Be Mine Fur-Ever!



Foxes. Foxes. Foxes.  Are you tired of foxes?  Well, I decided I am NOT tired of foxes.  Especially when I have these two adorable fox valentines to give!

This Fox is so sweet.  Fun to color!  What could be better than adding a chocolate bar?  I must not be tired of this paper, either.  You might remember it from the kitty valentine last week.  I wrapped a hershey bar in white 28 lb Hammermill Copy Paper.  The paper is nice, thick, and slick.  It feels like nice wrapping paper.  The ends are secured with some heart washi tape.

Adorable. Foxes.  What could be better than having this fox valentine as a printable? 

You know what else I think is adorable:  my baby granddaughter, Louisa!  She is 3 months old today.  I just got back from visiting.  Do you remember the unicorn (and the cute unicorn tag) I gave her for Christmas?  Here she is hanging on to the unicorn in her car seat on the way to Union Station.  The unicorn ended up being the first thing that she's hung on to!

The day before (again at lunch), she's in her stroller licking her unicorn like it's ice cream!

 Thank you for allowing me to indulge my grandma-itis for a moment.

Purrfect Valentines



Granny.  Grandma.   A guy at work keeps calling me granny - hoping to get a rise out of me, I think.   Everyone keeps asking me "What do you want to be called?"  Well, I don't have a problem with Granny or Grandma.  I really don't need a name that makes me seem younger.  I'm happy to be a grandma!  I guess I'll just let Louisa decide.  After all, whatever she calls me will be PURRFECT!

This was a fun card to put together.  I tested out my new chameleon pens on the two kitties.  I'm not sure about the markers yet.  There is a bit of a learning curve and while they are cool, they can't quite do what Copics do.  

 I built the shaker on the back of the front panel of the card.  

It's finished off with a scallop die cut to hide the pieces of the shaker.

And oh, my gosh I think this sweet kitty is purrfect!  If you think she's purrfect for one of your valentines, you can download her below.  

The sentiment is part of the download, too.

So, if you're a grandma, what are you called?  I'm sure whatever your sweet grandchild calls you, it's purrfect!

Sending All My Love


Close your eyes and I'll kiss you.
  Tomorrow, I'll miss you.
  Remember, I'll always be true.
 While I'm away, I'll write home every day - sending all my loving to you.

You probably recognize those lyrics from the Beatles.  Or maybe you're too young?

I just got back from Denver late last night and I'm already missing Louisa today and sending her all my loving.   I can't believe she's already 10 weeks old!  

I've got a couple of fun mail related Valentine projects to share today.


Isn't this mailman adorable?  He's perfect for sending a little love to your Valentine!  

He's all ready for you to download and print below.  

The background heart is sponged with Distress Inks to mimic the original card.
Here's how:




My template is a diecut frame.  But you could certainly create your own by just cutting some scallops or by using a scallop border die.  The heart is die cut from 140lb watercolor paper and sponged on the smooth side.


Part of the download is this sweet sentiment with another cute bluebird.  The bluebird is on the inside of the original card, which is actually a birthday card for a grandson.  But I thought these images were perfect for Valentine's Day.


Have you seen these cute mini mailboxes?  This one is the perfect size to hold two Hershey Nuggets.  So easy to make with the die.  Gotta love that sweet mouse, too!


Here's an end view.  Another great way to send some love!
