Card Candy Valentine

This has been a great weekend. I've been scrapbooking, cardmaking and papercrafting. I used new paper collections from the Spring / Summer 2012 Close To My Heart Idea Book that debuted February 1. I'm also working on Valentine's Day projects.

Today I'm going to share a new template I purchased from My Time Made Easy called Card Candy. This project uses stickers from an old Close To My Heart card kit. I love the idea of having a cards that is a box for treats. I don't have Valentine's Day candy so leftover Christmas candy is pictured. I made this quickly just to get an idea of what it's like. I think it's a work in progress. I have six students and think I might make them to give. I usually do not give them candy so I need to keep out the party favor aisle for other ideas.

Hershey Kiss Box for my Roomie!

I just found this blog that sells pdf and svg files. I thought the Hershey kiss box was adorable, and so easy to make since I can cut svg files with Sure Cuts A Lot and my Cricut. Today is my Convention roomie's birthday. Happy birthday Jolene! This box and card is on it's way!

Simple Embellishments

This card was inspired by Day 6 of Clean and Simple Cardmaking. The folded flower embellishment is simple to make and really makes a statement. I've been keeping up with the tutorials in this class all week and am looking forward to the weekend to try more of the designs and techniques.




Supplies:
White Gel Pen

Rock the Block

This weekend I (finally) completed the Rock the Block project. This is a Papercrafting Month special offered by Close To My Heart. Thanks to Jolene and Nancy, CTMH friends and consultants, for a day of crafting where I found the inspiration to get it done!












I decided to use family photos for my project, but check out another use at Stephanie's blog. I have another set and a fellow consultant came up with an idea of how to create a game to use in a classroom or with your children. Hopefully I'll get that completed next week!

Supplies:
