~ I Love Us ~
February 4th, 2011 by Holly McMillen
Hi friends!
Ok, so I know that Valentines day is a Hallmark created event that is meant to sell their cards and gifts. What I never expected was to agree with one of their ad campaigns. Have you see it? I love us. Yeah, they are now pushing the idea that Valentine’s Day is not a day to say “I love you” but rather “I love us”. I love that idea…LOL.
This is my week for the fun and festivities over on the There She Goes blog. I did a challenge on Monday, a tutorial on Wednesday and now I did this Dollar Find Friday project today.
I started with this cute little bucket from the Target dollar spot. I covered it with material and ribbons. Slapped a sentiment on the front, wrapped the handle in ribbon and filled this baby with lots of chocolate!
Who’s getting this? One of the boys’ girls…… no fair, huh? 🙂
All I know is that it had better leave my desk soon or it’s going to get eaten!
Here are my deets:
Stamps: There She Goes’ Buckets of Love
Colors: GP White
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Real Red
Accessories: pink gingham material, heart brads, valentine themed cellophane, sticky tape, 1 1/4″ crocheted lace, 7/8″ white lace, 3/8″ red velvet ribbon, ribbon scraps,

That’s it for me today. I love us!!!
Hugs 🙂

Beautiful project!!! I will try to remember this for 2/2012. I only need to make 13 just for grandbabies:):):). TFS
That’s all I can say. You most definitely have made this blog into something that’s eye opening and important.
