Such a SMARTIE! Valentine's

 Where did the time go?  It feels like just yesterday my husband was headed out of town for work and I was so optimistic about all the extra crafting time I would be able to fit it.... that clearly has not been the case!  Three months later (husband still gone:0( ) I've finally pulled myself together for the kiddos and actually finished a couple of projects for Valentine's Day!

Speaking of my wonderful husband... he bought me Cricut Markers what must have been AT LEAST 3 years and I've always been to afraid to use them!  Thanks to my wonderful broken down printer I was left with no other choice for our Valentine's project this evening....

Didn't love the red marker!  As you can see, it is definitely more pink than red!


 Absolutely fabulous!  I couldn't have been more thrilled with the Cricut Markers or my Gypsy!  Way better than if my stinkin' printer was working!  The markers did bleed a little, but I blame that on my frugal ways and the super cheap card stock that I was using (as I always do for the kids projects)!

My completed Smarties valentines for Alden's class.  I used a wonderful video tutorial from  Dawn over at Dawn's Stamping Thoughts, which was absolutely wonderful! Little does that little SMARTIE know that if he wakes up early he'll be coloring in the word SMARTIE on all 24 of these cuties;)

Check out this little SMARTIE that snuck out of her bed and fell asleep on the couch as I was frantically trying to finish up her brothers valentine's!

Happy Crafting!
