Valentines

Valentines kinda snuck up on me this year.  Monday night (Feb 13) at 9:30pm, my little girl said,
"Mom, I need valentines for my class."
 Holy Cow! I thought.... how did I completely let this slip through my hands.
A little (and I do mean small and dim) light bulb went off in my head.  I had made some small valentines for a craft fair that I did in January.  Not all of the sets sold, so I went hunting through my stash.  Sure enough, I was in luck!  I had two packs left of 24 each.  It is a good thing I had two, because my daughters class has 38 people.  The packs were not the same Valentines Cards, but that also worked in my favor.  One was more girl-y, the other was more boy-ee.  I happened to have a bag of individually wrapped life-savers.  So that is what was taped on the back of each valentine.

Any whooo.  Here they are.

The cards are quite simple, measuring about 2.5 X 3.5.

I inked the edges, and stamped the images in the middle.
The crowns have a dot of glitter glue to give some bling. 
The frog is inked with kalida-color inks to give it some vibrancy.  The little heart has some teal glitter glue in the middle.  A little sparkle never hurt anyone.





I liked the simplicity of the cards, and that they still had color.

What to do with Altered Dominoes?

Ok, so you saw the fun tutorial on altering your own dominoes.
If not, click on the link and get started!
You did all of the hard work.  Now What!

What can you do with those dominoes that have been cutified!

Here are a few of my thoughts.

I like to use them in making hair accessories.  Check out these little beauties!

Both of these sold at a recent show I did.  The green one was used a broach, because I put a large alligator clip on the back.

Here are a few more things that I made.  These are a twin set of hair clips.

And this one is on the front of a card.  The dominoes can also be put on the front of an album.  

These rummy tiles were made by my sister.  The same principals apply to make the dominoes into jewelry!
 

 Have fun and send me a picture or a note with what you did!

Have a fabulous day!!

My House of Love - Mini album

Just thought I would share a little album.  I was not able to show all of the pages on my online store, but I wanted to share the whole thing. It is ready for memories to be added.
It is the perfect little Pink and Black mini.  

This has been glitterfied!  The whole house is pink glitter.
The binding is book rings with lots of bits of lace and ribbon.

 The edge has tabs to make page flipping fun and easy.

 

The selection of the papers is quite whimsical and light hearted.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it!
