Hearts for Greg

 

I made lots of Valentines over the weekend. This one is for my son, Greg. Hopefully it will arrive at his place along with a bag of Reece's hearts by Wednesday. A wonderful crafty friend was so kind to cut a bunch of these wonderful tags for me with her PTI Tag Sale: Quilted Die that I so wish I had bought long ago. I stamped the hearts with 9 shades of red Distress Oxide Inks, die cut them and arranged them on the tag which I popped up with fun foam after adding a panel of Echo Park PP, a sentiment from Stamp Simply and a little twine. I had my Valentine for this special guy who is so dear to my heart.

 I made this Valentine for my pie-loving son using Spellbinders Pie Perfection Collection Dies. Looking at it now, I wish I had used less busy paper in the background, but he already received it and loved it, so my job is done!
