Want Some Valentine's Day Gift Ideas? Post-It Notes and Candy Holder

I thought today I'd show you a few cute little gifts I made for some people that work at my children's school for Valentine's Day. The tiny heart basket (candy holder) was a fun make and take we made at a crop my scrapbook buddy Dawn Heuft had. She gave us all the pieces to put this together. Super adorable!

The other 2 items are post-it notes with cute covers (post-it notes were in the Dollar Spot in Target and I made the covers). I think they all came out cute! I just wanted a little "something" to give as a way to let them know we appreciate them.

Ps. The owl stamp set I used on one of the covers is on the retired list on my website and will be gone at the end of this month...in case you want it!

The paper pack used is Heartstings (X7193B). So, which card do you like best? 

Need Thank You Card Ideas?

I thought today I'd share some cards that I made. I can never have too many "Thank You" cards. I love sending them out (to people who purchase from my website) or giving them to the teachers at my children's school. I used the paper pack Ivy Lane (just retired). I started making the card kit and decided to change them a little and make them "Thank You" cards. I think they came out cute!   

Looking For Some Cute Valentine's Day Cards? Love These Little Monsters!
