Just trying to get caught up on posting some of my recent projects. These are my Valentine's Day projects. The little bags on the left were for Owen to give out to his friends and the paint cans were for his teachers. They were both filled with Hershey Kisses. The Stamps and labels were made with Taylored Expressions "A Little Love" stamp set and Favor Frame die. I also purchased sticker paper to die cut so I could stick them on like labels. The red paper and ribbon are from Michael's. As you can see I forgot to take pictures at home and ending up doing it in the car before I dropped them off at school. I hope they liked them.

Tea Time Birthday Gift

This was a gift and matching card for my friend Cheryl. The cardstock is Stampin Up. The patterned paper is from Basic Grey's "nook and pantry". The tea stamps are from "A Sip" from Close To My Heart. The little cup on the card is H&M Stamps "coffee's a brewin". The buttons and ribbons are from Michaels. The little box holds various different tea bags. The idea came from two fellow Close to My Heart Consultants - Vicki Wizniuk - wizardshangout.blogspot.com and Kelly Lunceford - flutterbyatomicbutterfly.blogspot.com.

Birthday Cards

A couple of new cards for my friends at work. The one on the left was made with H & M Stamps Coffee's a brewin and the one on the right is a single cupcake stamp from Hampton Arts. Both have the designer paper from Basic Grey "nook and pantry". I love these papers. The cardstock is both Stampin Up and Close to my Heart. The brown ribbon is from Michaels and the red is from Stampin Up. The ink is Ranger Black soot and Expresso. Both images are colored with Copics. Next I have to start thinking about Valentine's projects for Owen's friends at school. He likes to buy character Valentine's so I usually make lollipop holders or some other treat thing for him to pass out with his valentines. I almost forgot, the dies are Spellbinders and Papertrey Ink. I love how a lot of the stamp comanies are making dies now to coordinate with their stamps. It is really helpful to come up with ideas for projects.

Finally, a blog post. These are little gifts I made for my family and friends this year for Christmas. I got the idea from Debbie Olsen. She used apple cider packets. I couldn't find those so I used hot chocolate packets instead. The stamps used are Papertrey Ink Tiny Treats: Christmas along with the die Mat Stack 1. The ink, buttons and ribbon are just random items from Stampin Up, Adirondack, Close to my Heart and Michaels.

Halloween Projects

All of these items were made with the Hooligans Workshop on the Go from Close to my Heart. There are candy holders with wrapped hershey nuggets, little purses holding candy corn, lip balm holders and holders for Bath and Body Works anti-bacterial gel. The ink colors used are Lagoon, Pear, Gypsy, and Sunset, all from Close to my Heart. The stamp sets are The Boo Crew and Troublemaker. I also used my Cricut to cut out the little purses and gift bags. These were really fun to make but took a lot of time.

Finally getting around to getting some things posted. This was from this summer for my nephew Oliver's first birthday. All of the paper supplies are from the Close to my Heart "Everyday Celebration" kit. The ink colors are Chocolate and Dutch Blue. I have made a ton of stuff but never seem to get around to posting it all. I am going to try to be better at that. I have a lot of Halloween projects to get photographed then I will post those too.
