Valentine Candy pockets

These are the valentines my kids and I are working on for their friends at school. I used the Cricut to cut the tags and envelopes (Tags, bags, boxes cartridge). Then we embossed the tags with Cuttlebug embossing folders, colored the image with pencils and Twinklette markers, and stamped them with hearts and cute sayings. Lastly I helped staple the candy and a sheer ribbon to the top.

Hooray for PanPastels!

I have been having way too much fun playing with my PanPastels! And just like the name says, these are pastels in a pan. This is because there is so little binder in them that they wouldn't function in stick form. They are almost pure pigment, so a small amount goes a long way and with very little excess dust.

Fun with Memory Glass and Frames

Here is a quick fun little project using Memory Glass and Memory Frames! I trapped a peacock feather between two pieces of Memory Glass, temporarily secured with tape. (just a couple small pieces of tape to keep the glass and feather in place). I trimmed the feather so that no part of it extended past the glass. I then carefully inserted the glass sandwich into the memory frame while removing the temporary tape. Tah-Dah! Quick and easy pendant gift! This project took less than 10 minutes to complete, and looks pretty fabulous!
