Valentine's Treats

Life has been crazy!!! Work, church and two sick kids have not allowed me a lot of cricut time. I finally got the chance to play this week. The staff at my school drew names for secret valentine's. This is one of the treats I took this week. It turned out so cute I made another for my son's first grade teacher.
Sorry the photos aren't very good. I was taking a quick pic before heading out the door!

This one is the pillow box from the Easter 2010 cart. I think it was cut at 10 inches. I drug it out on Design Studio until it was the size I wanted. It has a cut out of an Easter Bunny on top, so I used the hide contour feature so it would not cut. I cut the box out of white cardstock and again out of the red valentine paper which is from the Paper Studio All Seasons stack. I trimmed the heart paper to just cover the top. (That's when I got the idea to make another one since I had the other half left!) The big heart on top was from Doodlecharms cut at 3 inches. I stamped it with a sentiment from Stampendous Changito clear valentine stamps. It says, "Sending you a big hug!" I cut another heart at 11/2 inches using the charm feature to make the tag with the to and from on it. I made one of these for my secret valentine at school and the one in the photo for my son's first grade teacher. I filled it with valentine M&Ms. Hope you enjoy!

Welcome to my new blog!!

Welcome to my new blog!! I've taken the plunge and I'm a little nervous! I have become addicted to paper crafting in the last year especially with my cricut. I hope this blog will challenge me to create and hopefully share some inspiration with you. I love scrapping my amazing boys, and making cards. I also hope to share how I use my cricut in my classroom, as well as to teach my boys at home. I have been working on my classroom this week so instead of a new creation, I will post an old one! I made this card for a friend who's life is a little hectic right now. All of the paper is from a 180 stack from Paper Studio at Hobby Lobby. The stamp is Changito Coffe by Stampendous and the saying is Two Cup Day. The bunny slippers is also by Stampendous. The picture is hard to see, but the green contrast is embossed with my cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. I used skittles and flowers from Plantain Schoolbook for accents. Please leave your comments. I'm working on my photography!! Hope you enjoyed it!!
