You've Got {heart} Mail...

..just another Target Dollar Spot mailbox. Love these for Valentines.. 

I know.  We see these cute little boxes every year.  You really can't go wrong for a $1. They are so easy to alter... and perfect when you need a little something fast.

To decorate the box simply cut a piece of designer paper measuring 4x12 and adhere with sticky tape.  Decorate the front and back with what you like, add embellishments and fill with a yummy treat or gift card or both.  Perfect for your sweetheart or a Valentine for your child's teacher. 

ps.  Our Target had these mailboxes in pink, red, and white this year - woot!

HEART BASKET...

I made this card for this month's Fan Club design inspiration challenge over on SCS. Here is the inspiration piece.  I especially love the gingham.  In case you didn't know, gingham anything is my fave.  I would use black & white gingham ribbon on every project if I could.  I love it that much!

 A couple of days ago, I printed out this Heart Basket digital stamp by Hambo.  Excited that February and all things red, pink and white are just around the corner. Valentine's Day is one of those holidays that usually creeps up on me.  Hopefully this year I'll be ahead of the game in making all of the Valentines for my children's classmates and teachers as well as my own students.  It is especially nice to have the ability to buy a digital image when you are pinched for time.  I'll have few more projects to share in the coming weeks. 

I used my aquapainter and inks to color the image, then added some stickles around the edge of each heart.

Thanks for stopping by.  Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.

VALENTINES...

I made several of these candy filled bags for my kid's teachers and their bus driver. I think they are cute as can be and easy peasy to make with the big shot. The little bee is from Inkadinkado and just perfect since the school mascot is a bee. I took pics of the front and the back since they are both so cute.

Next up is the little Valentine I made for my students. They will go in a glassine bag with a lolly attached to the front.

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful weekend with the people you love.

VALENTINE FLOWER POT SUCKER

I made this for today's WT Challenge - to use patterned paper. I have been wanting to make one of these cute little flower pot suckers since I saw them around the gallery last summer. This will be the Valentine that I make for my kids to give their classmates. They are fairly simple to make, and I think they can be easily mass produced. I used two different pieces of patterned paper called Berry Sweet by K&Company. I followed the flower pot directions from Dawn Olchefske's blog. Instead of using a puched out flower, I made a scalloped flower from dsp using directions I found on Chat's blog. I bought the Valentine suckers at the Dollar Tree - sweet!Thanks for looking!
