Close To My Heart Monster Valentines

I know it has been a while since I've posted.  Life is crazy and I just haven't had the time.  But I'm still here and I have a bunch of projects to share with you :)

Today I'll start with the Monster Valentine's my son and I made together using the Close To My Heart Whoo's your valentine kit and a printable that I made using the idea from Sarah over at Repeat Crafter Me.

You can still get this kit for only $10 with a $35 purchase on my website until January 31st or until supplies last.  They are down to only 22% so hurry - you don't want to miss this!  
Here is a free printable for you to use if you decide you want to make them into monsters too :) Click on the Image to download  

We are using the stamp set from the kit to make different Valentine's for my oldest son.  I'll share those when they are finished.  Happy Friday!

Foodie Friends Friday Link Up

• Good Friday Morning!  It has been quite a while since I have blogged due to vacation and Christmas.  I have a ton of projects to photograph and share with you like Super Hero party decorations (my son's birthday party is tomorrow), cards and a few gifts I made but alas there seems to be little time in my life right now to blog.  I will get back on here and share soon!

  
  

  Today I am sponsoring the Foodie Friends Friday Link up (sort of goes with my Feature a Friend series) and in honor of that I decided to share a few food gifts you can make and pretty up using stamps!  

  
  

  

  
  

  I love to use my stamps to decorate for parties making banners and decorating the food tables!  This party on Jeanette Lynton's blog would be perfect for a Spring or Easter themed party.  Find more details here.  

  
  

  

  
  

  And speaking of Easter I love love love these sprinkle labels!  So super cute!!  Details on this project here.   

  
  

  

  
  

  Using stamps and paper to pretty up jars for gifts or even *gasp* chores is fun too!  Find the details here.  

  
  

  

  
  

  In these cold winter months the promise of summer and gardening warms my heart.  I love these canning jar labels!  More details on this project here. 

  
  

  For the Foodie Friday link you have a chance to win one of two stamp sets perfect for decorating your breads, baked goods and other food gifts!  

  
  

  

  
  

  My new facebook friend Cynthia wanted to share a little bit about Foodie Friday Link with you all . . .

  Foodie Friends Friday, is all about sharing great recipes! At present time, we have approximately 120 - 150 recipes linked up per week! Foodie Friends Friday always has a giveaway at each party. It is our small way of saying thanks to those of you who share or just stop by.
  
  I hope you will stop by http://feedingbig.com/ and bring a recipe. The party starts Thursday at 9:00 p.m. EST and lasts through Sunday at midnight. If you don't have a recipe to share, get ready to pin some! I know you will find at least one recipe you can't do without. Oh yeah, while there, sign up to win one of Elizabeth's stamp sets. You don't have to link up a recipe, or have a blog.
  
  Again, thanks Elizabeth. I look forward to meeting new friends and finding new recipes."
