Valentines 2026

 Hello Crafty Friends,

I am trying so hard to use up retired pattern paper, so that I can allow myself to buy more. 

I have made so many Valentines day cards, I will never use them all up! 

As an adult- who do you send valentines to other than your husband, or grand children? 

I used some challenges to help me make these: 

The Alphabet challenge blog: S is for Square

Love those pretty papers:

Wednesdays Creative Inspirations Challenge: January anything goes.

Thanks for visiting my blog, 

I hope I was able to provide some inspiration.

Until we craft again.
