Gal Pal Valentine Love!

Hi friends! I just love Valentines Day <3 All those gorgeous reds and pinks together with words of love! We really don't go out on Valentines Day, but rather make it a fun family LOVE day. The girls love getting Valentines and a little treat and I think it's a special day to show those around you how much you care. This year I really wanted to make some Valentines for a few special ladies in my life. I'm so thankful for all my awesome friends, and this was a small way to say thanks to a few of them!
I layered some pretty papers, edged with Distress Inks, added some diecut circles stamped with these gorgeous Dina Wakely girl faces, which I coloured with my new Jane Davenport coloured pencils (love!!) and added some sequins, lace and popped up some fussy cut flowers. Ta-Da!
 Here's a look at the inside, stamped with an older CTMH stamp from my stash with a 'friend' sentiment on it. I used the awesome lips stamp from the Be Mine Pretty Cute Stamp set on the envelope - SWAK!!

Supplies:
Paper - Carta Bella, AC Maggie Holmes
Stamps - Dina Wakely, Lawn Fawn, Pretty Cute Stamps, CTMH
Embellishments - Lace, Sequins by SpiegelMom Scraps
Distress Inks, coloured pencils by Jane Davenport

Thank you so much for stopping by! I'd love to know if you're making Valentines for your gal pals?!

  4. We don't go out either - I've always done something for my boys though... 2 of them are too old for it.. but my youngest will have a special treat - and I always like to make dinner & a special desert - I do LOVE your idea of sending some love to your friends... I may have to get some cards in the mail! I think your cards are fantastic and your friends will appreciate you thinking of them! :)
