On the 13th day of February my true love gave to me.....a pink cupcake boquet!

Ok...so I know I don't normally venture to far away from paper crafting but this I just HAD to share! 

This is a special valentine that my little one and I made for his  Pre School Teacher!
And I think it turned out just as sweet as she is!



If you want to do this you still have time!  We started out with a small clay flower pot that my son and I painted together!  Great Family Time!  We knew we needed treats for his class anyway so we decided to double up on cupcake duty............so we made cupcakes and Buttercream frosting and used a star tip to frost the little sweeties ;)

We used flower arrangement styrofoam inside the pot and with skewers attached our cupcakes to our arrangement and then added flowers throughout to fill in the space!

Top this off with a nice pink ribbon and you have one SWEET boquet!



Here is a photo of our completely finished goodie tray of valentines gifts for his class party!  Hope everyone likes them tomorrow! and I hope you liked them too!



XOXO,
  Mickie

The 12th day of February my true love gave to me.........another day of blog hopping!

Welcome my friends to the Red, Black, Pink, and White Delight Blog Hop....what great colors to work with and to design a Valentine's Day card or layout for a loved one, a friend, child, or just because!!! What this hop will help you with today is showcasing these colors and what can be made to help give you inspiration...!!!!!

If you just happened to be visiting me today, I'm glad that you are visiting but I wouldn't want you to miss one single stop along the way with our hop and would love for you to begin at the beginning which would be Lisa at http://handmadewithlove-lisa.blogspot.com/. If you arrived from http://scrappinginheels.blogspot.com/ then you are on the right path along our splash of color.


As promised another day! Another Creation! So today my little one and I worked the day away on these cute little valentine gifts for his class!  There are Pink ones for the Girls and Blue for the Boys.............And I made these using the sweetheart retired paper and  the Awesome New SuperHero Paper from close to my heart!  If you havn't seen it yet you have got to check it out!  It is the Most Fun!







Now if you have a fun Valentine's Party coming up and you want to make these little cuties this will be the most simple you've made!  I googled my sentiment that I wanted to say to get some ideas and found this on free printables!  Well it was already a card and you just had to print but of course that just would be to easy! And that won't do! LOL

So I printed it off and cut it out in the design I wanted and then attached it to my coordinating Paper I wanted to use........and trimmed those pieces to about a 4x4..............I Bagged up my s'more goodies.........one white and one pink heart marshmallow for everyone! And then I stapled My card with instructions to my baggie of yummo! and ;there you have it!  The gift of S'mores!  Love them!

Hope you liked it and and make sure you come back tomorrow!  I have an awesome project you won't want to miss!  So see you then!

Is this not the cutest little party planner You've ever seen?  I used some CTMH Papers......all retired but you can still get similar ones!

Calling All Hearts!

Calling all hearts that are "Close to my Heart!"
Get it?  LOL

Ok..all jokes aside now.........here is another inspiration for you!!!  Because why?  It's Day three of February and I promised you one creation a day!

This page feels a bit undone to me.....You see I really want to use my black tape labeler for the labels on this page but I can not find it ANY WHERE!  So I decided instead of using something I knew I wasn't going to like as well I thought I would wait and finish when I find it.........so imagine if you will that there will be black tag scentiments through out!


So I started this page with plain white Cardstock....I really wanted to represent Clean Lines.....like love is pure :)

And my first vision was with Pink stitching but of course I could not find my Pink embroideries so I opted for Black which really gave it a nice contrast....don't you think?
 To help with my Sticthing I used my Handy Dandy Piercing tools! 

Don't leave home with out them!  And your edge distresser! LOL

For all of my distressing I still wanted it to look "clean" So I used my distresser but chose not to use any inks what so ever!  I know its risky! LOL





 I added a 3 inch strip of patterned paper...something dark....I used paper from the sweetheart collection! 

I used lighter patterned paper for the 4x6 photo....I used a 5x7 size piece so there will be plenty of boarder around the edges...but I might opt for a bigger photo too :)

Then I used the Cricut to cut the hearts......from three coordinating Sweetheart Papers and viola!

A very Simple Easy and Quick Project for your Valentines Pics!


Stop back and see what I have for you tomorrow :)

I almost forgot that I will have a drawing at the end of the Month!  The Person who has left me the most comments this month........which I love to read -- Will win this giveaway........and if there is not a clear winner, then we will draw for a winner!  So show me some love!



XOXO *´¨)

I'm Sweet On you!

I'm Sweet on You!!!!!!

Well if you are back for more today then you must have heard that February is a big month around here!!!  My Birthday, My Anniversary, and Valentines day!!!!  Woo Hoo!

So as promised during the month of February I will post a new creation for you EVERY single day!  That's right!  I said EVERY day!

Also I will be doing some fun contests and challenges, drawings, and sweet specials!!!

YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS A THING!!



If you were here yesterday, then you got in on my first creations of the month!  If not you'll find that post below!

Now let's kick this thing off right!  Since it is the month of love how about a 6x6 Valentines day card that is so Pink and so Sweet....that it give you a toothache?? LOL......

I used paper from the That's Amore Collection which is now retired however another super sweet paper that would work for projects like these is The Sweetheart Collection which is now a SPEACIAL price at $3.00!!!

Start with a 6 x 12 piece of off white paper....if you are using the Sweet Heart Collection it would be your white daisy cardstock :)

Use your bone folder to really crease the seam of your card making a 6 x 6 card

Then take a darker pink shade of cardstock......I used Tulip and trim it to a 5 x 5

For the scalloped edging I used a corner rounder.................Corner Rounder Secret...take the corner edge off of your corner rounder to make semi circle punches!

Tack that to your card face right in the center.

Next take a lighter shade  B&T Duos®  and trim it to a 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 and distress the edges before tacking it on....I used Tulip ink for all of my distressing on this project.

The lacy heart print is on Tulip cardstock and cut using my Cricut Expression and Home Decor Cricut Cartridge......which is a pretty basic cartridge and probably if you have a cricut you have this cartridge :)  Be careful removing this from your mat as it is fragile.....

The cupcake is a pattern from Little Scraps Of Heaven.......I cut this with my cricut as well using the same coordinating papers and then colored the frosting with Glitz Gel.

I topped it off with a sparkle on the heart, and a tag with the Sentiment....Sweet on You!  The tag came from My Stickease Amore...........but any tag would work!

Now if you want to make this cutie............but do not have access to a cricut fear not! 
 Contact Me for a pre cut kit! $5.00

Ok....that's all I have for today but stop back tomorrow for some thing new!  New Creation, New How too, New fun!!

And since it is the month of love.......feel free to show me some!


XOXO *´¨)
