 Hi all!

Today is a catch-up day. So many times, I lay things aside, and they don't get posted here. Sorry for the photo overload!

Here are some things I've created, and want to share:

These boxes were fromone of  Stampin Up's Paper Pumpkin kits. The kit made 16 boxes. I actually have several in a little shop downtown. The patterned papers and sentiments were all different. I put an easel card type of top on mine. This shot shows the box closed up.

Here is the opened box. As you can see, I could have used either the green or the coral color for the box, just depending on how I chose to fold it!  I put 2 Hershey chocolate miniature bars in each box, and laid the gift card on top for someone to either attach a real gift card to, or to write a note on.

This is a terrible photo - couldn't get it right the day I took it, but this is a swap that 9 of us took part in. Every couple of months, we do a new panel, and this was our Christmas panel. Sorry to make your eyes cross! My square was the little car with the tree on the roof.

Birthday card for our daughter...

Daughter and granddaughter play the Ukelele, so couldn't pass up a chance to create a fun card for them.

A friend, Lisa Stiehr, who sells Close to My Heart products, had us in one morning to make a card and small scrapbook page. Here's the card...

And here's the page!

Borrowed these stamps from Shirley, my bestie, to create these cute favors to stick into the grandkids Valentine's boxes.

That's all I have for today. Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Hugs,

Patti J.

Happy Valentine's Day

Yep, you read that right!

It just dawned on me that I had not shared the Valentine Cards that we sent the kids.  

These were just too cute not to share.

Sally McDonald, a friend of mine for many years, is a Stampin'Up! demonstrator, and has been having a bi-monthly get-together at a local coffee shop. We get to visit, make a card (or several), visit a bit more, and have a cuppa.  When I saw the 'monsters' that day, I knew that the grandkids

would like them.

Granddaughter got the shaker card, as she's 3, and the grandsons got the other two.

Here they are:

Now, you're smiling, right???  Who could resist these cutie patooties?

Thanks for dropping by today!

Hugs,

Patti J.
