Today I am sharing with you the treats WE made for Ariel and Carter's classes!  Valentines Day really is a day that kids love!  I thought it would be fun to make Valentine's for the class!  For Ariel's class we made:

This was quite the family affair, Chad die cut the Spellbinders labels dies (over 100 of them)  I stamped the front, Ariel stamped the back heart wrote the names and colored hers in!   I used Lawn Fawn's My Silly Valentine stamp set, such a fun Valentine set! The first three bags of conversation hearts I bought tasted like chlorine!  So those went into the garbage but the next few  bags said on them that they just might have be made in a place where milk had been used and do to a milk allergy I could not use conversation hearts for Carter's class.  I may have been upset, I mean I had stamped 58 of these, and painted in with ink 24 of them!  What was I to do, any candy I thought would work in a little bag probably would not be dairy and nut free!   I thought well too bad Carter's class your getting just the Valentine!  But than my friend said to me what about suckers?  Oh yeah!

For Carter's Valentine's since he wasn't interested in coloring (he was interested in eating the treats!) I painted them in with inks (inked up a clear block spritzed with water and painted in with a paint brush)  And just used sctoch tape to adhere to suckers onto the Valentine!

For Ariel's class I also made some treats to eat at school:

Rice krispie pops!  I made rice krispie treats and cut them out with a heart cookie cutter, than stuck a stick into it  (with a bit of chocolate so it would stay) than put some melted chocolate on top and sprinkles!  I hope her class loves them!  I enjoy making these treats!  And for the first time ever I finally made them BEFORE the kids went to bed!  I usually wait but this time I thought to myself why do I do that?  

I hope that you enjoyed seeing what I made for Valentine's Day!  Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win a stamp set from Sweet Stamp Shop!  You don't have to be a follower of my blog but I would love it if you were!  :>  The next stop if the lovely and my fellow Canadian friend Elena!  Enjoy celebrating this day of love!
