Valentines. Angels. They certainly go together. These old valentines are so pretty.
I used these angels a couple of years ago on top of a fan-shaped candy box.
You can see that I basically cased myself to create this card. I love the box, so why not a card? The download has the angels on white and also on gorgeous old ledger paper. And if you love that heart rosette (isn't the gold and pink glitter so pretty?), I have a video from a couple of years ago on how to make them.
The little bon bon box is also from that time. You can see more about it HERE.
You may remember me talking about how Louisa loves to "RAWR" and that I made THIS Valentine card for her. Well, she also loves to "MEOW!"
When she's here, she meows at the top of her lungs and follows kitty around saying "Hi, Kitty!" When she saw me a couple of weeks ago, she asked, "Kitty? Kitty?" I had to tell her No, that Kitty did not come with me, that he had to stay home. So, I made this sweet black kitty valentine for my mom and dad to give to Louisa.
You can download the Valentine Angels HERE. Dropbox seems to work differently for different people. Either right click and save when image appears or click the download button in the top right corner. If neither method works, email me and I'll send the files to you.
So you came back for the second day - YAY! Didn't you just love the wonderful projects from all the blogs yesterday? I'm sure there will be awesomeness today, too! I've got angels, santa, snowflakes and Rudolph - are you smiling already?
My first project today is an angels ornament. I always do something with angels every Christmas. I love pretty angels - I also like cute ones,too - as you'll see below! This lovely angel ornament started with a beautiful gold doily. I really love the gold and white.
I've got a couple of angel images for you to download below and a video on making these as well.
Let's stick with gold and white for a little while longer.
My next project is all about this gorgeous image from Moonlighting & Co. - one of our sponsors. Go visit Mary and take a look at her beautiful things - I bet you can't resist something!
I created a bag out of an envelope (just seal it up and cut off one end).
Then slipped it in an embossing folder - off to one side - and ran it through my Big Shot. It's really pretty (but you have to look really closely at the photo to see it)!
Next up, take a look at that wonderful snowflake lattice. Don't you love it? It is a cut file from The Cutting Cafe. Regina is the lovely owner and always generously sponsors Visions of Sugarplums. Go by The Cutting Cafe and you're sure to find just the right cut file (or maybe you might like her new stamps!).
I've got the sentiment for you to download below - in three colors!
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose... My cherry sours don't really glow, but they do taste really good and seem like perfectly good Rudolph noses to me!
I'm really proud of this printable. It's based on an old 3M tape package that came home with me a couple of years ago from work. We were doing some major cleaning out and I drug home an awesome old typewriter. And hidden inside was the old 3M package.
And then to make this tag really awesome - I found My Clip Art Store. Which is where I found that adorable reindeer and the star. You can download Spare Rudolph Noses below.
So easy and cute - just print out, cut, hole punch and tie!
Just one more project and we can go look at everybody else's!
See I told you - that is one cute angel! LOVE the reindeer weathervane and the tiny hiney!
She's just waiting for you to download her. Get her below.

Hi there! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday with their family. We had fun, especially with a two year old, a BIG dog, and an old cat. Charlotte (my daughter's niece) turned two on Christmas day. Lauren and Paul have a puppy (and I use that term loosely), Percy, who is an Airedale and already 40 pounds! Kitty is scared to death of him, although Percy just seems to want to play!
Kirby always asks for a special New Year's card for his wife, Gail. Their first date was on New Year's Eve a long time ago (Ha!).
These little angels are so cute, aren't they? You can download this sweet image HERE. Just right click and download.

This is a picture of the Yule Log that Dennis and I made for Christmas Eve. Don't the meringue mushrooms look real? Dennis made those! We also had Lasagne Roll Ups and they were awesome. I should have time to get together recipes this week for those of you who are interested. (Including the homemade marinara sauce that you asked for Laura Strack!)
What will you do for New Year's Eve? Have a party? Go to an event? Sleep?
Whatever it is, I'm wishing you all the best for 2015!
