Paper Heart Creatures

Have fun this weekend seeing what kind of creatures you can create from hearts! Cut out a bunch of different sizes and colors and use these pictures for some inspiration :) The frog (above) and the ladybug (below) are from Ordinary Life Magic.

Make And Takes shares a butterfly and a mouse and lots more!

A whole parliament of owls was found at Mommy Coddle :)

Show everyone what you've made by
sharing it in The Crafty Crow Flickr group!

Sugar Shacks!

I love this Valentine version of a gingerbread house! We never got around to making gingerbread houses this past Christmas so I'm itching to give this a try. All the details and more pictures at Ordinary Life Magic :)

Red and Pink Valentine Cookie

Don't you just want to grab this right off the screen?! Yummy and sparkly pink and red cookie made with the same recipe as this one. I bet you could spear it with a lollipop stick and it would look like a rose. Great idea at Sassy Priscilla!
