Better Late than Never? Valentine's Cards

A few weeks late, but here are a few Valentine's Day cards that I made for my daughter's ballet teachers. They are both so sweet!

I chose to do a dry emboss with my Cuttlebug machine. I used the Hearts Embossing folder, as well as the Swiss Dots Embossing folder.

Hope that you like them!

Thank You!!

I wanted to say Thank You to everyone who wished me Well Wishes and Prayers. It means more to me than you know.

I had some tests last week and am now on some medication. So, I am beginning to feel a lot better. They still haven't pin pointed what's wrong with me, but at least there is something to do to help. I have another test next week, just to rule out anything serious, but I am starting to feel back to normal and will hopefully be back and better than ever soon!

Thanks again to everyone that has sent thoughts my way!! I can't believe how fabulous you all are!

Going MIA for A While

I just wanted to let everyone know that you may not see me around the blogosphere for a while.

I have had some health issues that I have been dealing with and it is just starting to get to be too much. Hopefully I will have some answers these upcoming weeks, but until then I may not be posting alot.

I will still have my Cooking with Cricut DT posts on Wednesday's and I may throw in a post here and there of stuff that I have already done, but I have not had the energy to really create a whole lot right now.

Thanks to all my followers and I hope to be back up and running soon!

Sweet Shop Blog Hop - Day 2

If you missed my post from yesterday with all the Hop Info go HERE...and if you want to start at the beginning of the hop from yesterday go HERE (there are lots of great projects and goodies).

Welcome to the 2nd day of the Sweet Shop Blog Hop!!

You should have just come from Michelle at Purple Monkey Moments and if so you are in the right place. If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our fun hop, you can go to CookingWithCricut.com and start at the beginning HERE.

So, here is the project that I made for today. I used my YourStory Photo for this project.

The first thing that I did was cut a Cheerios box up into 5 - 5x7 pieces of cardstock using my Fiskars trimmer. It worked much better to cut them then I thought.

The next things that I did was cover each of the 5 pieces with Valentine's paper, front and back.

Next, I cut out a square at 4.25 x 4.25" from the Plantin cartridge and made it into a little pocket that I adhered to each of the pages on the right side. I then cut out tags at 2.78 x 4" for each of the pockets using the Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More cartridge and hole punched them and tied a ribbon on them.

After I had the pockets and tags assembled I cut out a few of the images from the Sweethearts cartridge in black to accent the pages.

On each of the tags I plan on writing a little note to my husband for Valentine's Day (sorry folks, you don't get to see those).

On the left side of the booklet I am planning on putting some pictures of the two of us along with some pictures that my kids have drawn.

The cover I also made using the Sweethearts cartridge (Couple Standing @ 1.87 x 4", the Perfect Pair @ 3 x 3.39"), my NEW i-Rock to add some bling and my cuttlebug and hearts folder.

Hope that you enjoyed my project, now head over to Raven's blog, Love 4 Stamps, and see what she has in store for you! Remember before you go to leave a comment on my blog to win the fabulous prize that I am giving away tomorrow (comment on yesterday's post for an extra chance to win).

Here is the beautiful cutting file that Melin has given to me for a prize:
