Friday Craft Time

Yesterday after I got back form the gym, where I burned 700 calories by the way, and finished my chores, I decided to start making more cards.

I made this cute little card for Matt that I plan to give to him on Valentines day. I am kind of embarrassed becuase it isnt my best work. It was more of a fast throw together and doesnt really match all that well, but Matt wont know the difference.

It is a tri-fold that is folded like 5 times? so would that make it a 5-fold?


When you open it up, there are 4 pockets. Each pocket has a heart in it and on each heart, I wrote why different notes on "Why I love you"


After I wrote on each heart and placed them into there pockets, I punched a hole in the front and tied it up with a ribbon.

After I got done with that I started making adorable little gift tags!!

Arent these cute?? I have about 8-18 of each one there.

I plan to get some stamps and dress them up a bit.

A few days ago we decided to bring the leather chair up from our living space int he basement, since we never sit down there, and bring it up to the living room. Before, that end of our livingroom was just bare and empty (to me)

Before

Now, it looks cozy! I want to sit in that chair and read now!

After

I also added hung some white plates on the bare walls in the dining area.
