I was on the lookout for some gorgeous valentines gift wrapping essentials.
I came across this adorable gloss red bag with a glitter heart!
i then purchased some red tissue paper, i imagine the end result to be the bag with red tissue paper poking out the top :)
You would not belive how long i have spent on looking for the right card & gift bag!
so many stores & so many destiantions.
I then came across this simple yet striking card that i thought i could post to my valentine as he is not back yet :(
but i also thought i could use my creative skills & put them to work on a personalized card!
i am such a big fan of personalized cards, as its always so nice knowing the person has put thought & effort into what they are giving you :)
this is the front, i am still working on it.
im not sure what i should write on the front, either,
Happy Valentines Day
Be mine?
Be my Valentine?
haha just not sure!?!
I also picked up some glittery red alphabet stickers that i think i will use on the front of the card, the picture also shows the inside :)

This is my first attempt at 'Cupcake Bath Bombs'! :)
How do you think i went on my first try?!

The recipe which i used:
1 part Citric Acid
2 parts Bicarbonate Soda
Witch-hazel in a spray bottle
Cosmetic grade Soap Colorant
Essential Oil - your choice
Cupcake Molds & Liners
then the frosting:
as i did not have meringue powder on hand :( i tried using royal icing, it turned out well, but next time i will definitely be using meringue powder.
