Valentine's Day is OVER!!

Hello All!

Well, I made it through Valentine's Day. Don't get me wrong I LOVE V-day. But, with 4kids in school, it CRAZY all V-Day week! Even my oldest, who is in 6th grade, just HAD to take in treats this year. I wonder if she will still feel that way next year? Anywho, I have been stamping, I just haven't had time to post. But, here is a little of what has been going on...

I love, love, LOVE the new Flower Punch from Stampin' Up! I am really enjoying the new design of the punches, and it is much easier on my hands. My cards for today have been inspired by cards that I have seen perusing magazines, and other blogs. I also wanted to get in the spirit of spring and summer, and get some bright colors rolling!



I really love the 'buttons' on this card. I made them using my 1 inch circle punch, and my crop-a-dile. A little time consuming, but I really like the end result.



Did I mention that I love the new flower punch? I love it. A Lot.


When I punch my flowers, I like to punch two and layer them, to make them even more sturdy. I also sponge the edges in the same color as the cardstock to give them more depth. I also did the same with the buttons.

Well, that's all for today! If you have any questions, please let me know. Have a FANTASTIC day! :)

Favor bags are done!

Well, I finally finished them! I don't know why it took me a week to do these. Usually I can knock a project like this out in a day or two. Ah well. Here are the 'Little Avas' in action!



There are actually 15 bags in total. 5 of each color. I just thought this made a better picture! ;)


And, this is what is in the bags!

What I have been working on...

Well, it has been really busy for me lately, but I have been fitting in a few projects here and there. Right now, I am working on things for my daughter's 5th b-day party! I came across an idea on Splitcoast that I changed up a little bit, and I think they are going to be used on the favor bags:



I call them my 'Little Avas'. Her party is going to have a Luau theme, so these are my tiny versions of her. She is in love with them!

I also made these little guys. I'm not sure what I am going to do with them yet, but I will find a purpose!


Both of these projects have been really fun to make, once you get past all the cutting and punching! I'm sure I will find many projects to use them for, they are just too cute. Have a great day!! :)
