The first was one featured on "Free Pretty Things for You". She has beautiful vintage graphics. If you haven't browsed her blog, you really should. You can find this valentine graphic here.
I started by gluing some crepe paper to back of her paper graphic to form a ruffle.
I then glued a second crepe paper ruffle to the on top of the first paper ruffle.
The graphic (with the two sets of ruffles) was then glued on top of the paper cup. Before filling it with candy, I further embellished it by using some hot glue and a pipe cleaner to create a handle. I then added a felt heart and some ric rak to finish the candy cup.
Another favorite printable this year is from Farm Chicks where they feature several different variations of treat bags here.
I just added some trim, a felt heart and scalloped the edges.
Happy Crafting! Happy Valentine's Day!
By the way, I participated in Sarah's heart to heart 2011 exchange and my box of goodies arrived.
I can't wait to fill the white tree in my craft room with all this loveliness! I promise to post more close-up shots soon.PS My mother-in-law is still battling some serious infections and will be in the hospital for quite awhile. We aren't sure what her long-term care looks like, but she's one tough lady. Thank you for your continued prayers and positive thoughts.

I am loving your new blog header, you have a great stylist's touch - I would never have thought to combine that paper goodness with an apron and your basket project is super cute. It's funny, just this past weekend, I was thinking I don't craft enough with crepe paper, because it really is an excellent product. You have used it in such a great way.
