Sweets for my Sweets...

I just {heart} Valentine's Day. Yes, it's kind of corny & sappy, but I really enjoy making extra special little treats for my sweeties. I am SO EXCITED about my projects this year!

It all started when I found these adorable little dishes at Michael's for $.99! I bought 4 of them and then found this fun Valentine brownie mix with the pink, red and white chocolate sprinkles. I was a bit surpised when the entire brownie batter mix filled the four dishes, but it came out perfectly. I ended up baking the brownies for about an hour because they were so thick ~ but I think they are a bit too done. But hey, it's chocolate, it can't be that bad ~ right? I think I'll serve it with some ice cream to soften them up a bit.

Anyway, while I had the brownies in the oven, I started making the little cards and tags. The fabulous stamp set ~ it's called Hearts & Hugs by Our Craft Lounge. For some reason I really wanted to use kraft cardstock with pink and red ~ I think the color combo turned out super cute! I used some Rockstar Red and Cotton Candy Pink Sparkly Fluff for the big hearts & I love how those turned out.

I was totally inspired on this project by my good friend Michelle Wooderson ~ she makes so many cute elements & doo-dads for her cards and tags!

The cute cup and plate (and the oh so soft heart shaped pillow) pictured are from Target. I filled the cup with heart shaped chocolates and made a tag that matched the cards. CUTE, CUTE, CUTE!!! The super cuddly pillow is for my daughter ~ shhhhhh.... don't tell her!

I can't wait to give my husband and kids these fun treats later today ~ YUM!!! Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
