Happy Valentine's Day!!

Took a nice long weekend with the family. Mostly hung out and cleaned house, but that was nice too, in its own way. LOL.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! I hope you are enjoying this find Monday. I have the valentines I made for my family to share today.

This first one is completely cased from Janelle's blog. She received the highlight from Papertrey Ink's Make it Monday Challenge and I knew I had to do this for my husband's valentine.
I used my cricut (the heart from Lacy Labels) to make my heart mask. The sentiments are from Papertrey Ink stamps (Borders & Corners: Hearts and Heart Prints) and one from Little Yellow Bicycle ([all you need is love] stamp from their Love Letters line). Inks (black and cranberry) and the love medallion are from Close to My Heart. The ribbon is also from Little Yellow Bicycle's Love Letters line. What do you think? I love it, and can't wait to try it with some other themes, particularly Christmas.

These are the valentines for the kids. Totally inspired by Nichole Heady's blog here.

The cards are actually luggage tags again cut with my cricut (fabulous finds cartridge). I then covered the front in strips of ribbon and cut with scissors.


Thanks for visiting!

37th Birthday

This is a birthday card I made recently for a friend's birthday. I was a bit apprehensive about making a cupcake birthday card for an adult, but I think she liked it. The cupcake and numbers dies are from Papertrey Ink, as well as the stamp set (Big Birthday Wishes), the paper (Wings) and ink are from Close to My Heart. I placed the numbers through my xyron sticker maker upside down and then covered them with prisma glitter.

Jumping right in again...

No talking about that long absence. Really. I'm not going to apologize or anything. These things happen. Homeschooling has taken a lot more of my free time than I had even imagined. But now, I think things are settled in. I'm happy with the way our curriculum is going. Daily school is going smoother. So I hope to return to blogging more frequently.

Hope.

So here are a few cards I made using the Wings Workshop on the Go from Close to My Heart. I did alter them a bit, added some glitter etc.



I'm really rather excited about the spray pens that Close to My Heart are now carrying. :)
