Video ~ Front And Center~ Look At These Lovely Ideas!

I thought I would share a video that Close To My Heart put on youtube called "Front And Center". They used a fun stamp set called "Crafted With Love" (B1399). In the video they show you how you can use this set for either the back of a card / gift to let the person who gets the card / gift know who made it...or how you can use it on the front to show them they are loved. So, check out the video for some cute ideas!

Valentine's Day Little Candy Bags ~ Cute And Simple!

I thought I would share these cute little candy bags I made with the Cricut. My son wanted little cards for his classmates to give out at the Valentine's Day party on Tuesday. So, we made the red hearts that I attached to the front of the bags. We used a stamp set that is retired for the saying. He signed the back with from: and put his name. He loved watching the hearts get cut with the Cricut...and I loved how fast the project was to put together. I then made two bags for each of my children so they can give them to their teachers. I kept them simple since we didn't have a ton of time to get them together but wanted a gift to let the teachers know we care. (In the photo I covered the bottom of the bag where they put their name...so those pieces of paper won't be there when they give the gifts.) Cute and simple! And, the candy is the colorful little heart candies with sayings on them...if you're wondering.

Quote Book ~ Quotes To Add To Your Book ~ Sunny Songs

I thought I would do the quotes today to add to your quote book...

~"Grab your coat, and get your hat, leave your worry on the doorstep, just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street." (Dorothy Fields)   

~"Who cares about the clouds when we're together? Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather." (Dale Eveans Rogers)  

~"Always look on the bright side."

~"I've seen fire and I've seen rain, I've seen sunny days I thought would never end, I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought I'd see you again." (James Taylor)  

~"Was a sunny day, not a cloud was in the sky, not a negative word was heard, from the people passing by." (Paul Simon)
