Valentine's Countdown - Day #5

This is just a simple sour cream container filled

with lil hearts. Simple, but effective (it has candy)!

Valentine's Countdown - Day #4

My Valentine rose topiary using the new "Sweethearts" paper

pack! It took 3 pieces of B&T and a lot of patience - but too cute!

Valentine's Countdown - Day #3

The new "A Game" set - which I wasn't sure I even liked...and now I sooo

love it! It's too much fun!

Valentine Countdown - Day #2

These were so easy and fun to make! I had the bags just sitting around

and when I saw Sharon Holmes post of the ones she did - I couldn't resist! What a great

idea! The girls at my open house loved them too!

Valentine's Countdown - Day 1

I used these M&M sleeves for my Open House treats! Too much fun!!

(used the heart from Sweetheart WOTG and words from Sweet Baby stamps set)

Valentine Countdown - Day 14

Well, this one was the big one. This gift was for my wonderful hubby. The one person in my life who really values all of my creative endeavors! I made this card for him, knowing he would love its "corniness". The box was done with much love...and at times, frustration.

I used: Card: Back Country CTMH paper, chipboard, "Backwoods" & "Bee Mine" stamp set. Box: Black, white & hollyhock CTMH paper. Silver & clear embossing, "Posterboard Alpha", "You Rock", "Fieldtrip Alpha" & "So Lucky" stamp sets. I'm sure I missed some stuff...

Valentines Countdown - Day 13

These candy sliders are for my kids. My daughter loved that book - I love you forever, so that one is her's and my son truly "rocks".

I used: CTMH cardstock & inks. "Love You Forever" & "You Rock" stamp sets.

Valentines Countdown - Day 12

Okay, so I "cheezed" it out a little bit, but I have a workshop tonight and I have a lot left to do! So, I made these quick treats for my school bus kids - they won't even notice the stamping...trust me! lol

Valentine Countdown - Day 11

Well, I can't really take all the credit for these. My 9 year old daughter came up with the idea when looking through a Oriental Trading catalog. She did the stamping, I did the cutting and some gluing and her Papi (my amazing DH) did the stapling! The blow-up guitars are really cute!

Valentine Countdown - Day 10

I really love how this turned out! I used: Library Card stamp set, heart punch, Classmates Alpha, Animal Cookies and Tulip paper...oh! and a clear button!

Countdown to Valentines - Day 9

Kinda sick of reds & pinks...went with Vineyard Berry, Garden Green and Juniper. Used some Veranda paper and "New" One of a Kind stamp set. (I did break down and add a heart...)

Valentine Countdown- Day 8

Hey Cupcake! Love this cupcake stamp set. I used it with some topstitch, heavenly blue and chocolate paper. I clear embossed the cupcake stamping for some shine. This made me hungry for sweets!

Valentine Countdown - Day 7

I used Topstitch paper, stamp set from Topstitich WOTG, colonial white metal accent with chocolate rub ons...that's about it! I hope you like it!

Valentine Countdown - Day 6

Okay...here is day 6! I used Perfect Day paper (one of my fav's), Jan. SOM and a dimensional heart inked with tulip. I love to sew cards - doesn't it just take it a step cooler! Thanks for looking.

Countdown to Valentines Day #5

My first easel card! It was fun to make, will definitely be trying it again. I used the Topstitch paper, the WOTG Topstitch stamps, Chocolate and Blush cardstock!

Countdown to Valentines-Day 4

Well, I don't LOVE it, but I've been promising myself I would use my cricut more...I used Perfect Day paper (with Tulip and Sorbet) and stamped the background with Heartthrob.

Countdown to Valentines - Day 3 (late)

Sorry this is late! I made it yesterday and got so caught up in being "mom's taxi" I forgot to get it on! I used Love Birds, heart dimensionals (with some liquid glass for shine) and CTMH papers (chocolate, crystal blue). Thanks for looking!

14 Days of Valentines

Join me and the creative ladies of CTMH for a "14 Days of Valentines" blog hop of sorts. Be sure to check out each blog as we make our day to Valentines day! Since I was too busy yesterday to get one on...I have 2 for you! These are the 2 projects we did at my monthly stamp workshop! The lil' love note has some stitching and the kiss bag has some shine!

Back to life...

Well, the snow day yesterday was nice, but its even better to be back to normal. I was hoping to do tons of creatin' over the break, but unfortunately the best laid plans...yadda yadda. I did sit down at my newly cleaned work area yesterday and played with some stamp sets I have yet to crack open...
Date book used: (D1372) Grown with Love, (D1285) Life's a Jungle, Celebrate
Valentine card used: (D1406) True Friends (SOM), Grown with love
Cupcake box used: Topstitch Paper
Hope you enjoy...not thrilled with how the date book turned out. The cupcake box is a pre-made box from a local craft store with layered paper flowers and gathered ribbon. I love the new Topstitch paper and the Grown with Love stamp set!
