A Couple Things to Share

I never posted how I packaged Chris's Valentines Day (Friendship) cards. I actually packaged them in cello packs with a lollipop and just stapled the top of the bag shut. I came up with this "idea" 2 hours before he needed them for school. If I would have been on top of it a little better I think I would have used decorative paper toppers.

Anyway, here is how they came out:

I also wanted to share something that Chris got in his Friendship bag. 

I know this is a little plain but I loved the idea of it. One look and I seen all the possibilities and cute stamp sets that I could use to recreate it. And, yes!, I let him have it back after I took the picture.

I keep forgetting!

I keep forgetting to post Chris's Valentines day cards. I used the guidelines that I posted in the "Straight from Me!" challenge to make these cards.

Each card is a little over 4 x 2 inches. I still have the envelopes to make, but that should be the easy part ( I hope ). The big heart is stamped on glossy cardstock and then sponged in Real Red ink.

I ended up making 32 of these cards. Chris will be passing these out to his classmates on Friendship day on February 12th!

Oh and don't forget to check back tomorrow for our blog candy winner, and the new blog candy giveaway!!!

The last three of these cards were actually my favorites. There were plenty more great samples available so if you decide to click on one of the links above please feel free to look at the other great samples.

I am still waiting for my SNAIL to arrive so this samples were kind of a waste to look at right now but they did give me some great ideas.

Join me again tomorrow for the Blog Candy announcement!

Card Heart Card

This card is for Challenge #3 from Late Night Stampers. I actually had enough time to finish it before I went to work so I am able to post it much earlier than I thought I would be able too.

I use the Love You Much bundle with Ruby Red, Real Red and Whisper White Cardstock. I only used Real Red Classic Ink.

I am going to make about 50 of these for my kids to take to school on Valentines Day. So, this challenge gave me what I needed to get started.

Hope you like it!:

Sundays Challenge

SCS does not offer challenges on Sunday so I had to get this challenge straight from Late Night Stampers. So, are you ready to play? If so, here is the challenge:

In honor of Valentine's day...we challenge you to make a HEART shaped CARD, that MUST INCLUDE some form of CANDY!!!

 

It doesn't matter what color, size, etc--it just has to be heart shaped, with candy!!!  And of course, all materials must be current Stampin' Up! only (except for the candy, of course - hehe) 

I wont be able to get to this challenge, or any others until Thursday. But, if decide to take on this challenge please feel free to send me a link to your picture.

Also, today I am adding a link to all the other challenges that I have posted so far to the SCS albums that show case the projects all ready submitted! Take a look!!!

My Challenge Results: SC211 and LSC202

I have been really behind on challenges lately. I was planning on getting caught up yesterday but I am still not feeling well, and yesterday was just a bad day.

I made this card using just a few supplies. I used Real Red, Whisper White and Ruby Red cardstock, Real Red Classic Ink, and the Love You Much Bundle Kit.

I am still behind by one old challenge and one new challenge (that I will post in a minute or two). As soon as I get those done I will post them with the recipe. I will also post two new challenges at the end of this week. One on Thursday and one on Friday.

Please feel free to play along, and if you do, please send me a link to your post!
