabilities die cuts. A scalloped circle for the base coupled with a plain circle of patterned paper and white cardstock for the middle. I added letters to spell "Be Mine",a few pretty pink flowers, ribbon and some bakers twine.
This next banner is created in the other color of the day--Red! Again using my square scalloped nestabilities as a base coupled with a plain square of patterned paper in the middle, buttons, ribbon, bakers twine and a couple of hearts punched with my new Martha Stewert heart punch 
Now I have a little surprise for all of you my blog friends that I hold dear. In celebration of this my 100th post I am having a little give a way. If you would like a chance to win my love banner (and a few other little surprises) just leave me a comment on this post and I will pull the winning name on Monday. That will give you all the weekend to enter. I am so excited to send this surprise to one of you. Not only to say thank you for reading my blog and leaving me encouraging comments but for your friendship. I appreciate you!!!
