VALENTINE FOR HIM

HHeeeelllllloooooo!

How's everybody doin' today?

I am so sure you know about our awesome Challenge Blog, and our latest challenge is Red Heart/Golden Festival. I made a Valentine for My Husband for the challenge with mostly products from the Altered Pages Store. It is hard to find masculine Valentines so I thought this Valentine I made would be super cute and not too girly.

I started with a Library Pocket and tag and painted them with Niji Pearlescent Watercolor Paints. To the pocket, I stamped an Italian Poetry stamp over it. I put the GoldScroll on the bottom, the Kraft Calendar with the date circled above that and the Pen Nib pointing to it. Pretty and still masculine, I think.

The tag was stamped with bubble wrap in red ink. Then, I stamped the jar and the "I love You". The Hearts I stamped on white paper with red ink and cut them out. I put them inside the jar with foam dots.

So that's my masculine valentine. Maybe not completely masculine, but I think it is perfect for my Valentine!!

Have an awesome day!! And please check out our store for all of these items (I left a link for everything I used), and join us on the Challenge Blog this month! There are PRIZES!!!

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
