Happy Post-Valentine's Day....hoping you had hugs and kisses, sugar cookies and sprinkles, hearts and flowers, candlelight and music, and of course....some chocolate!
Let's see....my little Valentine turned into a monster right before dinner...had a major meltdown, perked up a bit for Family Home Evening and for the creating of some ooooey gooooey Love Bug cupcakes...digested way too much sugar right before bedtime....and finally passed out in her bed at 10:00....at that time, my husband and I started a movie, got all snugly, and I immediately fell asleep on the couch...he said I made it about 10 minutes :) We are such romantics!
He surprised me with the cutest new, pink cell phone...I can text now! Try not to laugh too hard...but I'm NOT a texter....I've been refusing to give in...prefer to talk on the phone...even by email, but heaven's NO...no texting for me. But, alas...how can I resist a sweet, pink cell phone with a darling little keyboard and teensy tiny keys? I won't...I'm giving in...but just occasionally....you know, to drop my husband a dorky message that will make him laugh in the middle of the day. He's so good to me...what would I ever do without him?
OK....enough of that...on to the Papertrey Ink parade of new release projects! This first creation uses Mish Wooderson's Friendship Jar Spring Fillers stamp set....I'm addicted...I can't stop making things with it 'cause it's sooooooo cute. I've got to try out the speckled egg image next...I do so love speckled eggs. You can also spy her new Button Boutique set here as well along with a Doily Details Collection die.
Next up....a trio of tag using the new Hello Friend, Background Basics: Newsprint, and Bitty Background Blocks stamp sets.
I also used the new Tag Sale #2 die, Friendly Flower, Button Card Collection, Buttoned Up #1 and #2, Doily Details Collection, and Delightful Dahlias dies.
This trio of cards uses the new Background Basics: Newsprint, Mat Stack 4 Collection, and Tag-its #1 stamp sets.
The dies used are Mat Stack 4, Buttoned Up #2, and Doily Details Collection.
This card uses the new Flower Fusion #1 stamp set and coordinating die, and the new and ever so lovely Edgers #2 die.
The Fillable Frames Addtions 1 stamp set is featured here along with Background Basics: Newsprint. The Fillable Frames #4 die is used here as well as the Edgers #2 die.
Lastly, a card featuring the new Think Big Favorites #1 and Delightful Doilies stamp sets. I also used the Delightful Doilies die collection here are well as the Love Lives Here die.
Time to go figure out what to make for dinner....maybe some soup tonight.
Enjoy your day!
Melis

Ha - I just got the above comment! I too look forward to your posts every day. You really inspire me. After years of looking at what every one else is doing, with your help I finally realized what my style is. Kinda like yours, but with my own spin. Thanks so much!
I put in my PTI order this morning and I finally gave myself permission to buy your Love Lives Here set, but it was out of stock! Oh well, I'll try again soon.

You always make the sweetest things, Melis! I still do not know how to text, don't have a blog, do not know how to upload photos without my son's help, etc., etc., etc.! LOL Slowly but surely I will make my way into catching up with the 21st century!

Sometimes Valentine's Day and Halloween are both just too much excitement for little ones (not to mention the sugar content). We try so hard to get them in a routine, and then are surprised when they are uncomfortable out of it. I'm sure she woke up her usual sunny delightful self.
Lovely, lovely projects (as always.)
