Valentine Treats...

Happy ALOHA Friday!!! ooh, can't wait to start my 3 day weekend... okay maybe not... i don't count Monday as a do nothing day... it's gonna be a busy one... anyway, i hope you all enjoy the last day of the week and are ready as ever to get your groove on for the weekend!

here's my episode of Wild Card Wednesday at CA&F on a Friday... LOL... this week the challenge is issued by their guest designer Lysa and boy did she throw out a great challenge... Lysa wants to see you create those Valentine's treats! perfect for me to get my buns moving on my Vday creations... but, in the midst of creating my 1st one, i think i threw my shoulder out cause boy does it hurt... thankfully the DH wrapped it for me... should be better today... here's a pix of both creations as i made 2 for this challenge... the mailbox was my first, but i didn't like it very much so i decided to make something else...
this double pix of the mailbox just shows it with the flap closed and the bottom pix of the flap open with the goodies sticking out... my concept was there, it just didn't turn out the way i really wanted it to... still think it's cute though... i didn't follow any patterns... it was basically free hand... used some scrap, cut it down to the size i wanted and then bent the heart DP over some solid CS... cut a strip of scrap CS and used a heart nestie for the flag...i like this one better... i used the biggest heart nestie for the base... then cut strips of plain CS to hold the 2 hearts together and then just decorated the outsides... on the front i used a 2 size smaller heart nestie and then adhered Little Pink Anya (my version of little red riding hood, LOL) using pop up glue dots... punched out some hearts that i layered to use for the front and the back... also use the tiny hearts to glue here and there... on the back i did the same thing except for the extra heart nestie in place of the image... to and from will fit perfectly on the round edges of the red heart.... too bad i couldn't find it in my signature set... well i have the from, don't know where the to went... inside this treat holder i stuffed some conversation hearts that are individually wrapped... mmmm, sweetness...

Both Alice Anya and Little Red (or Pink) Anya is from the Signature set available at TGF.... these Anya's fit perfect on small treats and so forth...

Thank you everyone for your get well wishes... your comments really put the extra light in my days... so happy to have such caring and thoughtful friends!! although i'm feeling much better (sick wise) now my arm is in pain! LOL... gosh does it ever end.... hope it heals up soon, don't want to waste a good weekend mending my arm... Wish you all a HAPPY day and i'll chat with you all again soon!!! Huggies!!

    I'm in awe of how much you get done Kris and it's probably because you are moving faster than a speeding bullet that you hurt your shoulder!;) I hope it mends soon so you can craft easily this weekend!

  10. Wow Kris, these are both just adorable. Great work as always. I have been up since 5:30 and I have only made one card let alone two projects. I hope I get my mojo soon....lol..I really hope your shoulder calm down for you. What a bummer to have free time(like there ever really is such a thing) and then not feet too hot to get anything done. Hugs and prayers, Lisa
