Happy Valentine's Day!

Hey guys!

Today I'm sharing with you some of my Valentine's projects... OK, all of my Valentine's projects! I tell ya, it's feast or famine around here, and lately it's been pretty famished!

In an effort to keep my family sane during the blizzard over the weekend, we got ready for Valentine's Day. I went out to Michael's and bought a little Valentine mailbag kit and we all made our ow nmailbag and valentine's for each other. Even Jimmy and little Sean got into the action!


Notice the clicker and Cheez-Its are always close at hand!


Here are our mailbags:


I mentioned in my post earlier this week that I was completely underwhelmed with what I made for the kids' friends. I usually don't put a lot of 'stuff' into what I make for the kids to pass out to their friends, but for some reason this year, I had absolutely no mojo for these projects and it's completely evident.

For CJ's friends, I got some pencils from the Target Dollar Spot and made little flags for them. I used the Owl Together Now set, since it's my only set that's even remotely Valentiney.


I think I would have liked them better if I used a border punch around the edges and a background stamp for the red card stock. Alas, there's always next year!

Recipe:
Stamps: Owl Together Now, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Basic Black; Real Red, Blush Blossom, Close to Cocoa, and Apricot Appeal markers
Paper: Real Red, Basic Black, and Whisper White

For Sean's classmates, I decorated the top of a baggie of York Peppermint Patties. I was really disappointed when I opened the bag when I got home to find that they changed the packaging! It totally messed with my original idea!


Recipe:
Stamps: Love Bugs
Ink: Chocolate Chip; Real Red, Perfect Plum, Apricot Appeal, Bashful Blue, and Pretty in Pink markers
Paper: Real Red, Pretty in Pink, and Whisper White
Accessories: Wide Oval, Scalloped Oval, and Scallop Trim boarder punches; cellophane bag

May your Valentine's Day be full of peace and love.
