True Love! Non Traditional Valentine's Day tag!

With Valentine's Day just around the corner I wanted to make a tag for my Husband's goody bag! I had in my mind exactly what I wanted so I actually pulled out my Gypsy to help me make it. The tag is huge at over 7"! 

I just love how it turned out! 

Now we never carved our initials in a tree trunk but we have sketched them in wet cement!
