February 10, 2012 Valentine's Day Treat Holder (for Teachers/Para/Bus)

Good afternoon everyone! I am wrapping up all Valentine's Day treats/holders for my kiddos today. I made a little Valentine's Day treat holder out of a tag from the Cricut TBBM (Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More) cartridge. I measured the bottom portion of the tag and cut a piece of Kraft cardstock and had sewn that to the tag. After I added the grass (used a Fiskars border punch), lake, grass, lily pad, and frog (all from Create a Critter) I used the We R Memory Keepers Crop-A-Dile Corner Chomper to round off the bottom of the tag. I used a stamp from Stampin' Up from the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set and then attached the dragonfly I cut from the Create a Critter cartridge. The little eyes on the dragonfly are bling from iRock. Hope you like it. Have a great weekend everyone!;0) I am entering this in a challenge, here is the link: http://www.creativetimeforme.com/2012/02/throwback-thursday-challenge-episode.html

February 8, 2012 Spring Shadowbox and Paper Heart Valentine Ornament

Good evening everyone!!! I got a little crafty today and made TWO projects.:0) The first is a little shadow box that has been sitting around my craftroom for a while. I am so glad that I finally made something to put in it.:0) My thoughts for this is.....try and make a seasonal shadow box. I know it isn't that close to Spring yet....but the weather in south TX tells me otherwise. lol Ok.....here is what I used for the shadow box.... Spring Shadow box shadow box: Michael's cardstock: Recollections, (old) SU, and DCWV Nana's Nursery (has the cutest designs!!!) border punch: Fiskars Cartridges: Spring Fever Holiday (SPRING) and Create a Critter The second project I worked on today.....is a paper heart ornament I am pretty sure I picked up at Michael's. I was "going" to put the frog, lily pad, grass, and lake in the shadow box....but it was too big...so it is here on the ornament. Here is what I used in the project: paper heart ornament: Michael...

Anywho....they used (thin) corkboard as an embellishment. I used a Spellbinders die my friend sent me for my birthday today.....with corkboard I found at Michael's last year. I was surprised how well the Spellbinders cut through it. There is just way too much fun to be had with the Cuttlebug. lol Here is what I used: die: Spellbinders apple cardstock: DCWV cardstock: (plain) Recollections card: Recollections heart button: Michael's Thanks for dropping by and have a great weekend!!!!:0)
