Valentine Workshop

Ok here are two of the three projects that I am offering for my Valentine's workshop this month.

Project 1: A 12x12 two page layout. This is an easy project to assemble. There is no stamping necessary so if you are unable to make the workshop or don't have time to come and make all the projects this is a great one to take home and put together on your own. Cost $8 

Please note that the colors on these pictures are a bit off, the pink is darker than shown.

 left hand page you can put in one photo or two like I did.

Right hand page (my pictures are a little busy but hopefully you get the idea of how the layout works)

There is a hidden journal slide behind the picture where you can put your journaling.

Project 2: A mailbox. This project is really cute! This makes a great gift for that special someone in your life, your kids, you kids teacher, your boss or your coworkers. Once you have come and assembled this project the options are endless that you can do with it. You can use it to hold valentine cards, fill it with candy as a gift or anything else that you can imagine up. $3 This is a great opportunity to learn how to make the paper flowers from the cricut cartridge.

(The mailbox opens on both ends)

Project 3: 3 Valentine Cards. Need that special card for someone special? This is your opportunity to make a special handmade valentine card that won't look like everyone else's and looks like you went the extra mile to make the recipient feel like they are special. $5

Cricut and Wishblade Dust covers

So I have ventured into a new crafty item. I have decided to try my hand at making covers for my Cricut and my Wishblade. I actually think they turned out pretty good. I definitely like the Cricut ones the most. So I will be selling some of the Cricut ones at my Holiday boutique on December 3, you will have to stop by and take a look!

Here are some photos:

This is my wishblade cover

This one is lined with pink flannel

This one is also for my wishblade so I can have it match my cricut

This one is lined in black

This is the cricut cover

You can't really see this well but I put a pocket on the side for my blades and gypsy cord

This is lined with black as well.

I am off to make more in different patterns. Can't wait to see how they turn out!!!
