Valentine's Day Tags

 Tomorrow is my Surfside Quilter's Guild meeting, so I have made some small goodie bags for my Friendship Group.  They have 3 chocolate dipped Oreos and two pieces of Godiva chocolate.
I made these tags from various left over scraps that I had in my crafting supplies.
 I poured over pinterest trying to get ideas.  None of these look like any of the ones I looked at!
 It literally took me an hour to make the first one. I just couldn't get it right.  I had so many choices and I was trying to mix up "looks" and it was hindering my design process.  Nothing looked good.
 Finally, I decided which elements went with certain things I wanted to use and I created very different looking tags.  When I began I thought they would all look fairly similar, but I ended up with a wide variety.
 I will not try to choose which lady gets which bag.  I'm just going to hand them out and hope for the best.  I thought I had a big stamp with the words, "Happy Valentine's Day", but I only had an itsy bitsy one.  I made it work, you can barely see it, but it's there.
This was totally last minute and what I thought would be a really quick process, ended up taking most of my day.  Mostly because I was working on my kitchen table and running around looking for things as I needed/remembered them.
