A Valentine's challenge 2024

Handmade by Tanya R.

 Hello everyone, 

It's been another snowy day here on the West coast, so I took some time to enjoy working in my craft room.  I just completed a difficult year-end at work, so making a card clears my head and brings me joy. I decided to follow the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #619, and then saw the color challenge from The Color Throwdown challenge #776. My third challenge is from Tic Tac Toe challenge blog # 239 with the top row across: Heart, embellishment, and Pink.

Thanks for stopping by. I know I haven't posted on here for quite awhile because I have been using my Instagram (t.made.gallery) as well to post.  

Valentine's treat bag

Hi everyone, 

Again I have been slacking on my blog and I am not proud of that.  I did do a lot of Christmas cards, but never got around to posting them as work has been very busy.  Already we are into February and Valentine's day.  I don't usually do much for Valentine's day, but I had this gift idea and had to try it.  I think it's a great idea for someone that loves to relax in the bathtub with a couple of candles.  And who doesn't like a little treat while your in there.  BTW, the little jar is bath confetti.  The cupcake stamp is from Michael's and is embossed with pink, red, and gold powders.

Blog challenges that I am entering with this project:

The Friday Mashup #242 - We have heart.

Crafting for all seasons challenge - love is in the air

Crafty Calendar Challenge - love is in the air

Cute Card Thursday - Sweet Valentine

Thanks for stopping by and I wish everyone a Happy Valentine's day.

Valentine treats

Hi everyone, 

Well, it's been a slow start to 2015 in the way of crafting.  This is my first project of the year.  I purchased this milk carton die from Sizzix for a totally different project, but sadly, never got around to it, so I am glad to turn it into a treat box for Valentine's day.  I am going to take these three to work for my co-workers.

I think this die will work wonderfully for Easter treats too!  I hope you have a nice Valentine's with the one(s) you love.
Thanks for stopping by.
