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.

PTI Challenge Day 5--Emboss Resist

I thought I'd play along with Nichole Heady and the Day 5 Challenge. The challenge is to use the emboss resist technique. Since I need Valentine's day cards I thought I would try making one for my husband. Seeing the finished project however makes me think I should add some stickles and give it to my daughter instead. She would appreciate the pink much more. LOL.

Supplies:
Paper: Hibiscus burst from PTI; Colonial White from CTMH
Ink: Sweet Blush, Hibiscus, and Dark Chocolate from PTI, Bamboo from CTMH
Stamps: Heart from PTI (Heart Prints), Large corner swirl and Love text from CTMH, music stamp from Gina K

Valentines for the kids

These are the valentines we will be giving to our kids this year. I thought the heart balloons would make excellent valentines for a 5 year old and 3 year old. They are simple cards, but hey they're 5 and 3, it's not about the card, it's about the candy in the basket. HaHa!

Supplies
CS: Papertrey Ink
Ink: Ocean Tides, Spring Rain, Raspberry Fizz, & Berry Sorbet from Papertrey Ink
Stamps: Heart Prints from Papertrey Ink
Ribbon: Raspberry Fizz satin and Spring Rain Twill from Papertrey Ink
Flexible Wire from my stash
