Hello Fellow Stampers ~
Well, this post is coming a little late today. I had HOA duties last evening, and quite the day at work yesterday (well, really the whole week); and I was so tired last night after I got home from the board meeting. So I just couldn't get this finished up to post up on time like I wanted. I hope you all don't mind. It can be difficult to keep up with everything around here!! It has worked out for the best though, as I was able to put a little more thought into my little project overnight, and make some tweaks. That happens!! LOL I'll do something, and then think about it for awhile, and dream about it overnight, and in the morning, everything can change.
Speaking of morning!! I just had to share the beautiful sight I enjoyed on the way into work this morning. We had an interesting "frost" overnight; not really snow, but this beautiful frost that overlaid absolutely everything - even the sides of the fences. Everything just sparkled and danced in the morning sunlight. It was absolutely breathtaking; like God picked up handfuls of Dazzling Diamonds and just sprinkled them everywhere. It was gorgeous and I wish all of you could have been with me on the drive into work this morning :-)
This coming Saturday is my Valentine's themed class and I thought you might enjoy getting a sneak peak of a few of the fun goodies the group will be making. I think one of the fun aspects of Valentine's is just leaving little treats or notes for friends and loved ones. These little projects are quick and easy and work perfectly for just that purpose! This little gift set is so much fun. The little 3"x3"x3" Clear Mini Treat Boxes are one of my favorite little packaging solutions. I love how you can see the cute treats inside, and how you can decorate these boxes in so many different ways. The Mini Treat Bag is absolutely perfect for a simple notecard to slide inside with a special message. It's the little details that make these easy projects so special.
You can see I experimented with two different embossing folders on these Mini Treat Bags.
This might be my favorite :)
And I pulled out my favorite release from last year's Spring Occasions Catalog to make my little notecards - First Sight - still available in the Annual Catalog, page 46 folks!
Featuring the So Detailed Thinlits cut from Vellum cardstock, and stamped with the So In Love stamp set.
And a little Blushing Bride to finish it all off :)
There's your little sneak peak folks. I hope to bring you a little video tutorial next week for all my online followers. In the meantime, Saturday is going to be fun! It's a full class, and I have lots of wonderful projects for these gals :) Time to head back to the Studio! Lots to do!!
Until Next Time . . .
