Valentine's Day Treat Bags

Hey, have you heard that I'm having a 100 follower giveaway???  Check out the details here.

Whew!  My daughters and I have have been working most of the afternoon to get together their Valentine treat bags for school.  I cut, doodled, sorted candy, and stapled, and they glued everything and filled the bags.  We had a lot of fun making them, and I think they turned out to be really cute!  Here they are:

 My fourth grader is in a very anti-pink stage right now, so pink hearts were out of the question.  We settled, instead, on two shades of blue.  I did sneak in some pink cheeks, though, to tie the bags in to the toppers a little more.  Thankfully, there were no protests from my little pre-teen!  ;o)

I got the winged heart from Lettering Delights' Cupid SVG Set, and I cut it out using Make-the-Cut and my Cricut.  It looked awfully plain, so I added a little face...I think it looks much cuter now!  I created the sentiment in a table in Microsoft Word, and I was able to print six to a page of 8.5 x 11" cardstock. 

This is Madison's teacher's bag.  It just has extra candy, some truffles, and LOTS of red pens.  Believe me, he NEEDS red pens...he's always misplacing them, it seems.  :o)  I think there are 40 in there...he should get a kick out of that (and maybe be able to keep up with them for a while).

My first grader is much more pink-friendly, so we decided to go with a heart from Simply Charmed.  

I decided to hide the faces on the hearts and draw them in later to save a little paper (and gluing).  Also, the hearts are pretty small, so the faces are just TINY.   I used the same table in Microsoft Word to create the sentiment; I just changed the alignment and name. 

Taylor's teacher also got extra candy and truffles, but I made her a little Post-It note cover that you can read about here.  

Well, I hope you enjoyed these treat bags.  I decided to enter these into a couple of challenges.  Crafting with Christina is challenging us to create a Valentine's themed project, as long as it is not a card, and Crazy About Cricut is having a Thankful Thursday Challenge in which we are to show our classroom Valentine's treats.  I thought these treat bags would be perfect for both challenges.  I hope you all have an awesome Super Bowl Sunday!!!  Thanks so much for visiting!
