I saw the idea for the LOVE Bugs Valentine's and just had to make them for my daughter's preschool class. They turned out adorable. I went to Dandees site but couldnt find any way to print the template (some of site under construction) so I had to hand draw these but they were still precious. Thanks for sharing suck an awesome idea Tori!! -
This post came just in time for me as I try to figure out what to bring to my daughter's class besides candy hearts. I love the magnifying glass card! Will be picking some up today at the nearest party store :-) -
I just love these ideas, Tori!! Which graphic website do you use to make your cute labels, printable, and cut outs?
