Trinity's Valentines

so this weekend my dd Jonni and my dgd Trinity made Valentines for Trinity's kindergarten class...we did red for the boys and pink for the girls...Trin has her own signature stamp that reads Princess Trinity Star...she was so excited to use it...they turned out cute...used the sweet centers heart stamp and treat cups...put conversation hearts in each one...

we made some for the family too...it was fun to stamp with them...going to have to do it more often...

have a happy valentine's day (or singles awareness day) everyone....

The minute i saw the sketch we were to use as the basis for this week's CAS Challenge this stamp set came to mind...this set is one of my favorite for the holidays...and i'm getting in that christmas card creative mood so i took it as a sign...not sure if it's the "stay off the grass" sign...or "open for business" sign yet...
