This project was great for using up a lot of the 12x12 white paper I had that wasn't SU. I also used a few sheets of non SU colored paper as well. The hearts were cut with the hearts framelits and I used my trimmer to cut the slots for the pencils. I stamped some hearts on the labels using pretty in pink and then printed the sentiment using a wp program on my computer. It says "Valentine, you have the WRITE stuff!"
I usually try to do 2-3 posts a week and last week I barely managed one! If it wasn't for scheduling posts ahead of time, my Monday post wouldn't have made it! It was one of those weeks that reminds me of being trapped on a carnival ride going out of control. I wanted to yell "Stop this ride! I want to get off!" but instead I just closed my eyes, held on, and hoped for a new week! I had parent-teacher conferences, field trips, and Valentines parties at work. Then there was Girl Scout cookie booths, music practice at church, a birthday party to prepare for, and a house that looked like a cyclone hit it! This did not include the cards I needed to finish, the gift bags for my sister's patients that needed to be put together and dropped off, and the SU club projects I needed to prepare... This week is not looking like it will be much better, but next weekend, I get a mini vacation! I'm counting the days!
Ohhhhh, I get it..."the 'write' stuff"....Hahahahaha, that's wonderful! These are fantastic and I can't believe you stuck it out to make 30 of them! I'm with you though, let's jump off this Valentine train. I'm foo-foo'd out. :)
ReplyDeleteThese turned out great- and using my fav tool, those Framelits! I like the sentiment too. Yeah, I went OVERboard on Valentines too... now to think... Easter??? :)

I have to say I am secretly glad that we don't "do" Valentine's in the same way you do, over the pond....all that work! They do look absolutely adorable, though...well done!
ReplyDeleteNow.....breathe.........
Margaret this is the cutest! what a creative idea! i could see this as a treat for just about all holidays with easter eggs and shamrocks :) super cute!!
ReplyDeleteMargaret, these heart pencil holders are just fab! I love the 'write stuff' saying!
ReplyDeleteWow, you have been so busy, hope you find some time to rest, relax and recharge! Ruth x
Too cute.... I do NOT need the heart framelits, no I don't but your project makes it all the more tempting to cave and buy them =)
ReplyDeleteDon't sweat not posting so often, we all know how busy life can be. Hugs =)
I had one of those carnival ride weeks too - I am so glad it's Friday! I am very impressed with your creativity here and wow, what a wonderful teacher you are to make them all for your pre-schoolers.

Great Valentines idea....the hearts are really cute and I like how you were able to give them something other than candy!!
ReplyDeleteThese turned out absolutely adorable!!
ReplyDeleteCute little treats!! I love how you used those pencils. I will have to remeber this too. I hope you've had a better week so far. It's been way to crazy at my house too the last few weeks and my poor blog has been suffering. lol
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I totally hear you on the rollercoaster. Thank goodness I have school vacation this week so I can catch up on everyone's posts and get some of my own up! :) Cutie-patootie valentines!
