Simple Valentine’s Day Cards

 

I have a fun, creative way to use up some of those extra Project Life cards!! What? You haven’t heard of Project Life? Well, you must not be from around these parts. 🙂 Go here to read to your heart’s desire. I’ll be waiting right here…

I thought so. You’re just as amazed and excited about this SIMPLE form of scrapbooking as I am!

If you have any extra scrapbooking supplies up in the closet or under the bed, you have free cards just waiting to be created!!

So, once you have these glorious core kits — 1 of 3 items you need for an entire year’s book at least than $60 — you may be like me and have a few EXTRA at the end of the year? I have extras from various kits and hate to just waste these adorable, awesome cards!

And with Valentine’s Day coming up…I had a genius idea.

I have free {and adorable} cards just begging to be used for any holiday, even Valentine’s Day! I used things that I already had {pink cards from various core kits, a few Valentine cards from the Holiday mini-kit, random stickers, pink flower washi tape} and created adorable cards to give my family!

{Bonus: you could use your extra cards to create SIMPLE, yet awesome cards for ANY holiday or birthday!!}

Speaking of other holidays, I probably won’t ever scrapbook or have pictures of St. Patrick’s Day…so I used this card from the Holiday Mini-Kit to create a sweet Valentine’s Day card for my hubby. 🙂 LUCKY ME!! The card said “lucky” and I just added black stickers that spell ME.

I am the lucky one, after all!
