Valentines

  Good morning!!

Today's project is a Ghirardelli Chocolate holder & I make it every year for Valentines. I'm not sure why I do that….I guess I'm a creature of habit 🙂 It would probably would make a darling Halloween Treat.

I used the Love Owl-ways stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog & I was kicking myself for using Pink Pirouette and Close to Cocoa again….but I swear I tried to use another color and I just couldn't do it.  So, as soon as Valentine Day passes…I'll stop using Pink & Cocoa :)))

If you'd like to see how to make a Ghirardelli Chocolate Holder click here to watch last years video.  Just promise me you won't laugh at how slow I was talking….those were the days when I filmed videos on my bathroom vanity.

Here's some exciting news….I have a Search box on my blog….if you go over to the left side and type in Ghirardelli Chocolate Holder…in the Google Search box, it will bring up all my links…then you just click on the one you want.  I can't tell you how many times someone has ask me where something is and I can't find it.  A customer suggested to me that I get a search box ….it took me a while but it was worth the wait…..&… it will search all three of my blogs. 

One quick reminder…today is the last day to order the Holiday Collection Kit or the Holiday Collection stamp set.

Happy New Years Eve!!

Good morning!

Today's project is the same candy holder I shared with you yesterday…..except I made it into a card (you could even make it into a gift card holder…remember the one I made last week?)

And… I have a video available on my Stampin' Academy.  Click here  to watch the video on how to make a M&M candy holder (or Sweet Tarts & Bottle caps).

I have a few items that I've made and they are super cute….but….I have to wait to show you next week. I'm in some specials swaps at Leadership and I want to keep them secret until I'm there.  So, next week when I'm gone…you'll get to see what I'm passing out. 

Have a great day!

Good morning!

Todays' project will hold a treat size bag of M&M's, Sweet Tarts or Bottle caps. And, if you're looking for those items…you can find them in the Valentine candy isle at Wal-Mart 🙂

I used the Happy Heart Day stamp set (it's still available & on the Dormant List…item # 111089 for $20.95).  I used Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red & Shimmery White Cardstock.  To color the image I used a combo of Markers, Blender Pen & Aqua Painter.  (Don't look real close you'll see I messed up coloring..oops…that's what happens when you're in a hurry.) 

Now for another one….   

Don't you love those birds?  It's another darling image from the Love you much stamp set…..& the hearts you see in the background are also part of that set.

Have a great day!

  Hi,

I couldn't resist making something today using the Love you Much stamp set.  This project is just like the Valentines Nerds I made last year. Click here  to view it…..but don't laugh, that was one of my earlier videos and I taught myself everything I know…. about making videos….a lot of trial and error I might add!

The measurements are the same…only difference is I turned it the other direction.  I wanted to use the actual Love you much stamp on my project and turned the other way was very tight so I switched it around.

 I'm not sure if I'll get a chance to post tomorrow….although I'm done with Christmas shopping… and I made Gumbo most of the day today….we may spend the whole day doing family stuff (Brooke & I are voting going to the book store…if not we'll settle for the movies).

Have a Safe & Merry Christmas!!
