Last Minute Valentine Holders

I needed something quick and easy for my third grader's class Valentine holders, and this is what I came up with in about 15 minutes... that's how I roll!   I have a box of 250 of these Kraft bags that I got a few years ago super duper cheap, and I am still finding ways to use them up, so I knew right away that these would be the "holders" of choice.

First, I hand cut a heart (old school folded paper style) out of some leftover Hobby Lobby Christmas tissue paper, that is actually pretty stiff for tissue paper.  I used decoupage to attach it to the bag and give it a little bit of a sturdy base.  Then using my Cricut, I cut out the name in this adorable font (that was totally free*) in black vinyl, and applied it over the heart.  The bow is a strip of cheap black felt that I tied in a knot and glued another hand-cut heart from red felt to the center of.

*The name of the font is called MTF Jumpin Jack, and can be found {here}, at Miss Tiina Fonts.

Cupid's Arrows...$1 covers the entire class, and then some!

I {heart} Target's Dollar Spot for class treats, and this idea is no exception!  I picked up a 35 stick pack of Pixie Sticks for $1, and turned them into Cupid's Arrows using my heart punch!  So fast and easy-- my favorite kind of project :)

Each arrow requires 6 punched hearts.
2 for the point...
 and four (folded in half) for the feathers...
We finished it off by adding a simple greeting with a mailing label.
Happy Valentine's Day!
XOXOXOXOXO

It's Blog Hop Time!


We're so excited to be hopping today with the gang at Ribbon Carousel!
My card features this yummy ribbon...
and my favorite fat turkey from Whimsie Doodles!
I added dimension to the body of the turkey by coloring a second image, cutting it out, and adding 3D dots.  I also added some fun dots and swirls with a white gel pen to make his feathers a little more sassy!  The sentiment was made by me on my computer.

Oh Snap! It's Photo Lizzie!

Good Morning Y'all!
Today I am sharing a card I made using the super cute,  Photo Lizzie image from Whimise Doodles.
I paper pieced her camera and added some dimensional dots to make it stand out a little.  I also used Glossy Accents to make the lenses and flashes on her camera stand out.
I used a combination of Copics and Prisma pencils to color the image.  Here are the colors I used...
Thanks for coming by to visit!  Have a great Monday!

Happy Halloween, Y'all!

Good morning blog world!  
Today I am sharing my project, which as a CD cover that I covered and embellished for a Halloween treat holder.  It features one of the adorable sentiments from the new Halloween Sentiments 2 set from Whimsie Doodles!

I covered the CD cover with flocked paper from My Mind's Eye.. yummy! I printed the sentiment twice, and paper pieced the witch's hat.

I covered the inside, too-- and plan to put a CD of Halloween Party songs on the left, and tuck some candy in the pocket on the right...

Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend!

My project today features my favorite Gator!
Since my littlest one isn't quite old enough for camp like his brother, we adopted Gator (his favorite animal in the whole wide world) as our mascot for Mommy Camp! Here is our river rock collecting bucket that we used while he attended 'Camp Mamawatchi' in Cullowhee, NC!

And here are some of the real ones we saw at Lake Waccamaw, NC, a few weeks ago....they are not nearly as cute as the Whimsie Doodles' version!


Thanks again for stopping by! I will be seeing you again very, very soon :)
