since valentines day is coming up, i thought it would be fun to make a handful of valentine's projects to share on the blog all next week. i got my hands on the new making memories love struck collection recently, and wanted to start with that. the first thing i pulled out was the love struck garland kit.

Lovestruck_garland_kit

this is a really cute kit, that has everything you need to make the 3 garlands shown above. but i knew that for me personally, i wouldn't hang up something like that. but i loved the individual pieces to the kit. so i thought i would use it to make some other projects.

here is one of the cards i made. there were 4 of the decorative edged square pattern papers, so i made 4 simple cards using them. simply adhered them to white cardstock, and then added a few random embellishments from the rest of the collection. you can see the other 3 cards i made over on the making memories blog today. and stay tuned, because i did a really fun layout using the garland kit too.

    Hi Laura,
    My girls would love the garland for their bedroom. I think they are pretty but wouldn’t look good anywhere in my house, too much pink for me. I like the cards though very cute. I will check back later to see what you did with the garland kit.

    Love what you did with this- that decorative edge is quite yummy on your card! I did make a garland for valentine’s day- hoping to get another one done today! And my daughter (4yo) was soooo cute when she came down the day after I’d hung it- ‘Thank you, Mommy! Thank you for finishing this & hanging it up!’ Lol!
