Valetine's Pancakes

Steve was sweet enough to make us these heart shaped pancakes on Sunday and they even tasted better than they looked!

These are the Valentine's that we made up for Sophia's class this year.

We matched the topper color with the same colored heart sticker inside.
She also helped to fold over the tops, staple them together and then helped to stamp the "you rock my world" stamp at the top.

Valentine's Heart Craft

Here is an easy & fun craft to do with kids. I found the directions on Martha Stewart's website.

Start with a sheet of waxed paper folded in half the long way and put crayon shavings in the middle of it. We found out after the next step that this was not enough shavings. It works better with thicker shavings and in multiple shades. But be careful not to make too many shavings or they will ooze out the sides.

Then I cut a paper bag in half and put one half under the wax paper and the other on top of it and then ironed on top to melt the crayons underneath of it. They melt pretty quickly so check it often.
This is how one of ours turned out. Then the kids traced hearts on the wax paper and cut them out.

We are going to take down the snowflakes that we made and hang up the new hearts in the window instead. My nephew wants to cover his whole bedroom door with them!

I {heart} Cookies

Here is a page I made from last Valentine's Day. My niece & my daughter made cookies and were working really hard on them! I love the photos and thought it turned out to be a fun page.

I still need to add the {} brackets on the page, I didn't have any when I was working on it Saturday. TFL!

Teacher Valetine

These are the cute little jars of candy we gave to the pre-school teachers this year.

Valentine Treats

These are the treats we made for my daughter's pre-school class. I asked her if she wanted to make them or buy them this year. She said buy them. So I let her choose and she picked the 3-D Transformers ones. I'm sure she will be the only girl giving out Transformers Valentine's but it's fine with me! Then we picked out Airheads candy to go with it...Then we needed some way to keep them together. So this is what we came up with, really quick & easy and I like the staple in front for some reason.

I just used 2 1/4 x 4 1/4 pieces, mostly centered the fold & stapled the bottom. After my Daughter signed them all we tucked them in with a piece of candy. We did tan fronts for the boys and pink for the girls. The stamp is part of a set I just got on eBay by Stampin Up called "Sweet on You". I stamped in black ink, used my 1 1/2" Scalloped circle punch by Paper Shapers. I colored in the heart with good old Crayola Markers. We had 18 of them for her class and a few extras for friends.

Valetine's Day Cards

Here are three cards I made for the sale last weekend. As you can see I love this polka dot paper! I think it is by American crafts. The "all my love" stamp is part of an old Stampin Up set.

Forever

Another Valentine's Day Card. I Tried some more new paper that's kinda groovy. Most of the rest of the paper is misc. The stamp was from the $ section at Michael's. Ribbon is by American Crafts. Thanks for looking!

Valentine's Day Card

Here is a quick card for Valentine's Day. I don't usually make too many cards for Valentine's Day, but I am pretty sure I am doing a craft sale next weekend & thought it might be good to have a couple for sale! I used some non-traditional colors and a new bird stamp I got in the $ section at Joann's.

The awesome leaf paper is by American Crafts, I am totally drawn to their paper all of the time. The brown & the blue papers are by Stampin Up. I stamped the bird part on the reddish paper and then cut it out and glued it on top of the stamped image to tie in the red some more.
