Sweet or Savory?

I can't believe Valentine's Day is just over a week away!  Where does the time go?  I mentioned before that I've made some scrappin' friends. We really enjoy getting together when we can. I also love that Mitch goes to crops too.  One Friday he and Dawn went just the two of them.   

 I'm thrilled to be holding my first ever Altered Frap set class on Saturday Feb. 11 at 1pm at Picture This.  I have made two samples and will let them choose which one they want to make.  My creative and clever son Mitch came up with Sweet or Savory as our way to promote the class.  The choices are to make a Valentine's Gift Set or a Picnic Storage set.  I think the picnic storage one is winning out from the ones I've talked to.  

 I filled the Valentine frap bottles with foot soak salts, chocolate and hot cocoa mix.  It's up to your imagination what you can put in the bottles and of course make these gift sets for. Dawn and Mitch are always coming up with new ideas. 

I've been pretty creative lately. On Friday Mitch and Dawn had the day off (they work together) so Mitch went over to her house to see about viruses on her computer and then later we met at Picture This to do some card-making and scrappin'.  I made three whole cards in the time that we were there...but it's just nice to  be able to talk, laugh and relax a bit. Being creative always improves my mood. I will show you the cards I made and Mitch's scrapbook pages.

Love this Unity stamp and the embossing folder

Dawn let me use some of her punches and I punched a lot of paper.   All of a sudden this card came together. Another great Unity Stamp.

I thought it would be great to make a card to go with the Valentine's Gift Set.

Mitch is doing fashion layouts. I think he wants to show his great fashion sense.

 
Well that's it for now. I don't want to overwhelm you with all I've been creating lately.  My neglected blog needs more posts then, don't you think?  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week!

My First Altered Frap Set!

Yeah, yeah I know I'm behind the times. Everyone was making these sets a couple of years ago. I've tried making them in the past, but the carry case was different, so it was a little harder to make and I just didn't like the look. At work Mitch drew names for a gift exchange. He got a gal that likes cocoa. So I thought I'd make this set and have one of the jars have cocoa in it. He also got a pretty red mug with white snowflakes to go with it. I found this wonderful My Mind's Eye Bohemia 2-sided paper last night and it worked out perfectly! I plan on doing another one for the Phase 1 nurses at Karmanos. Tim has to be there for a drug trial on Weds. so it'll be great to give them some goodies just before Christmas! I found quotes online by putting chocolate quotes in a google search. Of course Mitch had to have a movie quote too! Click on each photo to make it larger if you'd like to read the quotes. Let me know what you think. Hope you're having a fabulous weekend. Are you all done with your gifts yet?
