Sealed with a Kiss- the Idea Room

I love the Idea Room blog, and these little spots are just so cute!

I had to repost...to share...and for when I need to be able to find them quick! Adorable!

Valentine's Pencils--from Cookies and Cups

When I saw these, I loved them! Cookies and Cups is a cutie pie fabulous blog!

She used Mentos, but another girl used Rolos!! How cute in the world!

I am totally thinking I might give these a whirl....Check out her blog...if you don't follow her...duh...you should!

Some love for our local service men and women!

Now, please don't get me wrong....I am all for supporting our soldiers....but all too often, we forget about the ones who serve us right here in our back yard. I mean,literally, our fire station is about 3/4 mile from my house. I run by it almost every day!

So, part of our Valentine's celebration this year included making treats for our firemen.

And, yes, of course I used my SLICE! I used the Basic Shapes card to cut this cute little heart button, and the tag to go on!


Then, tied some tuile and tada! So simple, yet, so perfect!

I love these Military Sweetheart candies this year! They were great for this project! Then, on the way to school one morning we dropped them off at the Fire Station!

Good times!

My heart wreath!

What I used:

• Foam Heart Wreath
• Straight Pins
• Red Felt (approx. 1/3 yd)
• Scissors
• Something to use as a template (coffee cup!)

Oh, I just knew when I saw it that I had to make one of these!

I saw it in the square version, but I had to have it in a heart shape. I have since seen them online, but here's mine!


I started with red felt.....um, I bought a yard (totally not necessary!) but 1/3 would have been plenty!

Then, I used a coffee cup, about 3 1/4 inches, to make my circle template. I traced it with a sharpie, and you may not like to see the sharpie trace on your circles, but I like how it turned out.

I cut them out, probably 60 or so.

Then, here's how to make the fold. Fold the circle in half. Then in half again (I used a really good looking model to help me with this one!)


Then, using straight pins, I stuck them through the fold, and then into the heart wreath form.

Covered it up, filled in the gaps, and tada!!!

Here's my good looking model showing off the finished product.
