Doodle Bug Valentines

They are the most adorable Valentines ever.

You really can't mess it up

and this is the 2nd year because there

is that much stuff in the packet.

The inside just says Happy Valentines Day.

 

Valentine's Day cards for the grands

These were so much fun and easy to make. 

Seriously.

Picked up the embellishments first along with some hearts

to match with this Doodblebug collection "lots of love' which is the 6x6

paper pad that I wasn't going to purches. My pal, gifted me. 

Love my friends.

The embelleshmnet packed "odds and end"

was used for the really fun and

cute stuff on the front.

And there's a ton of stuff in the packed in there.

Each card just fell together.

Love them.

 

Valentine Tags

 

For the grands.

I used some watercolor paper because I knew I was going

too use inks to making and I wanted the

background to have texture, so whipping out a cool embossing die

I didn't know I had sent 10 tags on through.

Using a few distress inks using the smack and dab technique

that Tim Holtz teaches and uses.

It was a lot of fun actually, and normally I don't

heat dry the layers, but I did this time.

The background looks great.

 

Oh I added the pockets on the back to hold the $1

I took in - quite the big spender.

That was a total stash bust, but I love those envelopes

and have no clue where I got them or the brand.

Some punched and die cut hearts.

M's dinosaur stamp.

 

My Favorite Valentine 💌

This page just sort of came together.

The paper is from the Studio Calico Candyland kit 

and it just begged for a doily.

The rest went from there.

And then....

I debated about a heritage pix but then I

decided I needed to do a page about my awesome hubby.

I rarely do them because I feel it's mushy

and I'm not the mushy type but I'm working on it.

So I picked a photo of him by himself (not too many of them either)

and decided it would be perfect because he is my favorite hubby and

because its about being a Valentine.

We have the best life and greatest adventures.

Love this man, Seriously.

Instead of sending Valentine cards

I made these monkeys, one of each sex, on a straw for all the grands 

instead of a card. 10 of them in all.

They were a lot of fun to make and as an

extra goodie, I wrapped $1 bill around the straw and

used a piece of twine to hold it on.

I'm told they were a big hit.

So the girl monkey has eyelashes and earrings.

Gold earrings. LOL!!!
