Proud Mom

I've been back in the land of paper this week and I have to confess, it feels good. Of course, my laundry's not getting done, but who needs clean clothes when it's -19 out, right? Just go naked!

I spent a good chunk of my Sunday scrappin' and making Valentines for my kids. I got to thinking how expensive it is to buy character valentines, when I can just as easily have them make cards out of bits of unwanted paper in my crap craft room. This is a win-win-win proposition:
1) I get rid of unwanted paper from my hoard
2) I save precious pennies on commercial valentines
3) I get to spent a quality hour with each of my kids

This is my darling daughter, Adina, working on her valentines. I came up with the basic design (glitter heart on circle on scallop circle on card). She picked the colours. She has a bit of a weakness for pink.







And here's a close up of her finished cards








How cute are they!?

Surprisingly, I was also able to rope my non-crafty son, Rowan, into making his Valentines as well. Here's Rowan hard at work.







And here's Rowan's finished card. I managed to pick up the "Hockey Lover" stamp in the cheapie bin at the M-store.










I'm such a proud mumma!
