tuesday

hope everyone had a lovely weekend! I was typing that today was monday- but yeah- I was thrown off by the holiday so we had a long weekend.
I'm just sharing the items I made for my family this weekend. some super quick and simple cards, and gifts. we kept Valentines small this year.
this is the card I made my hubby- like crazy. just found this scrap piece of paper from WRMK and embossed some devine swirls on some kraft cardstock, punched a heart from some swiss dots paper and added my button and handwriting.
this was Alizabeth's card, the papers are SEI and bobunny, I cut some scallops into the bobunny, added a punched heart and some MAMBI gem letters, ontop of swiss dots embossed paper.

this card was for Annalise, I used some bobunny paper with the SEI stripe, added on the sage cardstock swiss dots embossed paper, and some bobunny sticker letters. I punched the heart from a scrap and added on this MAMBI gem frame.
instead of wasting paper ( think green) by wrapping up some chocolate heart boxes, I added tags over top of the sticker- which you can kinda see here. I used some embossed paper and Bobunny stickers and letters.







I put DH's gift in this bag a black bag I added some embossed paper, some K&Co stickers and some bobunny letters.


lastly I am sharing the ginormous chocolate chip cookie I made. I made my regular recipe of chocolate chip cookies- I've shared it here before. then spread it way out on an airbake cookie sheet, ontop of a piece of parchment paper- you do this and you will never have brown cookie bottoms again ( unless you burn them! LOL)
then I decorated it with my decorator bags, the cookie was lumpy and writing words on it was pretty hard- next time I'll smooth it out better. but the cookie was delicious and we sent some home with Alizabeth's friend- as it was wayyy too big for all of us to eat. I liked that it stayed soft and didn't get crunchy and hard.
looks professional doesn't it- I swear it's homemade!
have a wonderful week!
