Valentines with Hannah

Yesterday afternoon I had the pleasure of helping Hannah (a grade 6 student) design and create 16 Valentines for her friends and family. Hannah, as some of you may remember, debuted on my blog last year in March with a delightful mini-album that she created about her dog Pete.

First we flipped through this book for inspiration:

We found a great little bird card that Alicia Thelin had made on page 17. Hannah took that idea and changed it into a Valentine using a sheep stamp instead. Perfect!

Supplies: Core'dinations cardstock, Jillibean Soup patterned paper, ribbon and kraft, Epson Photo Presentation Paper (stamping), Hero Arts stamp (sheep), October Afternoon stamp (i love ewe!, heart), Tsukineko VersaFine ink, Avery tags, Crayola pencil crayons, EK Success scalloped circle punch, 3L layering tape, Glue Dots.

I made a layout and card over the weekend as well using the *NEW* Core Impressions and will try and post it within the next few days. Stay tuned! Until then, here is a teaser of one of the photos that I used for the layout. It's a shot I took of our neighbour's dog, Hope, when we babysat her a few weeks ago. This was a gift to our neighbours with a promise to take a shot of her in the spring, summer and fall as well....since she's such a cutie pie!
