Age of Aquarius

This week I wanted to share some cards that 

I have made for some birthdays this month.

I hope that the recipients liked them.

One of my FAVORITE things to create are Birthday cards.

I just want the birthday person to get a smile from their mail,

instead of mail and junk ads.

I hope it works!

This first one is an Aquarius card...

all purple for the person I am sending it to...

her FAVORITE color.

This one is musically themed.
The person getting this one
I have been friends with since
cassette tapes came out!

This one is for a guy.
It is always hard for me to do masculine cards,
so I hope this one is received well.

This card was a lot of fun to put together.
I have the dies to cut each piece of this stamp set
and it was fun to put brads on the wheels.

Thanks so much for indulging in my creations for the week.
Have a great day!

Show some love

This week I want to show the rest of my Valentine's Love.
Each year at work I do try to do something for my co-workers.
Hubby was able to get these bags of Kisses for almost nothing with coupons...he is the Coupon King!!!
I was able to dress them up a bit with some items I purchased at Target and Hobby Lobby and in my stash.

Then I was also able to dress up some lollipops 

with paper and ribbon.

I also used some foam stickers I had from last year.

The back sticker is from Target this year.

I totally love when I pick up stuff that I think is adorable,

and then actually use it!!!

See, there is a reason us crafters pick up items that look good,

we know we will use them...sooner or later!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day!!!

Weepuls

My teen years were in the 80's,
yes, I am dating myself...
But anyway, when I went to Hobby Lobby to see what they had for Valentine's Day crafting, I right away thought of Weepuls.
I am not sure how many of you will remember these little guys

For some reason, I remember them everywhere back then.

So when I saw these huge pom poms,
I thought of those little guys.
Of course, there were other items I picked up as well.

Here is my version of the Weepul.
Not sure why they were named that either,
not a very attractive name for them,
but I do not remember them for their name.
I just remember that they were cute with the googly eyes.

So using the pom poms, googly eyes, pipe cleaners, some card stock hearts for the feet and bows for the antennas...
This is what I came up with.

After the first one, of course I had to make a gang of them.
I am giving them to my co-workers this year for Valentine's day.
But had to share with you to see
how many of you remember them.

Hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!!!

Backpack Album

Every once in a while when I get caught up on cards for the month, I try to find something different to make...so I search YouTube to see what everyone is up to.

Well, I found a video on YouTube from Mixed Up Craft that shows her making a Backpack Gift Bag.  

I thought this was just brilliant and had to try my hand at it.

Her directions are pretty easy to follow.

Of course though, I did have to do my own thing to it as well,

I made an album to fit inside the backpack.

I just purchased this paper set called Love Story from Tuesday Morning and since it is the Valentine season, 

I figured I should use this for my new project.

This is the front of the backpack.
There is also a pocket on the front that you can add things to.

Here's a side view.
There are also pockets on each side.

Here is the back with the straps.

The album I made fits right inside the backpack.

I made the album with four pages to add photos to.

I loved making this backpack and may have to make another.
It was rather fun and easy to make and the result you get is awesome.
