Love Notes

.
Hello Friends

Happy almost Valentine's Day!

Are you one of those people who loves Valentine's day?? or not so much? Me I am in the middle! It is a wee bit too commercial for me. I do like presents though ha :) 

 I wanted to do something a wee but different for my husband this year. I did buy a present for him but also wanted to make something a bit more personal. So I made him a jar of love notes. I saw various forms of this idea on Pinterest but I came up with my own version.

The jar is an empty gelato container. I made a label for it using this distressed stamp from the Trust Your Soul kit. I stamped the LVE in black and heat embossed the heart with red embossing powder. I then layered it on to red and black card. Finally I tied some twine around the lid to finish the outside of the jar.

 I typed up a lots of love notes the top note reads.

 I love you because......


It is followed by lots of wee notes like this that I typed up for him :) I also added some stamped sentiments from the No Remedy For Love kit.  It is a lovely love themed kit that worked perfect for this project.


I hope you like my Jar of Love! Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Unity & Misti Blog Hop

Hello My lovelies :) Welcome to the Unity and Misti blog hop! I  hope you are enjoying seeing all of the projects so far. I just had my first wee play with the Misti tool the other day. It is a very new to me tool and wow do I LOVE it!! It is awesome! Just for the simplest of things like positioning a stamp.  One time is all you need with the Misti!! I am not one of those crafters that gets my stamped images crisp first time. I usually have wasted a card or two before I end up with a perfect image. This tool totally eliminates all of that.  Here is my very first card that I made with the Misti tool and Unity stamps.  I used a stamp called  Scattered Pieces . I LOVE this stamp and the sentiments that come with it.  I positioned the feather and the sentiment at the same time on the Misti.  I totally love that you can do that too!  It lets you stamp several at once instead of just eye b...

Happy Valentine's Day - Craft Stamper Inspiration

Hello my friends happy Valentine's Day!  I made this stamped jar for my inspiration project for the  Craft Stamper Challenge today.  This is my husband's old coffee jar that was heading to the recycling bin. I always like to save them and make something with them.  I gave it a couple of coats of white chalk paint and let it air dry. Next I stamped it with memento ink.  The stamp I used is from Unity called  Smooches and Stuff  by Phyllis Harris.  I just love all of her art work. I let that completely dry then used my alcohol markers to colour it.  While I was at the craft store I found this nice heart kraft ribbon in the Valentine section.  I tied it around the top to finish.  I love the way it turned out. I hope you have some time to come and join in this month's challenge with us.  As always we have wonderful prizes up for grabs.  All of the details ca...
