This year I created one Valentine for my whole family. It's a mini album with two pages for each of my loves.
To house my album, I re-purposed the cardboard packaging from some Laughing Cow cheese wedges (which by the way, are really yummy). I covered the container with Fancy Pants, Vintage Valentine patterned papers and dressed up the top with a large bow made of paper strips and ribbons.
For the pages I cut various papers into circles and bound them together with a clip ring. Each of my three sweeties has an envelope on one of their pages containing a love note from me.
Supplies Papers, Buttons, Brads, Rubons, Ribbon: Fancy Pants Designs; Doilies & Bakers Twine:Martha Stewart; Mini Envelopes: unknown.
So what about you? Are you making your Valentines this year? If so, I'd love to see them. Leave me a link in the comments section here. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a sweet weekend all!

I love this idea! And I have some Laughing Cow in my fridge right now! I tagged you on my blog, because I wanted some of my crafty friends to see your blog. I also posted knitting pics too. Nothing of your caliber, but fun anyway. Happy Valentine's Day!

Cindy, this is too adorable for words!! Love it! Between this and the knitting, it looks like you're on a serious creative roll. :)
Beautiful project Cindy! I love the little white punched doilies & pink velvet ribbon trim!
