Valentine's has kicked off yesterday good and proper with our free 'You Rock' printables ! And today we have rounded up some of our faves, and beyond adorable free Valentine's Printables for ya! Don't you just ♥ them?!
This year I wanted to design a kid-friendly Valentine's Day freebie that could work for anyone or any age - Think teachers, boys, girls, your latest playground crush, grandparents, BFFs...and because I'm always saying it to the people I love, " YOU ROCK " was my inspiration. Which of course led to the idea of the guitar design...which in turn made me crave candy (yes, I work in mysterious ways.). Anyways, this is how the humble candy tube turned into a super cool guitar . Pretty simple and quick to make too, but such a cute result, don't you think? :)

How To Make a Ribbon Ruffle Frosted Cake
Truth be told, I (Tess) have not always been a cake gal. As a child, I would have surely picked ice cream over sheet cake. My tastes have certainly changed over the years, but I will always have a huge sweet tooth. I love and work in pastry and I most definitely have my chocolate-craving days, but sometimes I just want some good old fashion candy.

DIY Quick & Easy Lace Candle Holders
My love affair with candles started when I was 14. We had to make crafty thing to sell at the school Christmas bazaar, and a candle-making workshop was where it all kicked off. Since then, I try to make my own if I can, like this one here and here . But making candles from scratch is not always possible..so I cheat a little by embellishing the candle holder itself. With a little imagination, anyone can create really amazing bespoke candles. And no, you do not need to be a seasoned crafter either! ;) These candles would be perfect for cozy dinner party tables or winter weddings!
Though in winter I crave mostly carbs and comforting foods, I am determined to make my resolutions stick this year, and try to eat more healthily. But I always struggle when it comes to snacks and appetizers. You know, the stuff that needs to fill a gap when craving strikes? So I have been scouring the web for amazing, healthy and totally scrumptious recipes to make and share - From smoothies to dinners and all in between. Here's my top faves!
