52 Little Questions #7

So question 7 is:  "What song describes you?"  Not what is your favorite song or what song talks about a situation in your life. BUT what song actually describes you. Not as easy as it sounds so I had to go back to an old standby song that I always said was like me....

Emotional Girl

Overall the cards over all are going well. I had covered a few cards with background paper so it takes less time to do them
but now I am thinking of trying something different. I want to try some collage backgrounds to make the cards a bit more artsy and also so that all the cards aren't alike in any way. I'll still do some background papers at times like I've been doing but off to experiment with another method.  See you soon with the next card....and What song describes you???

Make It Monday: Valentine's Box

 

 

It's Make It Monday,.....and the feature for today is Evan's Valentine Box....

Here is the finished product....but how did it get to this point?  Wrapping papper from Dollar Tree and diecuts and pom pom garland from Michaels were the basic supplies. The foundation is a shoe box...with an opening cut and wrapped in the shiney red paper.

Tape, a glue stick and a hot glue gun were also needed supplies. Along with a empty wrapping paper roll.  The team worked hard to turn the box into Lightening McQueen.  You can see the side of the box here and the tires!

Evan's pretty happy with the end result. As usual frugal finds can be used in fun and colorful ways!  I'd love to see any Vanetine's Day posts you are posting, so please comment and provide a link!

14 Things I Love Tags

Here's Make It Monday's project. It's not finished yet but it is getting there and I wanted to share it with you in case you wanted to make one up for Valentine's Day. You could change it to 14 Things I Love about You...and give it as a Valentine.

The tags were purchased at Michael's dollar spot and I used two patterns. They came in packs of 12 so I needed to use two designs since I didn't have two packs of the same pattern.  The front of the tags are decorated with 14 things I love and on the back there will be some journaling about each thing.

You can see from this pic that I will need to add the journaling. Perhaps I will do that during the Super Bowl game....you'll be reading this tomorrow...and excaliming about how I might have taken my eyes off the TV for a even a few seconds to journal. HA

I created a little title tag using tags punched from the bigger tags, one pattern on each side. One side says 14 Things and the other side says..I Love. 

Although there's not a lot of room on the tags, I did enjoy this project. Perhaps simple and quick flows easier and the tiny space keeps one from getting "crazy" about the embellishments. I have some tweaking to do on a few more tags...artistic wise...BUT all and all I like the little book. It can hang from a small hook, lay on the little desk with the Valentine's Day display or perhaps I'll find a tiny tin to keep it in. I thought I had one that I bought a long time ago at Targets dollar spot but it is a tiny bit too small....so I will continue keeping my eye out!
