Valentine & More monster High

Made this quick little valentine for my grandson's little girlfriend who loves Hello Kitty, I think it turned out really cute and he is so excited to give it to her.

This is the envelope that I designed for Lylli's Monster High Invitations.  tfl

Valentines

I made several items for Valentines day, even a gift for myself! :)
First off, I found the most incredible site called "Made by Julene" Julene is a British artist who does the most amazing and intricate paper cutting that I have ever seen!  I fell in love with so many of her designs and wondered what they would look like in vinyl so I emailed her and asked her permission to be able to convert some of her art into scalable vector graphics just to use for my own personal use and for the occasional gifts.  She was very gracious and granted me permission to do so!  Yay, I had to try one out right away!  LOL the less intricate of the bunch, and it still took me a while to weed, but I love how it turned out and will add it to my seasonal valentines decorations.  It turned out so pretty, but my darn flash is just so bright! :(  maybe next time I will photograph it without the glass in it to cut down on the glare.

the next project was a heart flap box that I got from the Scrapping Table.  It is just very simple but cute and I will give it to my dad filled with Hershey's Kisses.

the last project I undertook this evening, was these cute little matchbook notepads that I made to put into my valentines cards for my friends.  The pattern came from My Scrap Chick.  TFL and I hope you all have a very wonderful, Happy Valentines Day!

My grandkids and I did their classroom valentines today.  They turned out pretty cute, all that is left to do is to put the tags on Lylli's rings.  The rings were made with pipe cleaners and Hershey's Kisses.  The boy's will say, "Happy Valentines, here is a sweet ring fit for a King" and the girls will say the same except for Queen at the end :)
Coby's valentines were the most time consuming, the back was printed image and the front side robot bodies are made from assorted Hershey mini candy bars and the heads are made with assorted starbursts, giving them some interesting pops of color! :) lol tfl

Valentine Gift for Teachers

My grandkids are really into doing crafts with their Grammy...so I told them they could each make their own valentines present for their teachers.  We decided to try a cool project that I saw somewhere online but can't really remember where at the moment :( sorry ....anyway, we used alcohol inks, a can lid, a 2 inch strip of glossy photo paper, some sheer ribbon, glue tape and a 3 inch red pillar candle.  These are how they turned out...tfl

Candy Jars

Made these for an upcoming craftshow, thought the devil one's might make a nice guy gift. Will fill them with Hot Tamales and Red Hots, will probably fill the rose heart with candy hearts.

In case you can't read them, the sayings on the backs of the two smaller jars say, "You bring out the DEVIL in me!" and "Love is in bloom". TFL

Valentine Hershey Bars

Bryan over at" Scrapguy's Paper Crafting Adventures" was recently featured on "Everyday Cricut" with these super easy and very adorable chocolate bars. This is my version of the Hershey bars, it was fun, easy and best of all FAST! :) TLF
