Filed Under Cards, Valentines | Leave a Comment
A fun little Valentine that I made using a stamp I got for $1 at Michaels…..
I am super busy and stressed with my school work. And sadly, I must say goodbye today to a very special friend who is moving. I have a feeling today is not going to a good day

Valentine Treats for the Teachers
Filed Under 3D, Big Shot, Stampin Up!, Valentines | Leave a Comment
I love to send little holiday treats to my kids school teachers as well as the piano teacher and the dance teacher. My love language is gifts so I am always sending gifts to others!
This year I really didn’t get as creative as in previous years. You have seen this project on my blog before! But it is cute and simple so I decided to use it again! I use the big shot Top Note and small brown paper bags (from Michaels) to make a fun treat bag to fill with chocolate!
The hearts are from the stamp set Love You Much and the words are from my brand new Well Scripted stamp set. Both are SU! sets. The ribbon is from Michaels and was only $1.
We are off to buy a new (and much needed) TV today and then I have class this afternoon. I don’t see any stamping time in my day I got my SU order but 4 things were on backorder. And they were the things I was most looking foward to getting!!!

From the Heart
Filed Under Cards, Stampin Up!, Valentines | 1 Comment
Thanks for the sweet comments you have been leaving me this past week. I am so happy to be making time to stamp and blog again! So fun!
Today I have a very simple Valentine card to show you. I made a couple of these in just a few minutes!
I made the hearts with a SU punch. The pearls are from the SU Pretties kit. But guess what- I found half back pearls. Michaels sells them now! And they have adhesive backs. And they come in lots of colors. Sweet! Obviously someone from Michaels was reading my blog and decided to make me extra happy by selling half back pearls! 
LOL

Valentines Treats for the Kids!
Filed Under 3D, Valentines | 2 Comments
I am in the process of making 35 little sucker toppers for my kids to share with their friends in school for Valentines Day. I think they are turning out pretty cute. And it is a super cheep project. I got the stamp from Michael’s for $1 and the ribbon spools are also from Michael’s for $1!!!
The picture is a little dark. It has been rainy and stormy all week! Which is pretty big when you live in the dessert! We are actually under a tornado warning right now! So I stayed in my house stamping! Perfect!

I have a couple projects to show you today using the Candy Lane Designer Series Paper.
First, I have a 2 page scrapbook layout! I have a certain reader (you know who you are!) who is always asking for these 2 pagers. So this one is for you!!! It is the page that my scrapbook clubs made for February. Sorry I don’t have pics of my cute kids in it yet. The layout has room for lots of 2×2 pictures!
Here is a close-up of the title (which I love!)…
And of course, I had to have a set of thos paper pieced birdies…
My favorite part of this whole layout is the color combo!!! It is Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Ridinghood Red and Pink Pirouette. It looks very pretty IRL!
Next I have a card for you using the new Sale a Bration set called "Yummy." That is my favorite word these days….so of course I had to have the set!!! And since it was FREE, can you blame me?!!! Don’t forget to place your $50 order, so you can pick a free sale a bration set!!!! So here is the card…
I love how "girly" this card is! I think it would make a great wedding or bridal shower card! And do you see that super sweet flower?!!!
Yummy!!!! It’s called a Fleurette and when I saw them in the new catty, I knew I had to have them. But they are so pretty that I have been hoarding them!!! Mmmmm Mmmmmm Mmmmmm!!!

I used a kit called Heartstrings for both of these layouts.
I like how they turned out! But I have so many questions!!! Someday I will figure this out!!! Hope that you had a happy Valentine’s Day!

The stamp set is by Papertrey Ink and I colored it with my Copic markers. I also popped up the mailboxes and that looks really cool IRL.

Isn’t that heart paper clip fun??? I made it with a standard paper clip and it was super easy. Click here for instructions from Kristina Werner.
I hope you all have your Valentine’s Day cards ready for those special people!

Simple Valentine Treat
Filed Under 3D, Big Shot, Stampin Up!, Valentines | 2 Comments
I have a confession. I have not stamped since last Thursday! Yikes!!!! I have been having terrible troubles with migraines. And now, on top of the migraine, I have come down with a cold.
Today I have a simple Valentine’s Day treat to show you. I made a bunch of these to give to the gals at my MOPS table last week.
I just cut 2 top notes with my Big Shot Die Cut Machine and then attached them to a small treat bag. I had to cut the bag down. I think I got them at Target next to all the gift bags. Here is a side view…
The bags were filled with yummy candies. I ate all the left overs!!! I thought it might help the headache!
I am off to rest some more and hope to stamp again very soon!
Recipe:
Stamps: Hugs & Wishes
Paper: Candy Lane DSP, Kraft
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Other: small treat bag, Heart to Heart Punch, Word Window Punch, Pink Pirouette Striped Ribbon, Big Shot Die Cut Machine, Top Note Die
