Smitten School Valentines

This year we (I) decided we would make our valentines instead of buying the store bought characters. Always sounds like such a good idea on Jan 2nd when you see the first Valentine boxes at the stores. Well now it's Feb 7 - I guess I still have a week right????
Anyway, both valentines are 2-5-7-10 boxes. His is Tempting Turquoise, Wild Wasabi and whisper white with East Coast Prep DSP (love this paper and the color scheme!!!). We used Wild About You; real red and more mustard inks along with pumkin pie marker for the lion's mane. We used the new striped ribbon along the top and stapled it in place so all the goodies don't fall out before the big day. His box still has the flap - her's does not.
Her box is pretty in pink, pomegranate and white. Black ink along with Pretty in pink, creamy caramel and blender pen with pomegranate ink. Berry Bliss DSP in the back ground and the pomegranate satin ribbon (so sad to see that go). We stapled the ribbon around the top to secure it and keep the box closed. Oh and Happy Heart Day set is featured of course.
Good luck to all of you getting your Valentines finished! Happy Smitten Hearts to all of you :)
