I had this idea in my head last year and Valentines Day came and went without me making it...I am not sure if anyone can relate to this card so I will let you know the story behind it...When I was in elementry school a LONG time ago, the teachers at the school would have the kids bring a brown bag from home and we would hang it under the chalk board...In class we would make handmade Valentines and everyone would fill up the bags with Valentine Hearts they had cut out...Our names were on the bags but I left a name off this one...You could if you like write the name of the person you are giving it to...I just used my postage stamp scissors to cut the top of a piece of kraft paper to mimic the top of a brown bag (I think I should have cut the other way oops but you get the idea) and I folded on the sides and bottom a bit then added pop dots under it...Punched and placed several hearts in diffent colors and one on the bottom like it fell out....May your Valentine Bag Overflow this year! TFL!

I knew exactly what this represented when I saw it - I remember this when I was in elementary school! What an awesome idea - especially to put the receiver's name on it!
