Part Two Valentine Day Swap with Kathleen

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!

How am I spending my day? I'm going with Emily

for her dress fitting. How romantic for her to be getting

 

in her wedding dress today! 

 

Here are a few more things that Kathleen sent to me.

 

Some heart rosette embellishments, and

 

a mini pocket bag filled with goodies. 

 

 

Love everything she sent, but I'm really ga ga over the coffee cup dies. 

 

Can't wait to play with those. 

 

 

Kissses! 

 

 

 

3x3 note cards. So pretty! 

 

 

Really happy with this grown up Golden Book. 

 

I got her one for Christmas this past year. I didn't know about 

 

the Love one. 

 

 

and here is a heart wall hanging. I'm thrilled with it! 

 

 

Close up view of the shaker mason jar on the hanging. 

 

I'll be back tomorrow with

 

more photos of Emily's wedding dress.

Snowman, and Gingerbread Man Note Cards

While I was going through some stored Cuttlebug folders

I came across a few that were only 2 3/4 x 2 1/4 inches. 

So of course those are the perfect size for 3x3 note cards. 

Since it is so cold out, and snowing I'm still in the mood 

to make Christmas stuff. Never to early for Christmas crafting!

Isn't this little snowman too cute? The only

accent I gave him was the red heart buttons. 

and here is the inside greeting.

The gingerbread folder had to be used on kraft cardstock. 

Used red cardstock for the buttons. The mouth, and eyes added

with a black marker. 

The ric-rack around the arms, and legs were added with a white gel pen. 

Hope these festive cards made you smile! 

Not getting out of the teens today. I'm boarding myself up

in the craft room with a hot cup of tea, and my cat. That

should help keep the cold away.

Happy Birthday 3x3 Gift cards

Back today with two more 3x3 gift cards. 

The little border stamps are perfect for a gift card. 

The little scallop border also came with the stamp set. 

I used Prisma pencils on the elephants on parade card. 

The band of mice was water colored with different shades

of gray. 

Birthday embossing folder is an old one from Cuttlebug. 

I must admit I'm having fun making these little 3x3 cards. 

It was warmer yesterday. Got up to 45 with rain. A lot

of the snow we had started to melt, but with that

comes flooding. Thankfully none in our area. 

We went to the mall just to do some walking, and

there was a very large "lake" going into the Strongsville mall. 

We had to drive through that, but the van can handle it. 

Big thanks to my son John for getting me the Neil Young Archives. 

Been enjoying it. Some of the very early stuff I had never heard before. 

Today I need to hit the post office, and the grocery store. Later

I'll be working on another swap I joined. This one is a coffee sleeve

Valentine pocket. I'll post photos of that when I'm finished.
