Wood you be mine???

Now that it's officially February, I'm itching to share all the Valentine cards I've been making! This is such a fun set for making cards for the man in your life! My husband has lots of woodchopping in his past, as well as a few lumberjacks in his family history. This set is perfect for him!

It's a photopolymer set, which makes it easy to "layer" the shirt over the main lumberjack image or the forest  images over each other.

Cantaloupe Mini Treat Bag

One of my very favorite items from the Occasions Catalog is the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits set! I love having an easy way to make treat holders, and this one has so many other great bits and pieces!

This mini bag holds a notecard, a "fun size" pack of treats, a gift card, or whatever else you can think of! And what a great way to use up some of that paper stash! It takes 2 pieces of 6 x 12 inch paper--I've used Designer Series Paper, cardstock, and wrapping paper. It's super easy to put together, and I think you'll use this set a LOT!

Yummy baker's twine! I can never get enough of this stuff! And the markers are a great deal, too! I use the "skin tone" Blendabilities for nice shades from brown to ivory!
