Cards to fill the Tins

A few post back I showed some pictures of tins i made for my sister to give as Christmas presents. Well here are some of the cards that i made to put inside the tins. Enjoy.

Snow 2010

Okay so I got on facebook the other day and a friend of mine had posted some pictures she took of the Snowstorm 2010. About halfway through i saw this picture she took of a Cardinal in the snow covered trees and i got inspired. First of all the photo made me think of my Grandma Scherder. She absolutely loved birds. I miss her everyday and when i saw that picture it truly brought a smile to my face. So thank you Melissa for taking this beautiful photo and all the other ones you took that put a smile on my face even after being stuck in my house for over a week.

Isn't this a beautiful picture?

Here is the layout i made inspired by and using Melissa's photos. Thanks again Melissa.

Valentine's

Yesterday the man in brown came to my house with a large box full of Stampin' Up. Last night I stayed up way past my bed time making Valentines. I made little baggies for the girls to take to school if they ever go back to school. (if you haven't heard we here in NOVA have been snowed in for almost a week) I also made a special Valentine for the love of my life.

This is the Valentine for the boys. I used red for the boys and the goodies inside are sports themed.

This is the Valentine for the girls. I used pixie pink and it is filled with heart themed things.

So for Christmas my husband got me this beautiful ring. It didn't fit when it came so i had to wait until last week to actually get to start wearing it but it came in a little box with a pretty blue bow on it. I loved the bow so much i couldn't throw it away and my husbands wonderful present became the isperation for his valentine.

This is the valentine I made Denno and the bow is the bow that my ring was wrapped in. I know it isn't traditional valentine colors but i think it is perfect for my man.
