Valentine's Day projects

I cannot believe it's February already. Last year this time, I was in Florida relaxing by the pool! Not this year, as the NC temps have been oddly colder than normal :( I will survive, as long as I have my projects that keep me inside where it's warm :)
Gabby and I made some Valentine treat bags for some family & friends this year. Nothing fancy, just a little treat that we put together using small zip-lock bags, card stock, ribbon, and Valentine's foam sticky hearts.

This is a cute little diaper fold pouch that I saw on a SCS tutorial page and had to make it! It was surprisingly very easy, quick, and is great for sticking little treats in, coupons, photo's, small gifts, or about anything you want. I made it for my MIL and put some coupons in it. This was made using my fav, Heidi Grace DSP, chip board embellishments, brads, a heart shaped paper clip, paper scorer, and 2 magnets. I added the magnets to the back so she could hang this on her fridge :) I'm happy how this turned out, and will definately be making these often as gifts for the army wives in DH's company!





This is the clip board calendar I made for Matt's Grandmother using Heidi Grace DSP, (I LOVE Heidi Grace!!) chipboard, Heidi Grace embellishments, ribbon, & brads, medium metal clip, & Always Artichoke Stampin' Up! ribbon. I printed the calendar from the Red Castle website. I've been having a lot of fun using my Zutter Bind It All. So far, I have made 2 memory books, a birthday reminder/card organizer book, & a recipe book. It's sort of a trial and error for me, but I think I am finally getting the hang of it. I hope the people I made them for like them :)




I made this greeting card organizer for Matt's Grandma. Sorry about the picture quality, this was taken with my cell phone camera :) I used Heidi Grace DSP, card stock, embellishments, ribbon, BIA, and printed the calendars from the Red Castle website.


























This is the medium memory book I made. This was the first project I attempted with my BIA, so yes, it's got some imperfections :) I used the Heidi Grace DSP, black ribbon, Live-Love-Laugh stamp from Stampibilities (I think), my Zutter bind it all with 3/4" wire, and various embellishments to decorate the inside. This was a 8 x 6 memory book.
