Kid's Valentines

Kaitlyn loved making these valentines. She stamped, colored and signed them; then she put the suckers in.

Ali didn't have time to make hers, so she asked me to. She chose the paper and the type of valentine to make. Each one holds 6 hershey kisses. Quick and easy and cute!

Happy Stamping!

Cookies!

Tonight is our ward activity and we're supposed to bring a dessert to share. I really was not in the mood to create a delicious baked good, I just wanted to STAMP! So...Kaitlyn and I quickly made some homemade OREO cookies (chocolate frosting in the middle b/c I didn't want to go to the store for white frosting); then we stamped!
It was lots of fun stamping with Kaitlyn; she really enjoyed punching the circles, stamping, and glueing.

I just stamped some images and attached them to colored cardstock; then attached everything using the pop-up glue dots and toothpicks.

I know nobody will care tonight, but it was fun bonding time with Kaitlyn and it made me happy inside:)

Thanksgiving Ideas

Better late than never:) These cute little boxes were filled with M&M's and candy corn.

This was an quick and easy gift set made for one of my fabulous hostesses.

Another hostess gift--these cards are incredibly cuter in person.

EXTRAVAGANZA CLARIFICATION

I just get so ahead of myself sometimes, that I leave out key info!!

If you are interested in attending the Christmas Extravaganza, you just need to follow a few steps: Browse through this blog and see what fun papercrafts excite you; then choose what items you want to create--and how many you want to create. After you make that tough decision, then send me your money and order by Thursday October 30th. Then show up on November 21st at 6:00 p.m., with adhesive, to stamp and assemble your fun Christmas creations.

Orders are due this Thursday because I need time to figure out what supplies are necessary, receive the supplies in the mail, and precut everything.
