We're two of a kind

Day 7 and staying strong. Can you guys believe there is only a week left until Valentines day?! It's so crazy to me, it feels like January just started. Now we are a week into February!
Well here was the gift that I left for my hubby. We love to play card games, so I thought this one was a good idea. I left a pack of cards as well. (=

I just put the cards in an envelope so it would stay up on the wall by the front door where I left it for him to find.
I can't believe I haven't said this before, but PLEASE, PLEASE leave comments. Let me know what you have done for your sweetie. Add a picture if you want. Hope you guys have a great new week (=
Thanks,

You and I make Cents

This tag is as easy and lazy as a tag can get! A few years back I got this tag from the  dollar spot at Target. I needed to make a quick one for the morning, so I just inked the edges and taped them to the tag and adhered the coin with a glue dot.
Simple, fast and easy, and yet the hubby really liked it because he is a coin FREAK! Lol.

As you can see, this one was really small, so small that he didn't see it! I hit it in with his under shirts.
He found it when he got home and he had such a goofy smile on his cute face.
Have a great Monday night everyone!

Day 4 and 5

Sorry I didn't have time to post yesterday. It was a crazy and fun Saturday. But the good news is, that means I have 2 pictures today!
Here is day 4 (yesterday),  first:

Day 4

 I didn't have a gift for this tag, it was just the little love message.

Again I used Lacy Labels and Holiday Red ink from Close To My Heart. I used random buttons that I have and a white prima flower that I inked.

Day 5

For day 5 I used my Old West Cricut Cartridge. As you can see this one was extremely simple. But it is way cute, and the Hubster really liked it. It was perfect for Sunday because it was Fast Sunday and we chew gum after we take the Sacrament.
I have been hiding them in different places every day, so he has a new surprise in a new place every time. That's why this is my the light switch. (=

I'd like to take this chance and express how much I have enjoyed this wonderful Sunday. I had a great day at Church and enjoyed a great evening at home with my family. I was  nervous to go to church today, but I continued to have a calming feeling and I had the most amazing lessons. I got to visit with friends and feel my Saviors love. I know that my Heavenly Father loves me and my family, and I am so incredibly grateful for the countless blessing that he has bestowed upon my family. There are so many I can't even begin to count. But they are as big as the beautiful acreage we live on, to as small as being able to scrapbook everyday.
I hope you all had a great Sunday and have a great week!
Thanks for taking a look at my blog,

I Am Banana's For You

Day 3 of 14. I left my husband a banana for day 3 and he didn't find it! I left it in the fridge and he woke up late and didn't have time  for breakfast, little does he know if he had opened the fridge he would have had a breakfast on the go! 

So I cut the tag at 3 and 3/4 from lacy labels and used some plain raffia that i smudged with the Holiday Red ink.

Pretty simple stuff. I'll bee posting again tomorrow, and I hope you guys are enjoying these 14 days of Valentine's I know I am having fun with it, and I do hope to get a video up soon.

I also need to know that I did NOT come up with these ideas by myself, I have stolen most of them from Pinterest. And you are more then welcome to follow me! 

Have a great day all and I'll be back tomorrow!

Thanks,

Tina

"You Make My Heart Bounce"

Today was day two of the 14 days of Valentines.

Here was the gift I gave the hubby for day 2. It was a pack of 3 bouncy balls. Basket, soccer, and baseball.
I cut the tag out at 3 inches also from Lacy Labels in a light, and dark pink cardstock. The dark cardstock I wrapped with thread to give it a little something. Then I popped the words up with foam adhesive and distressed them with the CTMH Holiday Red Stamp Pad. I punched a hole off to the side and added some plain gross grain ribbon.
I am having a lot of fun with this and it surprised me, but I like it. I think he is as well.
Happy Valentines guys.
Tina

Day 1

Hey guys,
I decided this year that I am going to do the 14 days of Valentines for my hubby. I never wanted to do it before because I thought it was super cheesy. But this year I had such a hard time figuring out what to get my husband that I decided, to give it a try.
I'm hoping to make a few videos of the making of the tags, but the thing is, I really do live in the boondocks. Meaning, my internet is pretty sad. So I did make a video of a Valentines day card that I made, but I can't get the video loaded. I think it might be too long for my internet to handle.
My internet is about a notch above old school dial-up.
So today was day 1, (obviously)! I made him a tag that said "You are a nice piece of meat" and it was attached to a bag of beef jerky. One of my hubbs favorite snacks.

 I made the tag a little huge, but I liked it. I cut two out at 4 inches with Lacey Labels. One in the shift mode and one without shift. The shifted cut was cut in red and painted with a light layer of white paint, then I distressed the edges with my CTMH edge distresser. I embossed he top layer with the embossing folder block hearts from Provo, Craft. I inked the edges with the CTMH Holiday Red Stamp Pad, as well as the words. I popped the words up with the foam dimensionals, and wrapped some random ribbon around the bottom.
I hope you guys enjoyed the card and have a great Valentines! (=
Thanks,
Tina

WOW it has been way too long since I have posted! The thing is, is that I have been crafting I just haven't posted. 

The Halloween treat boxes that I made last post, (back in October!) were a hit! All the kids liked them. 

Since then I have made some new pages and a few cards here and there. I even tried to make a video of me making the card, but it got lost somewhere between my card and my computer.

This year I really want to start making videos. I know it's hard and there are a ton of people who do them, so who knows if anyone will ever watch mine, but it's worth a shot! I just love crafting so much and  I want to share with anyone who is willing to listen/watch. (= 

So here is my first video, I don't know if you can tell, but I am nervous. I thought I would make it a haul video to start off with, you know something simple! But soon I hope to make a video with me actually crafting! I just don't like hearing myself talk, I sound like a chipmunk, LOL. The thing that makes me most self conscious is my right arm. It is paralyzed, in case you can't tell. So my hand movements aren't as pretty as other crafters in the YouTube world. 

But I am going to try and get over myself and enjoy the fact that I get to share my crafts with anyone willing to learn! 

Hope you all have a great day and an amazing weekend!
