Glitter Me Silly

Happy Valentine’s day all my gorgeous crafty friends.  I was treated to a humungus box of Thornton’s choccies this morning and a single red rose – aw.  I actually managed to make my hubby his little gift this year – a box totally inspired by my fabulous friend Steph.

The box is a Sizzix Bigz XL die (Shaker Box) and the papers and stamps are all PTI.  I know I showed the card yesterday but thought the two together looked quite cute!!  Inside I put a chopped up Snickers bar (hubby’s favourite) so I guess this is the cheapest Valentine’s ever!!
Ok, off round to mum and dads for a big Sunday roast later – not exactly romantic dining for two but when you have 5 kids, romance is usually last on the list of priorities!!Lol.

Have a great day everyone.
Hugs,

ETA – thought I’d enter again over at A Passion For Papertrey in their Lurve challenge – they’ll be sick of me over there!!!

I saw a gorgeous card on my friend Kate’s blog today and while I have found myself with a bonus hour or so to myself (unheard of on a Saturday afternoon) I thought I’d knock up a quick Valentine’s card for hubby.  The card is based on the current sketch over at CPS and I’ve used my current favourite papers from PTI along with their Pure Poppy card and ribbon.  The felt heart in the centre (sent to me by aforementioned friend!) is from a little pack of fab embellies by Martha Stewart (I ADORE her and her products).  I am entering this into the challenge at A Passion For Papertrey too which is Be My Valentine.

Right, off to make the most of my time with no kids or demanding husband.
Catchya later!

We have a LOVEly challenge over at Mos’ this week perfect for a Valentine theme.  I have used Shy Valentine Vanessa and some gorgeous paper from the Simple Valentine pad from PTI.  She is coloured with Promarkers.

 

Have a great day.

ETA : just thought I’d enter this in the current challenge (Be My Valentine) over at A Passion For Papertrey as I just realised it will count seeing as I have used PTI papers and card – yay!
