Valentine's Day Countdown Day #5 Blog Hop

Welcome to Day #5 of our Valentine's Day Countdown!

A big shout out to Brent over at Linky Tools.  He is moving to a paid subscription as of Feb 7th (right in the middle of our hop) and allowed me to have this month for free in order to finish our hop!  Thank you so much Brent - we all appreciate your generosity and kindness! 

How many of you will be crafting this weekend?  I know I'll be using some of the fabulous ideas from the past couple of days of hopping to make some more fun Valentine's Day stuff for my family!  If you have used one of the ideas shown, leave a comment - we'd all love to hear what project inspired you and what you made! 

Speaking of inspiration - this card was TOTALLY taken from the brand new Idea Book from Close to my Heart.  When I saw this stamp set I fell in love - how absolutely cute is the little plane with a banner???  This card is shown in the Idea Book using our Mayberry papers but I wanted it to be a little more boyish and Valentine's Day so I switched the papers to Fanfare!

Materials Used:
Stamps:  Splendid Day, February Word Puzzle (retired)
Papers:  Fanfare
Other:  Kraft Borders (man, I love these), Blue Buttons, Colonial White Waxy Flax, Cranberry embossing powder, arrow brad (retired)



This linky list is now closed.
