Happy Valentines Day!

I saw this idea in a Making Memories Book - Decorate Life: Celebrations and I knew it would be perfect for Valentines Day. In the book, they put them in a box, but I decided to just tie them together. I put M's favorite chocolate bar (Symphony) inside. Anyway, hope M likes it. This would be easily adaptable for an anniversary, or even a sweet Christmas gift, or to show your kids how much you love them (maybe in mini size candy bars -- just thinking out loud here). Make sure you take the time to give love and tell the people that mean the most to you that you love them. Happy Valentines Day!

Paper: Die Cuts With a View (DCWV) Sweet Collection, Solar Crest White (Neenah) Ink: Onyx Black Versafine, Tempting Turquoise Classic Ink (SU!) Accessories: Glitter Letters (Making Memories), white grosgrain ribbon (SU!), turquoise skinny ribbon (my stash), sponge

Here are a couple of other cute Valentine ideas:



These are small tic tac containers wrapped up with stamped folders with the lips from Hanna Stamps - Sweet Celebrations set and then colored with copic markers. I got this idea from a friend Tracy! Thanks girlie!



I made these yesterday for my sweet kids to give out as Valentines for their classes at church. They were so easy to make using my cuttlebug and nestabilities. I colored the Stampin' Up! retired images using my copic markers. Hope everyone likes them.

Happy Valentine's Day Amanda!
Sorry I haven't posted more lately, I have been sick too (hope I don't need to have MY gall bladder out too! No medicines seem to be helping though). Give your hubby an extra hug since I can't hug mine (he'd deployed).

Hope you are all better by now.

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...

ALMOST TO 50K

EDITED TO ADD: I go by my first name, not my middle. My first name is Amanda. *smiles* Also, I am going to keep this post bumped up to the top so people can find it, but I will be posting more, so please take a moment to scroll down to find the latest stuff -- this will stay up until 50K is reached. *************************** I am so amazed that so many people have been interested in little old stamping me. Okay, well, not me actually, probably mostly my work, but either way, I'm SUPER FLATTERED! I appreciate all the comments you leave me. They really do validate me and make me feel like I should keep on going with this blog. You all ROCK! So, I have decided to do a small giveaway to show my appreciation to you. I will have two separate contests. Both of these contests will win you blog candy (yummy embellishments, and other such fun stuff). The first one is to guess my middle name. You can post your guess as a comment to this post and then I will do a drawing of every...
