Love is in the air!

I love Valentines Day. It's my favorite holiday. Yes... Favorite! Maybe because I know Spring is around the corner, maybe it's the pretty colors, maybe it's actually about romance and love. It just makes me happy all over.

I love this envelope from the Silhouette Store. The back flap has some personality.

This owl is also from Silhouette. Had I been thinking, the edges would have been rubbed a little.

To go with the envelope, I made this card!  This was a freebie at one point.
 I folded the harts and glued just the middle to give it a little pop. Dotted silver with Gelly Roll 'clear star'.
I like the way silver goes with almost everything!

Love seeing what people are doing with their cutting machines and you definitely put these cut files to great use. The envelope really does have a lot of character and that owl is a hoot (pun intended) but I LOOOOVE how you popped up some hearts on the card. That looks wonderful :)
Thank you so much for playing along with us at Top Tip Tuesday!

Absolutely gorgeous, the heart grid is lovely and your owl envelope would have to be recycled, far too nice to throw away :)

Many thanks for joining in with our Fresh & Clean challenge over at Daisy Doodles Creative Challenges, hope to see you again soon.
