Valentine cards


Here is a pic of my daughter with the Valentines she made for her friends in daycare and her "home" friends. How cute are these Aces? Some have yet to be delivered. but they'll get there. She was all about the pink, red & hearts!

Until next time...

Arrrgh!

I got a Gary Fong light diffuser for Christmas. I haven't used it much and was hoping to try it out. Well, I tried it out today taking a few pictures of my daughter with her Valentine's cards. It didn't work like I thought it should. Or rather, to be more accurate, I wasn't happy with the results. Need to take more photos and practice, practice, practice!

Fun weekend but minimal crafts

Avery and I went swimming on Friday morning and then made cookies in the afternoon. We tried to go to London on Saturday but turned around due to the blizzard (the one that everyone is joking was supposed to have come last Wednesday). We spent a good portion of Sunday digging out, and had a visit from my Mom & Dad. Apparently more snow is coming tomorrow with temps dropping to -22C with the wind chill. Let's hear it for crunchy snow!

I have been searching and searching for valentines for Avery to make. She did such a good job last year making lollipop flowers (thanks to my Cricut Expression). I finally found these cute cards--literally playing cards. Of course, using my Cricut Expression, P-Touch label maker and an 'A' letter stamp I was able to assemble all the necessary pieces for Avery to make these cute greetings. We just started gluing tonight; tomorrow more gluing and stamping. Pics to follow!

Until next time...
