Those huggables are so cute! I am especially loving the monkey!
Love all the Valentine Day ideas. I really like the monkey.
The Huggables are adorable!! I’m thrilled to see Erin’s back with something really nifty – that bag closure die will come in handy for our Advent calendar gifts next year (I put them in bags – and have a hard time keeping kids from peeking – this would help!!). And the matchbook die!!! I love that. It will definitely be a must on my list!
How cute are those Huggables?? Love it all this release!!
All of the animals are totally adorable in the Huggables set. I especially love the faces, hearts, and envelopes…but the pencil/arrow combo! What a great idea for a gift exchange on Valentine’s Day! Believe me….the kids get plenty of candy!!
The huggables with those sentiments are so sweet! Love the details.
The Huggables are just too cute!!
I don’t buy Valentine sets very often. I just don’t need many and it’s not my favorite holiday. I think Fun Lovin’ just might make the cut. It is super cute for Valentine’s Day, but so versatile for the rest of the year. I don’t think it will replace TT: Valentine as my favorite, but it certainly has a lot of potential.
Valentines have never looked cuter! Such fun products today.
Lots of fun for kids today! The Huggables are sweet, and love the pencil Arrows!
Such cute projects
The poloar Bear is adorable, the bag closure die looks ingenious, and the matchbook die looks fun!

All the Valentine’s projects are “love-ly”, but my favorite are the matchbooks. Instead of the traditional card base, the matchbooks are a fun way to send a Valentine’s greeting or pair it up with a sweet treat.

Today’s projects are just too cute, love it!
