A Few More Valentine Treats!!





Here's a couple more treats I made for the kiddies for Valentine's day. It's another Stampin Up! Big shot (You really need one of these!) die, the Mini Milk Carton. Cut out 4 of them, decorated them simply because they are so stinking cute, they don't need much embellishing, and filled with jelly beans (pink, white and red of course!) Also used the Modern label punch from Stampin Up! and the Scalloped edge punch for decorating.

Huge sale going on over at Stampin Up! so go on over to my website (top right corner of my blog for the link) and check it out! Who doesn't like free stuff!!?? For every $60 purchase you make, you get a FREE ITEM from the SALEABRATION catalog, how cool is that!! You can even order directly online through my website.

I used a bit of a cheaper patterned paper, and you can see the white core of the paper coming through where I had to fold. Note to self, remember not to buy the cheaper stuff anymore!!

Take care,

Valentine Treat for the Teacher





Here's a quick little project I did for my daughter's teacher for Valentine's day. It's a cute little folder and inside I made 4 little Thank You note cards (because you know teacher's can always use those!) and in the other pocket, I decorated a bag of microwave popcorn!

The folder was super easy, and only uses one piece of 8.50 x 11 cardstock!

Black and red patterned paper is Stampin Up! dsp LOVE LETTERS (which I love!) and I used the same paper on the thank you cards.

Any questions, give me a shout, or leave a comment and I'll respond. Thanks for being so patient while I was out with the cold!

I'm off to finish up some little cuties for my kids for Valentine's day. Just picked up all my goodies at Bulk Barn, now to wrap it all. Will post pics in a couple of days, since they never visit my blog! LOL!!

Take care,

Can Anyone Help Me........?

So I have quite a few favorite blogs that I visit daily, the only problem is that most of them are from the US. They make the cutest little things, but tend to use items that I can't find here in Canada! So I'm asking for your help!! Does anyone know if we can buy the little HERSEY'S NUGGETS here in Canada??? And if so, WHERE!!!

Please drop me a comment or email me if you know where I can find these little gems!

Thanks!

I have a COLD!!

Hello everyone,

I've been MIA for the past few days as I came down with a yucky cold. I don't do colds very well! They last forever with me, and make me pretty miserable to be around! Although I have been making things the last few days, I haven't taken any pics :(

I'm going to work on a couple of things, and get them posted to share with you.

Thanks for hanging in while I get a little better, and less miserable! LOL!!

Also, just a quick reminder, if you haven't had a chance, pop on over to my Stampin Up! website and check out the SALEABRATION sale going on now! Look under Promotions, and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!

Take care,

Valentine Treat





Hi there, how's everyone's Valentine shopping going? I try to give a little something to lots of people on Valentine's day, so I start early! Nothing big, just little something sweet and usually a little handmade gift.

This is going to be for the secretary at our school. She's such a wonderful lady, and she just loves all the kids at the school. It's made from 2 cups (I purchased a pkg of them at walmart!) that I decorated with patterned paper, then made this cute little holder for them. I decorated the holder with hearts, stamps, a scallop border and some ribbon. I got the idea for this from Becky Roberts blog at christmas time, and have used it several times already. It's really quite fun to do! I'm gonna fill the cups with little sweets, chocolates etc.

Hope she likes it!

P.S. If you search Becky's blog, she is an amazingly talented lady, and you can find awesome ideas on her site, and she gives lots of instructions too!

If you haven't had a chance yet, don't forget to hop on over to my STAMPIN UP! site (link on the top right of my blog) we have a fabulous sale going on right now you don't want to miss!!!

Take care,
