Two Valentine Finishes

I finished these two valentine ornaments making my finishes for the year at four. I am still stitching on my Crazy Fifteen Challenge Pieces. The first one is a Lizzie Kate stitched on an unknown 32 count fabric with DMC floss.
I chose a blue floral fabric to finish it into a pillow ornament.

The second one is "Love Me" a freebie from Primitive Betty. I used an unknown 32 Count Fabric that was dyed with strawberry Koolaid. When I dyed the fabric for Lizzie Kate "Hello Spring" I saw a skein of DMC 601 lying on the bar so I dipped it in the yellow dye. I thought it turned out a pretty color. It looked like a valentine color so I used it for this design. I finished it with a floral fabric in peach,rose and green. used green ribbon and pink pearls.
