Last Minute Valentine's

Well nothing like leaving to the last minute. I just finished my Valentine's projects. The first picture shows the little altered fruit cups that I did for my husband's co-workers. I took the fruit tins and used a can-opener to remove the botton. I filled them with trail mix (in a bag) and confetti and sealed up the bottom. I decorated them with Pink and Green Striped and paisley designer paper (I think it is from Making Memories). I stamped the tags (you can't really see them in the picture and the center circles in the flowers. I got the flowers at the dollar store (just dismantled the silk flowers and put a brad through them.) I am very happy with how they turned out.

The second batch of projects are for my co-workers and my family. The middle is a candy sack (actually it is filled with cashews in a mini-ziploc back.) The cardstock is folded around the bag and tied at the top with a tag on a scallop punched piece of cardstock. The side bags are the stander 2-4-6-8 bags. I put a box of Conversation hearts in each one. The Scallop punch on the fronts are stamped with the heart from "Made from Scratch" and them I stuck on a sweet silver heart charm I got at Walmart. I didn't have time to really decorate these so they are on the plain side, but I think they will be appreciated.
