BBTB2 - Valentine's Day Anything Goes

Happy Monday!!!

Today over at BBTB2 I am lucky enough to host this week's challenge.

I decided that it was time to kick it in gear and start thinking about

Valentine's Day :)

So this week I thought it would be fun to do an Anything Goes

Valentine's Style....

So as I was scrolling on Facebook the other day,

I came across a post from my Design Team Sister Sukie over at

Scrappin Dhilly and I immediately fell in love with her

Valentine Topper. (Thanks Sukie!!!)

I knew it was exactly what I wanted to CASE

for this year's Valentine's I make for my

friends, co-worker's, and my kids' teachers.

Of course, it isn't exactly like hers, how could I compete :)

But I did what I could with the materials I had.

The hearts I cut from George, the topper base is from

Elegant Edges, as well as the scallop trim at the top.

The arrow is from Small Talk Frames and Tags.

I rifled through my ribbon bins and found some fun

pieces to use. I also ordered on Amazon a TON of

little key embellishments - which I LOVE, and added

one to some twine and just clipped them all together

with a mini clothes pin I picked up from the Dollar Store.

Of course the chocolates are the Hershey's Nuggets

wrapped in strips of Valentine scrapbook paper.

I also used the cut out hearts from the topper as

confetti in the bag, so nothing went to waste :)

My XOXO stamp is from a Fiskars stamp set

and I decided to do a little bit of blush inking on the hearts.

I really like how these turned out,

now I just need to make 30 more :)

I hope you will join us over at BBTB2 this week!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

BBTB2 - Frame It!

Happy Monday!

Can you believe it is October?!?!

I love Fall :)

This week over at BBTB2 we have a super fun challenge

all about Frames!

I used the Small Talk and Frames and Tags

cart for my project.

I thought of doing this card as a thank you for

the photographer who will take our family pictures next week.

The papers are all from Recollections.

I used a lot of foam tape to create a 3D effect

with the frame layers.

I really like this color combo too :)

I hope you will join us over at BBTB2 this week!
