Belated Valentine

With having been sick for so long, I haven't mailed anything out that I was supposed to all during February... and to all of you, I apologize!  Everything will go in the mail on Monday.

This belated Valentine's Day mailbox will be on it's way to my good Friend Karyn in Ohio - I'm not going to tell you what's in it, but it's so packed full, I had to tie it shut with a ribbon so the lid wouldn't pop off!

I used the Melinda Hugging Heart from the Whiff of Joy stamps colored with prismacolor pencils, glitter on her wings, prima flowers and plenty of rhinestones... I think she turned out just adorable!

Way too long!

I can't believe it has been so long since my last post - I have been sick this whole time and I still have a hacking cough...hopefully that will be gone soon - this is getting old!

I DID make some Valentines items that I never got to posting, so they will come late ... but better late than never... right?

This first one is the card I made my husband.  We always blow kisses to each other when we walk out the door.  The inside says "Muah...whooh!" (sound of blowing a kiss).

He loved it when he opened it :)

I am trying to get a good pic of the altered mailbox I made ... I'll post that later if I can get it to photograph clearly.

Sweethearts

I got a second stamp from The Greeting Farm called Cake Topper which can make a perfect wedding, romance, valentines, anniversary or general love card!

Heck - You could even snip them apart and use them separately! 

I made a romantic little valentine from these two.

Doesn't he just look so dapper in his little suit?

What I used: Prismacolor Pencils, odorless mineral spirits, Prima Flowers, Rhinestones, Heart Doiley from Michael's, Ribbon (Clearanced at Christmas)

A Little Love

This is the last of the cards from the January Make and Take at Dragonflies and Dreams - my Local Stamp Store in Sturtevant, WI.

The stamp is from Stampin' Up and it was colored with Tombow Markers.  The little flower was a punched flower from patterned paper and it was adhered with a tiny silver brad.  The dots on the black were hand done with a white Souffle pen and I'm not real thrilled with them.  I didn't get my spacing or dot size very accurate.

I'm planning on adding some extra bling to this with coordinating glitter on the "o" of Love just to give it that OOooo factor :)

You're a Hoot!

This pair of love birds are just too cute!

The owls and sentiment stamps are by Stampendous - both are from the Ollie and Olivia collection.  The little heart is a stamp by Judith.  Colored with Tombow markers, and the Inkpads are all Colorbox Chalk Inks in Charcoal, Warm Redand Amber Clay.

Here Kitty Kitty!

This adorable kitty is perfect for Valentine's Day, Birthdays, Mother's Day or Just Because!

The stamp is Penny Black - It's Amore.

The coloring was done with Tombow Markers and finished off with Crystal Ice Stickles.
