Valentine's help - Set 2008 or 2009 instructions needed

[higglies]

I've assembled the pieces from spares and BL to give as a Valentine's gift to my wife but am now discovering an absence of instructions available. Help for either of these sets would be appreciated:

Not sure how much building experience you have, but it looks like it's a pretty straightforward build, especially if you have a parts list. It appears to be 4 studs deep with each of the 1 stud wide bricks visible in the middle on the front of the heart actually being 1x4 bricks going through to the back side to provide strength (it's hollow). Then, they simply have some 1x2 plates popped on along the edges to help with the tapered 3D effect.

Talon2174's quick review of the set on YouTube should give you all a nice view of most surfaces to recreate it, and if you pause toward the end as she's putting it back in the box you can see 1 step of the instructions that gives you a little more detail:

If you're really having a hard time with it even with that additional info, I'm sure there's plenty of us around here that would be happy to help.

Thanks. This helps with the bottom half. Will work on it tonight.
