Hello there!!!

I'm always trying to think of a new creature or something cute with the pillow box die from Sizzix. Last year, I had fun with these owls and frogs. I racked my brain for a bit to see what I can create to pump some freshness into Valentine's Day 2013 and came up with the Love Bandit and Robot Love. Thank goodness I love to play with the paper because the piecing of the raccoons is tedious and time consuming.... but I absolutely love the outcome! The robots are great valentines for the boys to hand out and can also be used for birthday parties!

Playing around with the boxes, I found the Hershey's minis for Valentine's Day worked great! I was able to fit three pieces in each box. :)

If you would like to order some for this Valentine's Day, please visit my shop by clicking here. I can customize your colors. Just contact me for a reserved order.

Wishing you lots of love this Valentine's Day and many more!!!!

I always thought I was more of a traditional Christmas colors kind of gal but the last few years the bright punches of purple, pink and turquoise against white have really caught my eye. 

I played with some papers to create a Christmas/Winter paper bag scrapbook album. It's just so fun and cheery and I'm pretty sure matches with my girl's snow outfit, lol. Papers used were from a 6x6 pad from Recollections I picked up at Michaels mixed with some DCWV Chip Chatter alphas for the front cover. The embellishments were also mostly from Recollections accented with some Primas and hand punched snowflakes.

While cutting for the album, I thought how fun owl treat boxes would be in those shades. Cute for a Winter Wonderland party or Candy-themed birthday.
