I heart you

Here's a little card I made for my daughters to pass out on Valentine's Day. The cards are 3 X 4.25. Perfect for holding a miniature bag of M & M's or Skittles. Since I need 45 of them I wanted to make something that wouldn't take much effort. Besides I used the scraps from the coordinating scrapbook page kit I put together for Alyssa's school activity. Each child was instructed to bring a 4 X 6 photo so everyone should leave with one completed scrapbook page. I wanted the kids to make something that they could bring home to mom and dad. I'll share the layout in my next post. I still have to add embellishments to the page kits and I need to put a couple of them together for examples. I'm a little nervous since its the first school activity I signed up for.

Here's my favorite little monkey Chantigo playing golf. I found this great patterned paper from Adornit. I love the bright and cheery colors. The golf ball was part of the pattern on the paper. I just cut it out using my large SU circle punch.

Chantigo Bouquet

Here's a quick card with my favorite monkey Chantigo. I'm still looking for the right sentiment to pair it with. I may have to be creative and print one out on the computer.

Fluffles Halloween

I know its a little early for Halloween type projects but since the candy has already hit the stores I thought why not. Besides Halloween is my favorite holiday. The image is from Stampendous and is part of the Fluffles collection. You should see the new stamps they just released. They will definitely put you in the mood for Halloween and Christmas.

Time for Chantigo

Do you have stamps that you to buy only to find them on the bottom of the bin, uninked? Here's two of mine.

I have to say that I did find the tire swing stamp a little challenging. Its not that easy to color a tire. I guess that's why I ended up stamping it on a blackish/grayish marble scrap of paper instead. I picked up the paper at a local rummage sale. It was one of those mystery grab bags. One that was disappointing to open at the time. Of course I hung onto its contents with the well you never know philosopy. I suppose if you wait long enough you'll find a use for it. I covered the thank u sentiment in the flowers center with a button.
