Valentines Day Heart Wreath For My Mom

Good morning! I just wanted to share a wreath I started a few weeks ago for my Mom. I finally finished it late last night. She is one of the strongest women I know and just to show her how much I "LoVe" her. I made her this very simple wreath. Her strength is immeasurable. Thank You Mom for showing us the way to forge forward even though at times we may not want too!

I LOVE YOU!

Hello ~ Welcome to My Creative Time Throwback Thursday! Today's theme is a "Bug Theme"! You can click here for all the details. For this challenge you must use an "older" cartridge! Today I actually have two cards. One is simple and the other a little fun!

My first card is a simple and clean card. I have been doing a lot of simple cards/projects lately with not a lot of flare. I decided to use the butterfly from Hannah Montana. I used my xyron and some Martha Stewart coarse glitter. This course glitter is so light and delicate ~ sort of like a butterfly! Emma's stamp set "Classy & Fabulous" just has the PERFECT fonts for my card!

Materials:

Valentine's Day Mailbox

I just wanted to share a Valentine's Day mailbox that I made for my son. I bought the mailbox from Joann's. All stamps used are from Emma over at My Creative Time. I have to say this was simple to create because her stamps and dies are simply AMAZING! I also adhered this with my ATG gun. It stays and can be removed VERY easily for next year! My hearts are having a little bit of problems but that is just because it is going around the curve.

Simple Notes Cards

Hello I have a real quick project for you all today. Before I go onto my project I would like to say "Thank You" to all the warm wishes since I have returned to blogging! I am truly touched by all of you! I enjoy seeing every one's creations and I am so inspired by all of you! I really missed all your creativity!

Okay for my project today I made simple and easy note cards. I am forever sending in notes to my son's teacher. Yes ~ there is email and texting but she doesn't always have an opportunity to read them, she is there teaching, and get back to everyone as quickly as we may need. There are many times I need to pick my son up early, or to let her know that he didn't sleep last night that well. His teacher is so sweet and LOVES and CARES about our children as if they were her own. So I usually send in a note from the paper from our printer or on an index card. So I thought why not make the note nicer. I used My Creative Time stamps for these! Emma's stamps are so PERFECT for this! I know my son's teacher will love getting these!

I used My Creative Time Stamps:

Small Talk

Teeny Tag Greetings

Paper Trey Ink paper

Memento and Stampin Up ink

Thank you for stopping by but before you go click here to see what the talented ladies created for Monday Madness...Imagine That! You won't be disappointed!

Exciting Announcement!

Hello I have some exciting news! Emma from My Creative Time has asked me to join her design team! I am beyond over the moon with excitement! I have been a huge fan and follower of Emma's since my blogging journey began in 2010! Her stamps and dies are beyond incredible and so fun to work with!

Just to tell you about myself. I have been married for 15 plus years to a very sweet, supportive and kind hearted man. We have known each other since grade school. We have a 6 1/2 year old little boy who is our EVERYTHING! He loves to do crafts too!  I am fortunate enough to be a stay at home mom/wife who has many roles, duties and paper crafting is something I do for fun! I love to use my Cricut but dies are my favorite thing to work with!

I would also like to say I am honored and excited to work beside these talented and creative "My Creative Time Designers" too!

Onto my card:
So for my card today I have to share my story behind this. Our house is divided by chocolate. My husband loves MILK chocolate but I love WHITE chocolate! So when I made this card I had him in mind! I really do LOVE him more than chocolate!
