Here are the Valentine cards that my girls made to give to their classmates today.
Rachel wanted to give Kit Kats and she chose to put them on a square of Real Red card stock.
Emily gave SweetTart suckers that she threaded onto a heart made with the biggest scallop heart from the Hearts Collection Framelit Dies. We punched the holes with the Crop-a-Dile.

When you were a kid, what was your favorite candy to get on Valentine's Day?
I was going through my Leadership pictures for ideas and came across these cutie-patooties.
They were all made using the Build-A-Bear Workshop Bear Die by Stampin' Up!
Seriously, how cute are these? Here's a few close-ups of my favorites...
Lots of them also use the Beary Essentials Die along with other punches, stamps and embellishments.

No stamping for me today, but I did get to attend my daughter's Class Concert. There is a reason I don't scrapbook and it's because I can not take good photos!
They looked like they were having a great time! My mom said that many of the songs were ones that she sang when she was in second grade. Oldies, but goodies! :)
Rachel insisted on getting all dressed up for the occasion and she looked so grown up! She got a good laugh from the audience when she delivered her line: "My parents say they had to walk to school - and it was uphill both ways!"
It's the "law" at our house that we go to Culvers after school concerts, so we did.
And the only decent picture I took today was of this silly face. Go figure!
Have a great weekend... hope it's full of crafting!!
You know I love it when you share the things that you are making! These Christmas M&M treat bags were made by Norma Dusing.

Here's a quick card that I made with this fun set...

This morning I pulled out my favorite birthday stamp set and my Celebrations paper to create this card that we'll be making at my Stampin' Up! workshop on Saturday.
Stamps: Party Hearty stamp set *RETIRING*
Ink: Pacific Point and Real Red Classic Pads
Paper: Whisper White, Pacific Point & Real Red,
Celebrations Designer Series Paper *RETIRING*
Accessories: 3/4" Circle Punch, Dimensionals
Have you checked out the Last Chance Lists yet? I knew that most of the Designer Series Papers would be going, but I'm still so sad that I won't be able to keep getting my favorites! Last Chance accessories are only available while supplies last, so shop now while you have the chance.
My friend Noel dropped by yesterday with a little gift for me... the Take a Spin stamp set! I had planned to borrow her set, but she surprised me with my very own. Thanks Noel!
This morning I had a little time to stamp while Emily was at preschool, so I made this card. It was definitely the EASIEST spinner card I've ever made. Other "spinner" cards involve pennies and moving parts. This one uses an actual Game Spinner. So much easier!
Just poke a hole in the center of the circle with the paper piercing tool, layer the spinner hand, then the washer and secure with a brad. Easy!
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Take a Spin stamp set
Ink: Real Red and Pacific Point Classic Stampin' Pads
Paper: Whisper White, Real Red and Pacific Point card stock; Celebrations designer series paper
Accessories: Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, 2-1/2" Circle Punch, paper piercing tool, Game Spinner Hands, dimensionals, bone folder, SNAIL adhesive, Paper Snips
Reminder: The Take a Spin stamp set and other items in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog are only available until this Saturday, April 30. Don't wait... SHOP NOW!
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! My favorite Dr. Seuss book is I can Read with My Eyes Shut!
Here's my favorite part:
"The more that you read,
the more things you will know.
The more that you learn,
the more places you'll go."
So true!
Children's books are a great place to find color combinations for your cards. For instance, after looking at this book cover you might come up with the following combination: Whisper White, Real Red, Wild Wasabi and Daffodil Delight. Give it a try!
What's your favorite Dr. Seuss book? Look at the cover. What color combination can you come up with? Leave a comment and let us know.
I made this card last summer, but couldn't remember if I had shared it with you. LOVE the Make a Moster stamp set... it's fun for kids and adults!
Stamps: Make a Monster stamp set
Ink: Old Olive, Real Red and Pumpkin Pie Classic Pads
Card stock: Whisper White, Old Olive, Real Red and Pumpkin Pie
Accessories: Big Shot, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Stampin' Dimensionals
The Real Red card stock is ONE piece of card stock that I only inserted half way into the embossing folder. The Pumpkin Pie card stock covers the seam nicely.
