Unique Homemade Valentines Day Gifts

Once upon a time, Valentine’s Day gifts and cards were always handmade.
Valentine’s Day gifts are supposed to be unique, but if you’re not able
to make your Valentines’ gifts yourself, personalized gifts will still
make your loved one feel very special.



To many people, Valentine’s Day wouldn’t be complete if they didn’t receive the traditional chocolates and flowers. If that’s the case for your lover, you might consider giving her chocolates and roses in a more creative way, perhaps by having them delivered to your table at the end of a romantic dinner for two.

 

 If your relationship is a serious one, Valentine’s Day would be the perfect day to make a decision about your future together. Nothing would be more appreciated than an engagement ring for Valentines. Make this year a Valentine’s Day you will remember forever!

Valentine's Day 2012 Gifts Tips

Valentine’s Day gifts should be given from the heart rather than from the wallet. Valentine’s is the day that we devote to your loved ones. It’s the day that we show them how much we really care about them. Let’s see some of the imaginative ways you can say ‘I love you’.

How about a custom chocolate gift for your significant other? You could get photo chocolates, featuring your boy or girl friend as the star. If you’ve got a new mother on your gift list, try a gift basket of lollipops with Baby’s pictures on each treat. Personalized chocolate gifts always seem to be appreciated.

Therefore, since my daughter has just finished her first week of school. I can't believe how quickly my daughter is growing up. Even though she is now in the third grade, I got a bit sad when she started school because I know that I was going to miss her. But, I knew that I was going to see her at the end of the day and during the time that she is in school, I have more free time to scrapbook or do some crafting. So I wanted to create a layout so that I can capture new memories as she entered the Third Grade.

Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge #26

Hello my crafty friends,

Happy Friday!! Wow my week had been full of birthdays. Monday was my Godson's b-day, Tuesday was my moms and today is my favorite cousins b-day. He is having a birthday celebrations today in honor of my mom and him self.  What a great way to start my weekend right? Tomorrow I have a baptism and Sunday I'm having a mommy and daughter time. We are going to go see the Smurfs movie. I cant wait lol.

I would like to share with you guys my most recent project. My sister went to Yosemite couple months ago and just developed her beautiful pictures. She bought a album for them but its to plain. She asked me if I could do something to make it look better. So I told her buy some fabric that has some kind of camping theme to it. So she did and here is what I created. I hope you guys like it!

First I measured and then cut

I ironed the ends. This makes it easier to fold and glue

Now I glue the fabric to the album

This is the album all covered up with the fabric

I cut out the letters from the Don Juan cart at 1 in.

I used the Camping Critters Cartridge

Moose 3 1/2, Mountains at 3 1/2

Bunny at 2 in., Bear tree at 3 1/2 and 2 1/2 in., moon at 2 in.

Im entering my project in the CCCC at http://tatteredtime.com/?p=259 

Theme is using the Campin Critters cart
