Hearts

Here are some more of the Valentines I found at the flea market and also some that I made for a heart garland swap. I mailed those off yesterday, can't wait for the returns.

flea market

We went to the flea market yesterday and saw so many cool things. I didn't buy the fox fur, but got a really cool mirror and knit hat and some vintage Valentines. The kids and my mom found some neat stuff too.

Heart Box

I am in the process of filling up my heart box with fun artsy vintage items for my swap partner Kathy. She has a very cute blog and loves to dye packing tags with tea. She loves old buttons like me and might go to the Goodwill almost as much as me. I am going to the Rosebowl Flea Market tomorrow. Looking forward to finding lots of treasures. What are you up to?

Altered Heart Chocolate Box

This is a tutorial for altering your chocolate box.

Glue a piece of printed paper on the top. I used mymindseye adore scrapbook paper.

Cut a smaller heart out of a different printed paper. I used a page of sheet music. Add glue and glitter to the edge.

Glue smaller heart onto box and add a piece of fiesta fringe across the top. I used double sided tape to adhere the fringe.

Add a vintage Valentine to top. I color copied an old Valentine and glued it to cardstock. Add any other embellishments that you wish. I also added a strip of paper that I folded to make a banner.

Let me know if you try this. I'd love to see yours.

Heart Swaps

I have joined a few Valentines swaps. So excited. I joined so heart ATC swaps on atcards.com and illustradedatcs.com and artsy mama's heart swap. gosh, it's only January and so looking forward to February 14th. So Inspired. What is inspiring you lately?

Who did this?

I love reading blogs about people waking up in the morning to a beautiful white yard. A dusting of snow during the night. Well we woke up to a white yard too, but we got a dusting of toilet paper during the night. I have a few hunches about who might have done this, maybe a payback, maybe not. Who did this?

Glamarama

I shared these photos a little while ago, and couldn't wait to scrap them. I love the creative cafe button and flower, and the heidi swap bling. Do you have some photos that you can't wait to scrap? What are you waiting for?
