Valentine Snickers Candy Bar Wrapper and Box

Happy Valentine's Day everyone:

Here is the box that I made to hold my altered Snickers Candy Bar. The paper I used is so pretty, I just love it.  It is called Fourteen by Crate Paper.   I used my Silhouette and a SVG file by Lori Whitlock. I also used a flag from Bella Boulevard and cut out a heart from one of the Fourteen Papers called February.  The stickers are from October Afternoon and are called Sno-Cone Mini Market.  They are perfect for smaller titles.  Lastly I took some washi tape and put some on white paper down the edge on both sides and then trimmed the piece of paper to 1/4".  I then wound the strips around chop sticks and came out with those wonderful curls.
I hope everyone has an awesome Valentine's Day and don't forget to stop into the store to pick up your holiday paper crafting supplies,
Hugs,

Day 10 of 14 Days of Love with Right at Home Scrapbooking


Card 1Hope everyone survived the blizzard safely.  I took advantage of the time to create my post for today. Lisa and Holly gave me this awesome book from Card Maker Magazine called A to Z Embellishments for Cards.  I chose to  make Fabric Yo-Yo's to use on my cards.  You can find the directions for these fun fabric flowers on page 140.  I used Crate Papers wonderful Valentine line called Fourteen.  I also used Crate Paper Stitched Labels.  I would normally make one card but these yo-yo's were so much fun and the papers so gorgeous that I kept going.  Did you know that Lisa has this amazing assortment of buttons that you can pick from in the store?  I had such fun fishing through the mason jars which are organized by color to find some wonderful buttons.  I love the pink one below with the silver design.

14 Days of Love Tags

Here are the two tags that I made using Basic Grey's True Love line.  These were actually left over pieces from my Basic Grey Kit of the Month Club kit.  They always give you so many goodies.  I also used a Unity Stamps Life Calendar stamp which would be perfect on layout pages as well as on cards.  Of course I had to use a bunch of dies from My Favorite Things.  Lisa has all these items and more in the store to make for your favorite Valentines.
Hugs,

You can find all these lovely products in the Hens' Den store.   I am going to tuck this away for my sweetie.  I used some Crystal Effects on the lips, on the kisses tag, on the fan that the woman is holding and on the hearts on the My Sweetheart tag.  I had fun playing with Pic Monkey to edit the cropped photos.
