Super Quick Valentine's Day Pages

I've spent a lot of time wrapping shoe boxes today but I did take 30 mins to sit down and scrap a few Valentine's Day Pages.

***You cannot see the "Kiss Blow" of stickles too well in this pic but that is ok because I accidentally stuck my arm in it while I was stitching the heart.  My trick for when this happens (because it happens a lot to me), I grab my Pampered Chef Nylon Pan Scraper and scrape it off quick.  It usually works if the stickles havn't dried but it was on the picture this time and left a little bit of a smudge.*** 

These are all last years Valentine's Day Pics.  We are truly blessed to have a wonderfully talented Preschool teacher.  Not only is she wonderful with the children, she is also a photographer!!  She takes pics of the kiddos every holiday, during fun events/field trips and just doing everyday tasks with them!  She is a scrapbookers dream!!  We absolutely love her!  We often joke that if my family keeps having kids, she can keep ME for a pretty long time.  This is our 3rd year there and as it stands right now, I will have a kid enrolled every year until 2016.  She loves all the crafty ideas I bring to the classroom and I love her pictures.  I think I am making out better on the deal because I get a really good excuse to spend the day crafting and I also get really awesome pictures!!  (For my local friends and family-please call me if you are looking for a photographer for any event or family pictures.  She does fabulous work)

I am submitting these pages for Die Cuttin Divas "Love is in the air" Challenge

Valentine's Day Purses

These little cuties are for some of my crafty friends.  They were made using a tutorial called "Tres Chic Handbags" by Becky Roberts at Inking Idaho.  I added the pucker lips from the Indie Art Cartridge (I just want to put them on everything now)!  

The paper and ribbon are some more of my $0.50 Target treasures (I told you I got a lot of use out of it)!  Some of you had asked for me how I made the baby shower purses posted last month.  Mine are just a simple open ended box and then I look for a purse I like.  I freehand cut the front and back and attach them to the box.  They were really hard to replicate (which is why I made all different bags).  Becky's tutorials are really easy to follow and beautiful once completed.  I recommend you check her out!  I wish I had found her before I had made all my bags!

Kisses

I've been a busy girl!!!  Post number 3 for today.  Can you see that I really missed my computer last week?  I am working my way backwards through challenges from last week.  Here is my submission for the Flaunt it Fridays Challenge .  This weeks challenge was to use the Lips cut from the Indie Art Cartridge.  This is the first time I've used this cart since it was downloaded to my Gypsy and I was really excited to use it! 

You cannot tell from the picture but this is actually a covered small composition book.

I heat embossed the lips to make them look like a shiny pucker!

Stamp is My Creative Time from the Color Me Happy set

Indie Art Cartridge

This pattern paper pack cost me $0.50 last year after Valentine's Day!  It came in a pack 8 sheets from the Dollar Zone and it was on clearance!  Can't pass that up!  I used it for another project that I will probably post later tonight.  After working with these lips, I am adding a little something to it!  Stop back later for my 4th and final post of the day!  I told you I have been a busy girl!
