Me & You Mini 6x6 Layout

I made another little 6x6 layout the other day that I wanted to share with you.  If you haven't noticed by now I am loving the Crate Paper Valentine's line and apparently have Valentine's Day on my mind.  Even though I am thinking about the holiday now I can guarantee you I will be one of the idiots at Hallmark the day of trying to find a half decent card from whatever is left over (oh yeah I am a procrastinator) - at least my husband works in a different town so I won't see him there.  One year when we were living in South Dakota we ran into each other on our lunch break at the local pharmacy buying cards!!  It was a small town and there weren't many places to go!  But anyways back to the layout:

 You can probably tell that I was inspired by the tags I made (see yesterday's post).  You can see a lot of the same elements - the polka dots - the embellishment. 

Trio of Valentine's Day Tags

I (heart) You Tag

I know Valentine's Day is more than a month away but I am loving Crate Paper's Valentine's line and have been making lots of tags!

In Love Tag

Happy Valentine's Day!

If you know me you know I don't do cards - tags, atcs - I've got those down but for some reason I can't make a card to save my life!! But here I am making one for Valentine's day - it's simple but I like how it turned out!

Dressed Up Valentines

I like to regularly stop by the dollar tree to check and see if there is anything I can alter - turning something cheap into something cute is always a fun challenge. Dustin and I were there the other day and I was about to leave the store empty handed when I saw these candy boxes and thought - "Hey! I can make those cute and turn it into a blog post!" (and Dustin said " OOOOH candy!" lol). So here are my dressed up valentines:

Be Mine Frame

I found this frame the other day at a craft store while looking for a new project for the blog. I liked the detail and the fact that it was 3x2 (almost ATC size - and actually the frame lied it was more like 3 1/4 x 2 1/4 so even closer!). I thought this was the perfect project - I could rotate the ATCs in the frame depending on what was going on during the year. So first up is a Valentine's Day design:

Simple Heart Stamp Tutorial

I made this simple tag using the distress tag technique from last week (found here) using inks in red and pink shades. I then made a simple stamp using a pencil eraser to be able to repeatedly stamp a small heart on the tag. Here is a quick tutorial:
