Valentine Wall Art Project

One of my favorite things about Valentines day is being able to dress my house up in red and pink without having any of the men (my husband and son) objecting to it!

I love the mini spinners that Stampin up offers and try to find different ways to use it.
I decided to take an 6x6 shadow box that I bought on clearance at a dept store over the holidays and put Stampin" Ups Sale-A-Bration paper into it with punch circles that had different sentiments or pictures but they all related to LOVE!

Stamps: Grateful Greetings (116511), delightful dozen (122650 W, 122652 C), Sprinkled Expressions (125130W, 125132C)*, Elementary Elegance (125120 W, 125122 C)*
Paper: Everyday Enchantment (126154)*, Very Vanilla (101650)
Ink: Soft Suede (109010), Calypso Coral (122939), Lucky Limeade (122935), Pool Party (122938)

Hello all, I just realized I never posted some of the projects we did at my open house on January 27th.  A few stampers and I created a Perpetual Calendar.  I was thrilled that they loved it- and it was a quick and easy project.    I trul love getting together chatting and creating in the process!




Afterwards we created these cards:


How sweet are these?  These are created with Stampin Up's treat cups with a little door inside the card.  The ribbon holds the door in place, so you recipient does not have to tear the card apart to get to the candy!

As you may have seen from previous posts, I am co-hosting an All Day Crop next month.  I have to start preparing for it.  So I am asking all of you- What do you like about All Day Crops? 
What type of classes do you enjoy?

Best Wishes,
Lydia
