There will even be some great blog candy (giveaways) to win along the way! More on that in a moment!

With Valentine’s Day just a few days away we are sharing some wonderful ideas and inspiration for your viewing and crafting pleasure!  Each Design Team member will be featuring an original project each day (Saturday & Sunday) made especially for this hop. Make sure to check out each DT member's blog and collect the special letter there.   There will be prizes along the way at our DT members' blogs, AND there will be some nice PRIZES with a few different ways to win at CookingWithCricut.com!
Day Two Project A Valentine Explosion Box.  This is actually a set of 3 Nested boxes with plenty of room for pictures and SWEET Love Notes!
Day 1
My Project is a "SWEET SHOP" mini album
This will be a Mini Album kit and class.  I am still having Camera issues but I will post a Video of the inside pages by Sunday.  For anyone that would like to buy pre-cut kit the cost will be $20.00 and include all of the Cricut cut files.  This album features cuts from Cutting Up, Love Struck, Plantin, Doodlecharms, My Community, Paper Doll Dress Up just to name a few.

As a bonus for visiting today I am offering two Great Prizes.  The first is one of Melin's amazing cut files called Love Bandit pictured above.
The second is Cricut Cartridge Doodlecharms.  All you have to do to win one of these great prizes is become a Follower and leave a comment sharing your favorite SWEET TREAT.  Super Easy.
Here is the “secret” letter you need to collect to be eligible for a prize package at CookingWithCricut.com.  ___Y__  

Now it's your turn! Let’s see your sweet Valentine projects. Be sure to include a Cricut or other die cut machine cut on your project and link it up at CookingWithCricut.com.   The Design Team will pick their three favorites and one lucky sweetheart will be chosen randomly to win one of the six prize packages being offered in this hop.

Next stop... One of my favorite bloggers...Christel from onescrappinsista.blogspot.com. Go see what awesome project she has in store for you today.

And don’t forget, when you're done, make sure to head back to CookingWithCricut.com and get entered to win one of SIX prize packages!  Here’s how:

The mini album is too cute. TFS! I do have a question about your kit. I thought we are not allowed to sell any cut Cricut images. I thought we could only sell completed projects. Has that changed? Please let me know. Oh and my favorite sweet treat: creme brulee.
