Happy Birthday, Caroline Valentine

Today is my niece's 10th birthday. She was born on Valentine's Day, so it seemed natural that she was named Valentine. She complains however that her special day always falls during the middle of the week; she just needs to get used to celebrating her birthday for several days! She can have a party on the weekend, and cake and ice cream and presents on the 14th, as well.

This picture was taken at Thanksgiving of 2012 in the country around her aunt Sue's in the little community of Lingleville, Erath County, Texas. Her favorite color is pink. She is in the accelerated class of her 5th grade and smart as she can be. She enjoys her brother and sister, their puppy, helping in the kitchen, and making cookies at my house, especially at Christmas.

I used a scrap kit called "Ice Cream and Cake" created by Rainy at Sweetz, and SC_Sketch 321 from Scrapbook Challenges.

A Valentine for Caroline Valentine

Our Valentine Birthday Girl is Caroline Valentine. She can be as sweet as these candied hearts and cupcakes! Happy 7th birthday and Happy Valentine's Day, Caroline.

I used a Tube tutorial and elements from Scrap and Tubes and Candy's Treats. I really enjoyed creating this confection!

Valentine for a Car Junky

 

Yes, I know he seems a little young, but he loves those NASCARS! My sister's oldest has picked up his Papa's love of old trucks and fast cars. Thought the freebie QP from Soda Pop Shop and Divine Digital makes a "sweet" Valentine!

A Five-Year Old's Vision of a Valentine

My sister's youngest ~ she helped me make her Valentine. She sat here and picked out all of the things she wanted on it. I think she did a great job, don't you?

We used pretty papers and elements from Meadorlady at Creative Elegance Designs and Mary of Mary's Mixes.

6th Valentine, Sweet Valentine!

My youngest grandson, in fact, my youngest grandchild, is the perfect one to receive this sweet treat with teddy bear included from Scrap and Tube. Doesn't he look innocent with that scrape on his cheek?

5th Valentine, My Valentine!

My oldest grandson loves creating things like paper airplanes and robots. I found a lot of these scrapbooking elements at Ptitesouris. His hugs and kisses Valentine reminds me of the fun we have together!

4th Valentine, Sweet Valentine

I loved Diane's creations on Candys Treats where I found all of the scrapbooking elements and papers  used in this sweet red Valentine. I used her "Candied Hearts" freebie kit to create this next Valentine for another of my sweet, sweet granddaughters.

2nd Valentine, O Valentine!

Using Rainy's beautiful papers and scrapping elements, I created this 2nd Valentine for another of my grandchildren. With only 4 more to go, I'm in a race to beat the cupid on the 14th!

Visit Rainy at her Sweetz Store and blog.

Valentine, Dear Valentine

Thought I would work on some early Valentines for my grandchildren. Here is the first one. I loved working with Mary's Mixes and her Valentine scrapping elements. I have to admit mine looks a lot like hers, but I was intrigued with how she layered everything and had a blast working with them until I was able to duplicate some of it. I hope you will visit Mary's Mixes if you enjoy digital scrapbooking. She has some of the most beautiful kits out there!
