Valentine Treats for School

I wanted to share with you my latest craft exploration for Valentine's day.  Here are the Valentine's that my children and I made for their school friends.

For the girls, we made these flower valentine's with the Blossom Punch by Stampin Up and the Island Floral die.  The "friendship" center of this flower is from a retired stamp set called "Thinking Happy Thoughts".  I had my son practice typing his friends names on the computer and we printed out the To and From banners.  

For the boys, we made these gear shaped valentines.  We used the Basket and Blooms die along with the "Circle Circus" stamp set.

I really enjoyed spending time making in these with my boys.  They always love to use the big shot and help stamp.  

Happy Crafting,

Melanie

Mixed Bunch Thank you - Post it Note

While we away during Christmas, our neighbor was kind enough to watch our cat for us.  I wanted to do something to thanks her, so when I saw colorful post it notes in the Target $1 bin I knew what I was going to do.  

Who can't use post it notes?n  I know I am always looking for some and can't seem to find any.  I coordinated the flower made with the Mixed Bunch stamp set and the blossom punch.  For the background pattern, I used the Summer Silhouettes from Stampin Up.  

Happy Crafting,

Melanie
