A Scrappy Valentines

Okay, now I do love my chocolate.  But sometimes, there are a few treats that might be as good as a piece of chocolate (at least on the days that I’m watching my calories LOL).  Take a look at this visual goodness!!  Isn’t it a fun treat for a scrapper?

And here’s a little tag I made.  I saw the idea as a premade one for sale at twopeasinabucket.com  But for $4, I made my own.  About 12 cents in materials and 20 minutes.

I’m all over the board today, and have one random tip.  We made some Valentine cards with my kids yesterday.  When I started making them, there were supposed to be 16 kids at the party.  By the time we finished, the list had doubled and I was wishing we had gone more simple!  But I did use a little trick I wanted to share.  I’m sure it’s not original, it’s too simple to be an original thought.  When you have multiple cuts to make that need to be spaced evenly, I apply a bit of ATG adhesive to the backside of my die, adhere it to one of the plates and then use that for quick placement for the cuts.

I just have to share this picture, I love how she is sticking her tongue out in concentration as she signed all her cards!  Made me smile.

mmm...I'll take that scrappy goodness over chocolate! Or maybe that's just because it's early morning and I'm not quite ready for chocolate? Lol...
Great tag- and love the photo of your daughter. Adorable.

I agree with Erin. I like my chocolate but it can get to be a bit much. Cute pic of your daughter.
