If I Only Had a Heart

I do have a heart. However, not for long. Donna has claimed this one for a friend.

I had this song in my head as I was creating this. Ha Ha Ha, now you will too;)

When a man's an empty kettle,
He should be on his mettle,
And yet I'm torn apart.
Just because I'm presumin'
That I could be kind-a human
If I only had a heart.
Now I know I've got a heart... 'Cause it's breaking.



Here is a link to a previous post on an altered heart tin.

Tutorial found on Thinking Inking.

Just NUTS

I have PILES of retired dp along with Totes of alterable items so I used some of them. OMGoodness. I know. I used some of my Hoarded stash so out of character.

Emily Giovanni has the best tutorial out for these mailboxes you can find the tutorial here


I am playing around with an opacity effect in this post. What do you think?




This is my FAVORITE mailbox of the day. I totally went NUTS on this. So darn cute;)


"God gives the NUTS but he does not CRACK them." LOL, I love it! Script is computer generated.


I learned a HUGE hard lesson in 2010 about living today you don't know what tomorrow will be. This is the script on the front reads..."You gotta go NUTS you never know how long this is going to last".


This is the final side it says, "Here is to all the NUTTY things we have done". Sorry for the crappy pics need to drag my camera with me to town and have it serviced :(


The girls want one of each...I must be doing something right. LOL!

Shabby Ribbon Valentine Wreath Tutorial

Above is the first shabby wreath I made to coordinate with Grab A Cup Valentine and the Tea Party Card. Ribbon for this project is from Michaels.

Below I am going to show you a traditional red/white heart.
Step 1: Make your heart form.
I used paper wrapped flower stems (what I had on hand) you can use a coat hanger or wire.


Step 2: Secure your heart form with floral tape.


Step Three: Cut your ribbon to 6" Lengths.
Step Four: Start tying on your ribbon, leaving no space between ties.


For the center I had some heart shape make your own ornaments I filled the one below with heart shape ribbon. Would also look really cute with colored sugar, red hots etc.
Step 5: Tie on your center focal point, this tie also becomes your hanger.
Here is the finished Ribbon Valentine Wreath, this one will hang on our cabinet;)


Product list...
Paper Wrapped Wire floral Stems
White floral tape
ribbon Michaels, pti, SU
Silver string SU
PTI Red/White bakers twine
DCWV paper
cricut Expression
cricut wild card cartridge
Heart create an ornament Hobby Lobby

Happy Stamp Day. God Bless!
