A Crafty Soiree #25

Hello crafy friends, last week was our biggest A Crafty Soiree yet and I'm happy you all choose to come party with us! It's always so fun to see all the things you are up to! Last week, I was really drawn to the creative ways you had to express your love for others in celebration of Valentine's Day. I found three cute, easy, and inexpensive ways I'd like to feature before we get to the linky.
Rachel at Bubbly Nature Creations, made sweet photo magnets that are practically free and a great way to show off your little one. A sweet cupid tag and a cute saying are all that's needed to turn strawberry crush into the perfect Valentine, as seen at Beautiful Mess.
Colette at My Computer is My Canvas has an adorable freebie, that's a fun way to turn ordinary lip balm into something fabulous!
