VALENTINE EXCHANGE

These cuties were created for our Mix Media Swap this month. 
 The theme was anything Valentine.
I found these adorable heart shaped tealights at a local store
 and decided to decorate a container for them.  Each one was different and I added a little saying
 from a Close to My Heart stamp set that said
"You light up my life."  How appropriate!





Thanks for stopping by today!
