The Princess and the Paper Valentine Blog Hop

Hey Ya’ll, thanks for droppin’ by (or hoppin’ by actually.) 

Well you’re almost to the end.  Haven’t all the ladies and gentleman done a fantastic job?! 

I just want to say thank you Miss Jillian from The Princess and the Paper for organizing and for inviting me to join the hop and thanks to Karen for suggesting me.  Jillian is an amazing young lady (she's not even a teenager yet) and she's the first stop on our trip today.   Jillian has just designed and released her own stamp sets, so if you didn’t start with her, be sure and hop all the way around to check out her cute projects and her new stamps.  

Since this is my first blog hop to participate in I am soooo excited.   You’ve probably been there already, so you know what I'm talking about.  Anyway, I had a very hard time deciding what I wanted to show for my post.  (Didn’t you with your first hop?)    After much debate, I decided on just showing what I made for my daughter’s Valentine and a little extra card I made from the scraps. 

 The easel card box is my first one to make and is full of chocolate bars, (which more than makes up for any goofs on the box itself.)                                                                                                                                

  

By the way, can anyone tell me when they quit wrapping Hershey Bars the old fashioned way with silver foil & paper?                                                                              

The little “Be Mine” card is a suspension card which is a lot of fun to make and even more fun to open.  You wind it up & when the recipient opens it the little sentiment tag spins.   See the picture below for a look at the inside.  For some reason the close-up I took of it didn't load.  If the card looks a little worn, it IS, because it has been played with a lot over the past 2 weeks.

To thank you for dropping by today I have a little candy to giveaway.   It’s the Pink by Design Girls Just Wanna Have Fun stamp set.   You know the drill….. leave a comment below.  Tell me what you like or hope to get for Valentine's Day.   I would love for you to become a follower, but it is not required, just be sure if you are not a follower, to leave a way for me to contact you if you win.   I will pick and post the winner next Tuesday.   To my followers, remember to tell your friends to stop by & leave your name (or blog name, which ever will let me know who you are) in their comment to give you an extra entry. 

Make it a good day for someone else & that will make it a good day for you!  

Now hop along, but please come back & visit again soon.
