Conversation Hearts from Love Struck 2010 |
I have been looking at a lot of blogs lately. I try to look at a few everyday and they provide me with so much inspiration that I think I have ideas for everyday of the week (if only I had time to craft everyday of the week)! One of the things I have really enjoyed seeing this Valentine's season is all the ideas for treat bags, candy wrappers and fun boxes.

XOXO cut with Cuttlebug Love Language |
I decided that I wanted to make some Valentine treats as well. I had seen awesome treat bags and figured I could make those as well. GreenGirl Scraps had adorable rainbow ones and My Pink Stamper made a great video of the bags she made. I watched it and was inspired to try this as well. I made 87 bags, in the end, and I had so much fun doing it. It took me most of the day and I am pretty sure I will not be getting 2 pages done for my 2-A-Week Challenge this week, but they are all set and ready to bring to work tomorrow for my co-workers (I had planned to make 6-10 bags, but once I got started I just could not seem to stop).

Gypsy Wandering Hearts |
I explored my Cricut cartridges for hearts and picked the ones I liked best and I used my Cuttlebug a lot for these. I wanted each bag to look special and embossing really adds that extra touch to a project. I also used some Cuttlebug cuts for these bags. I feel like I finally have a sense of what my Cuttlebug can do after making all these bags. I also played with sand paper to bring out the white core on some of my card stock (something I had never done before). It has been such great crafting therapy for me.

I plan on submitting a few of the designs into different challenges I have seen this week so wish me luck that I get to be the winner of some type of treat. I have so much fun seeing all the projects people submit to the challenges and I am happy most blogs use a random selection to pick a winner because I love what people create. Have a wonderful week and Happy Valentines Day to all!!
