Valentine's Day is one of my favorite celebrations!

gifts and special Valentine blog hops and linkys.

I love love love this soup can mini album made by
 Lyndee at Recovering Craft Hoarder.

  Click on the photo to go to her blog post with a tutorial.  

I see Lyndee's creation as a starting point for many other projects!

Many years ago, I had the idea of using can lids of varying sizes to make wind chimes.  It was one of those projects that I never completed, but Lyndee's project reminded me of it.  How cute would a Valentine's Day themed wind chime be utilizing shades of pinks and reds with hearts mixed with some beads here and there?

If you have tin snips . . . you can trace shapes on the can lids and cut out . . . use care and finish the edges so they are not sharp enough to get a nasty cut.  Would be great for use in your jewelry creations, to decorate frames . . . the possibilities are endless!

Thanks for Lyndee for the inspiration!  

Cameo at Blissmade Designs made this cute
canvas wall art . . . click on the photo to go
 to her blog where she has a tutorial on
how to make your own.

I will be posting some awesome looking Valentine treats
 over at my food blog, Gina's Italian Kitchen, including
a recipe for fast and easy homemade cupcakes.

How about printing out these cupcake holders 
and make these cute little tags to go with
those homemade cupcakes?
