We're so very close to the end with only two more chances for you to win one of the five Paper Heart collection kits up for grabs this week. Today's requirement is that you tell us about the people most important in your life, whether it's a spouse, grandmother or child. We'd love to hear what makes them so important to you and if you've arranged plans for them on Valentines. Afterall, the "love" holiday isn't just for the lucky couples out there, it's reach goes far beyond the bounds of just two people. Love is everywhere and all of us experience it in some form or another. Share it. The winner will be announced on Monday.
Crate Paper Designer :: Jaime Warren
Paper Heart is accomodated by many hues, but you're not required to use all of them if you don't feel like it. Jaime's taken only the red and pink elements from the Paper Heart collection to create her layout, a more traditional color palette for this time of year. The layout is sweeter than ever.
"I remember making Valentine's Day holders in Kindergarten for the big day! We made them out of paper plates, doilies and glitter. I clearly remember the pink and red glitter we had used, too. So pretty! I have loved Valentine's Day ever since!"
Crate Paper Designer :: Charlene Cundy
This pocket album of "loving memories" from Charlene Cundy is exquisite beyond words. Page after page, there are suprises tucked away beneath layers of embellishments and papers. You can't help but want to look through it to see what's next!
"My favorite Valentine's memory was when my husband and I built our new house and my husband surprised me with the new furniture of our entryway. You see, we pretty much spent all our money on building the house, so I expected the entryway to be bare for a while. He bought me a set of queen anne chairs, a table, and a beautiful curio cabinet. He placed a red rose on one of the chairs, too! It was such a wonderful surprise and perfect Valentine's Day!"
Crate Paper Designer :: Latonia Grant
A layout can still be soft and pretty with distressed edging. As an addition, it lends texture to the overall page.
"My favorite Valentine's Day childhood memory is of my father giving both my sister and I a teddy bear and chocolates every year while growing up. He'd also take it upon himself to remind us that he was the only man that could give us chocolates! =)"

The person I adore the most right now is my 10 year old daughter. She has the uncanny ability to know when things are tough or I am having a bad day. At nightime as we talk she will just hold onto me or grab my hand and want to hold on as if to say "it is okay" and then the stress melts away. To let her know how much I love her she will be getting chocolates (her favorite) and a book she has been asking for.

Wow, what gorgeous projects! Love the layouts and absolutely adore Char's mini album! Stunning!
My family, for sure, holds the most important and dear people to me. Always been so influenced by my sweet father, who has been the most loving and supportive role model a girl could ask for. :)

My boyfriend is the most important person in my life. And for Valentine's Day he's getting a new Xbox game. Boys will be boys. :)

The biggest blessings in my life are most definitely my husband and two daughters. They fill everyday, even the bad days, will so much love and happiness. I don't know where my life would be, and who I would be if there weren't a part of me. I plan on making them all something for this special love day, just not sure what yet. Thankfully I usually do my best work at the last minute. The ideas this week have definitely helped! :)

No one can top my husband and kids... we're going to do an entire day of what each one of us loves (but school and work must still be included!)... fun meals, activities, and treats. Can't wait!!

It's hard to play favorites, but my kids would definitely win on this one!! The biggest thing we have planned is my husband is taking our daughter to their first father/daughter valentines dance! Can't wait!!!

My "most important people" are my children and hubby-and yes, I am making treats for them!

I have two very important people in my life, my husband and my mom. As of now I have no plans for gifts for my hubby, we normally just hang out and have dinner. My mom I normally buy her a bag full of scrapbook stuff.

The most important people in my life are my eight siblings and parents - I'm halfway done with the valentines! ;)

Hubby, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren are everything to me. I made Valentine's cards for all of them. Just about to pop them in the mail. Except for my spouse, of course.

The most important people in my life are my husband and two girls. Hubby and I are going to dinner on Saturday, and I also made him a 10 Things I love about you mini that he'll get on Tuesday. I have a couple little gifts for the girls on Tuesday, and a special dessert planned....chocolate fondue for dipping fruit.

my most important people are my husband and my baby girl. we don't normally celebrate Valentine's day, but this is my little girl's first one, so i'm trying to think of something special to do (even though she won't remember it-- but it will be scrapbooked or documented in some way :))

Aww... i am blessed with many special people in my life. Aside from my fiance whom i love so very much, there are 3 other persons who each hold a big place in my heart: my Mom (she's my best friend in so many ways) and my 2 nieces who i don't see as often as i'd like due to distance but they are so very precious to me. They grow up so fast and at 5 and 7 they are so much fun! Unfortunately i won't be able to spend Valentine's Day with all 3 of these special people but i will surely send them my love... paper-style :P

My husband and three children are the most important people in my life, but there are also so many members of our family and friends who are very special too.

My mom would be the most important person in my life. She gives me advice and stands by my side. She keeps the house as warm as her heart can make it.

Such SWEET designs one and all!! I heart you!

Oh, I have so many important and much loved people in my life! I would need a year of Valentine's Days to show my love to all of them. My husband, children, sister, parents, friends near and far - they all mean so much to me.
This year I would like to show special love to my grandma - she's 92 and her husband (my dear 95 year old grandpa) passed away last year.
