Scotty Valentines + Heart Ornaments


Do you make New Year's Resolutions?  I never have, but I think it might be time.  I'm overrun by crafting goodies and I need to do something about it.  So my New Year's Resolution is to:


USE MY (OLD) STUFF!

So, what's old stuff here?  The red polka and gingham papers, white sack, the deco-look frame and the project life card.  I'm pretty sure I've had those little black and silver gems for about 5 years!



The scotty valentine was picked up on one of my fun antiquing trips with Dennis and Lauren.



I've got him ready for you to create a fun valentine.  You can download him below.



You've probably seen lots of these heart ornaments.  





I can't stand to see the staples or the ends of the hanger glued to the outside of one of the hearts.  It doesn't take much more time to follow the tips above and you don't have anything unsightly ruining the cuteness of the ornaments!

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.

Thank you so much for all your well wishes!  Dennis and I are both feeling better, but I swear it seems as if this cough is never going away!  I've got plane tickets this week to visit baby Louisa so I have to be better!

So, I'm off to make good on my New Year's Resolution.  Looking through my stash...
How are you doing with your New Year's Resolutions?  

Have a wonderful week!

Vintage Valentine's Day Treat Boxes



 Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!   I have to say Christmas was pretty wonderful.

The Highs of Christmas:

1.  New Grandbaby

2.  Christmas Goose

 Christmas with Louisa was so awesome, singing Christmas Carols and reading Christmas books.  We cooked our first goose for Christmas dinner.  Well, I should say that Lauren and her daddy cooked Christmas Goose while I played with Louisa.  Worked for me!



Here's what sweet Louisa looked like when she picked us up for our visit.  Her mommy took the picture right before they left the house.  So sweet!

The Lows of After Christmas:

1.  Computer Hard Drive Crash (still working on getting it all back together!)
2.  Flu
3.  Strep


Seriously, BOTH! 

 Dennis came down with flu while we were there.  So far we can say Louisa doesn't have it, thank goodness!  But I was diagnosed yesterday with flu and strep! Yuck!  Needless to say, we didn't go out for New Year's Eve...



But, I am smiling over these cute valentine treat boxes!  They are both ready to print and create.  You can choose (or why don't you just make both) a kitten or a puppy, pink or teal.  Each one comes with a sentiment wrap.



The  boxes are super easy to put together and the kitten and puppy will make you smile, too!



Just a couple of tips to make it even easier.

Okay, I'm back to coughing and sleeping if I can.  Happy New Year's!

Christmas Holiday Blog Hop with Paper Sweeties



Welcome to Paper Sweeties Christmas Countdown!  Lots of fun and inspiration to be had.  Thank you for asking me to be a part of it, Debbie!


Check out the Paper Sweeties Blog for all the blog links and daily specials.  You'll be glad you did!

 

Homespun Holidays is one of my favorite stamp sets.  A few years ago, I made a cute shrinky-dink charm with the reindeer.  You can see it HERE.  (Ignore those blurry pictures!)

Homespun Holidays is absolutely perfect for creating a tag for this pretty plaid bag.


I picked up what I thought were plaid Christmas dish towels from Target.   When I got home, I saw they were marked "placemats".  I guess they could be used for either one.  It doesn't matter, I had another idea in mind, anyway!  

I folded it in half lengthwise and cut off a section with pinking shears.  Then I just sewed each side.  Quick and easy bag!   Fill it up and tie a bow around it.  And add that cute reindeer tag, of course!


Next up is this sweet little snow girl - isn't her outfit cute?  The background is batting that I had left over from some project long ago.  I love the sentiment:  You Melt My Heart.

Let's go check out the daily special at Paper Sweeties...
