50's Sweethearts Mailboxes

Here are a few more mailboxes that I made for my niece to give to her teachers for Valentines Day.   For these, I used the new digital image from The Greeting Farm called 50's Sweethearts.  I just love this new image.  Don't they remind you of Danny and Sandy from Grease?  Too cute!!!!

Each mailbox had a bunch of wrapped Hershey's Nuggets (like the ones I had in my other mailbox post).  I used DP from Basic Grey's Bittersweet and Scarlett's Letter line.

Having Tea with Pretty Hat Anya

I wanted to do a non-traditional gift for a friend, co-worker or teacher for Valentine's Day.  A little something to say "I Love You" or "I appreciate You" without all the mushy stuff.  Some people might feel weird giving their co-workers something with hearts and the word "love" on it.  Anyhow, this is a tea packet dispenser that one can keep on her desk.  It's so cute and since it doesn't have the traditional Valentines Day theme, they could use it all year long and can be given for many other occasions.  I used the Pretty Hat Anya stamp and once again I made use of my Basic Grey paper.  This dispenser stands about 6" tall.

Here is an upclose view of her pearl necklace.  I used white pearlstuds from Kandi Corp.

Not sure if you remember but I made this box in an earlier post.  I just changed it up a bit to turn it into a dispenser.  You can see that post here.

Baby Booties

Hi everyone!  Sorry I have been MIA for a while.  I was sick like a dog and didn't get around to doing much of anything.  For those of you that are waiting for more Valentine's Day projects, I will be uploading more photos within the next couple days.  Anyways, while I was sick I had to work on these darling little baby bootie favors for a baby shower I will be going to on Sunday.  My friend is having a baby girl and that gave me a chance to use a lot of my Basic Grey papers.  I just love the soft vintage look these papers gave to the booties.  I filled each bootie with wrapped assorted Hershey Nuggets.

These were fun to make (I made 40 of em') but it was very time consuming, after seeing the end result, I guess it was well worth it! LOL!  

Sweet Love Letters

I have been waiting a while to post this project.  Do you remember when we were in grade school and the teachers would let us make these boxes to put all of our Valentine's Day cards in, and we would get all these sweet little cards and treats from our friends? Well, with that in mind I have been on the hunt for these cute little mailboxes and I finally got them in!  My best friend lives in Texas so I had her raid all the Target's she could find.  She bought whatever she could get her hands on and sent them to me!  This is the first one I made.  This cute little monkey is from The Greeting Farm's Sweet Deal set.  Isn't he stinkin' cute?  I wrapped some Hershey's Nuggets in DP from My Minds Eye to fill it with.  The mailbox is metal and both of the doors open.  It measures about 5" x 3".  I'll be making much more since I have orders for them already so I'll post those pictures in a later post. 

Cupcake Gable Boxes

Remember those gable boxes from an earlier post?  Well, I down sized them a bit to make them the perfect size to hold cupcakes.  I included an insert to set the cupcake in so that they won't slide.  I used the cute little cupcake image from The Greeting Farm's Sweet Deal set.

Just a Little Eye Candy

              
         

It totally slipped my mind that my kids last day of school is today!  Well, they go on a three week intercession break so they won't be there on Valentine's Day.  My daughter reminded me lastnight and I realized that I had not finished all the gifts they wanted for their friends.  My sweet husband cooked dinner for me so I could get cracking on these gifts for them.  They both wanted me to make these Lollipop Along boxes so I thought I'd just share with you all of the different designs.  Enjoy!

Floral Lollipop Along

I just love these Lollipop Along holders as you will see in the next two posts (and one I did the other day!)  I wanted to do different versions of it to show how versitile it can be and also to show you that you can alter pretty much any template to make it your own.  I will be making more of these because my daughter wants to give them to her friends for Valentine's Day and I want to make each one of them different.  Make sure you scroll down because I have 3 posts today.
