Hi everyone! This week’s theme for the Design Team Saturday Blog Hop is “Valentines”! I (Connie) LOVE the Painted with Love Designer Specialty Paper in the Occasions Catalog…almost every piece has metallic GOLD in it! Makes it SO rich looking and perfect for Valentines!

Just a reminder that our collection “Picture Perfect Birthday” class is still available as a PDF! You can download it immediately! Details can be found here!

Let’s see what the Design Team did this week with the Valentines blog hop challenge!

I was only able to see two projects, Mary’s and the one right after hers, because the links on the “next” button is wrong. Thought you’d like to know! Love what I’ve seen so far!
