Happy V-Day to my DGD!

This is a little valentine box and card I made for DGD! She loves to get things "nana" makes! She likes to ask how to do everything I'd done on it too! It's so cute! Just makes my day! I was so tickled to give her this on Sunday at her birthday party!

I'm going to submit it to the Circle for the monthly challenge also which challenged us to Create a handmade gift for a loved one using your Cricut! and use at least 2 cricut images. I used Imagine Christmas Wish gable box and flood filled it with Blast Off's heart paper (same paper I used on the flower pot card!) It doesn't photograph well. I used "Cricut Stamping cart" for the heart border I welded together in the craft room and cut with Colorbok paper from Walmart. The Love heart image and the little card (also filled with same heart paper on 1 of the hearts and a couple of the papers from Imagine More cards. The little conversation hearts, there are 4 of them around the box, are from "Love Struck 2010". The "love" stamp and heart stamp on the card are from Peachy Keen SOTM for January. Love those stamps! Haven't used them as much as I thought I would but its full of angels!! had to have it! This little gable box is fun to work with! I printed the paper first and then cut only on the Imagine! thats the only way I can keep from getting those borders that I don't like the colors! I don't know how they arrive at the colors of the borders they use but they're horrible! This 1 had a blue border! not happenin!
Thanks for stopping by and good luck to all my Circle friends! Prize is $150! Random draw so I have a chance!!

Tada! Finally! I'm finished!

Made lots of changes, good ones I hope you agree and completed last 3 pages! this was soooo much fun! Wanted to get wedding album completed too but was sick for a few weeks and lost lots of scrapbooking time! Here is the total complete book from the front. I've added here the pages you hadn't seen at allyet. then I'll download the other pages that I have added to. did I mention this was sooo much fun! My favorite thing to make I think was the birdcage. I put it on a brad and chain like a hanging birdcage like our birdcage we had as kids and hung from top of page. It opens to journal underneath and its made from Tim Holtz grungeboard with the "patina metal colored Perfect Pearls!" You can't do anything to that little birdcage because that grungeboard is tough!! Cut like a charm with Gypsy and DS. Would not cut from SCAL! I had another birdcage I liked better with SCAL but it never cut the same shape twice and you have to cut that grunge at least 3 times with deep cut blade.
Thanks for visiting and peeking at my gift for my son and his bride-to-be! Did I fail to mention how much fun I had making this!?
