Let Love Reign

Happy Valentine's Day, family and friends!  Here's a wreath I did for my house.  It was sitting around half finished and everyone wanted to see it when I completed it.  So here it is!  Finally!  I wanted to make an arrow and couldn't find any dowels in my craft room so I went outside (correction - I directed my husband to go outside) and found a great stick.  Then he helped me carve a hole in the styrafoam base.  He advised me to do that prior to decorating next time!  I hope you enjoy my bit of whimsy.

Valentine Treat Bag

I am missing my daughter who is off at college.  I sent her a Valentine care package and this was one of the treats.  I took a mini brown bag and stamped it with Whisper White craft ink with the medallion from the "Lovely Romance" stamp set.  Then I trimmed the top with an Edgelet die to make the fancy scallop, punched a hole in the top and added the tag.  The sentiment is also from the "Lovely Romance" stamp set.  The flower is a stamp from the "Petite Petals" stamp set.   It is filled with chocolate kisses - what else?

Hello Sailor to the Second Power

Here's another variation of the same layout using the "Hello Sailor" stamp set.  I made one as a birthday card and the other as a thank you - you know, 'cause the person figuratively saved my life!

Red, White and Blue Valentine

Here's a new a slightly different Valentine.  I just love the stamp set "Hello Sailor".  Today I am showing you a Valentine take on it.  Tomorrow, I'll post the same layout in different colors with a different theme.  Maybe you'll fall in love with it like I did!
