I missed youSo I am not a consultant for any company, nor do I have plans to be but I just can't deny how much I like doing projects with paper. I was a consultant for a while with a fabulous papery-stampy company that I still love, but it turns out that I am super frugal and now I am in the process of using up my stuff before I acquire more. Crazy idea, huh?<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But I missed my paper blog. Maybe it fills a need to create, maybe the process is therapeutic for me, maybe I just really like doing it for no good reason! So after a little hiatus (ahem, it looks like my last post was 2 years ago) I AM BACK! I will be posting my paperish and other projects on this blog. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So while this blog is called "Paper Crafting Princess" don't be surprised if I put up pictures of the tile back splash I DID MYSELF or the new and improved banister my dad and husband installed. Let's focus on the "Crafting" part of the title. There may be paper involved. . .but there might not, I'm just warning you ahead of time so you won't feel disappointed.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
No projects to post today. I am working on something, but. . . . </div>

<br />
Here is the big project. . .. .<br />
<br />
I saw something like this from BH&Gs: <a href="http://www.bhg.com/holidays/valentines-day/decorating/hand-crafted-valentines-day-decor/#page=2">http://www.bhg.com/holidays/valentines-day/decorating/hand-crafted-valentines-day-decor/#page=2</a> It's on the page with the Valentine banner - but it wasn't the banner that caught my eye, it was the sign that said "LOVE"<br />
<br />
and I REALLY wanted to have some Valentine cheer at our house so I decided to make this sign:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was REALLY easy! You could use a canvas if you wanted to but this is just and old fashioned piece of board 1x8 or 1x10 or something. I spray painted the board white, then cut letters with my Wishblade. The font for the "L, V, and E" is called "Cooper Black" and the heart is a "Y" in the "Webdings" font.<br />
<br />
The shape of the letters are so simple you could print them out and cut around them with scissors on colored cardstock (patterned paper would be really cute, too) You wouldn't have to use a electronic cutter if you don't have one or don't want to.<br />
<br />
I hope you like my sign. I was fun to do and the best part was the reaction from my kids when the saw it. You would have thought my 3 year old little boy had never seen a heart before "Oh a HEART!" he said very enthusiastically. <br />
<br />
Happy Valentines!<br />
<br />
p.s. while I was writing this post I totally lost track of how many almond valentine kisses I ate. . . blast!<br />
p.p.s. Maybe my next post should be a healthy valentine recipe. .. is there such a thing? ;-)<br />
p.p.p.s. special thanks to Ryan for providing the beautiful flowers, and special thanks to the 3 year for being naughty so Ryan would bring me flowers.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589776340490257707.post-43907446614973439192011-11-16T04:30:00.000-06:002011-11-16T07:25:12.962-06:00Autumn Blessings Blog Hop<br />

<br />
You should have arived here from <a href="http://anaggarciam.blogspot.com/">Ana's blog</a>. If not, you should consider starting starting the hop from the beginning, which is <a href="http://www.lorabrinkman.com/">Lora's blog</a><br />
<br />
<i>Lately I've been thinking about how blessed I am. Especially the blessing to be married to my husband. It is pretty remarkable that someone would choose to spend their life with another person and I am so grateful that my husband has made this choice. Not to say that is has always been bliss, we have had our ups and our downs. We've struggled through college together, been super, SUPER broke together, and lost loved ones together. On the up side, we've had 3 beautiful children together and thankfully, we are not broke anymore. My husband has a good job and I have the privilege of staying home with our children. My biggest blessings have come in large part because of my husband and a very loving Father in Heaven. I am truly blessed! And I am reminded of that every year during the holidays. I LOVE this time of year, my whole being is just filled with the spirit of gratitude and I see my life in a new and better light.</i><br />
<br />
This is why I chose my project, I wanted to remember to "Count my Blessings." It's a board about 6x15 inches. I painted it red, then yellow, then red again (I didn't know what I wanted when I started), then smeared some brown over the top to make it looked a little distressed -and the red was too bright on its own. I chose colors and papers that were fall-ish yet still generic enough I can leave my sign up all year if I choose. If you know me, you know I love red, and it's never out of season at my house. <br />
<br />
You could take the same idea and cut your words out smaller and put them on a card. I think it would make a nice card.<br />

<br />
So now that I've put all on my menu ideas together I'll need a place to store them. I used a template for library pockets and made one slot to hold menus for each weekday (plus one extra). I'm almost done making it so you'll have to check back soon to see the pictures of my finished project.<br />
<br />
Want a sneak peak? I used this paper packet: <a href="https://ilovepaper.myctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=5274">Cherry-O </a><br />
I thought it was appropriate for a kitchen.<br />
<br />
Check back soon! And then let me know what you think of my final project.<br />

<br />
What is my FAVORITE Close To Me Heart product?<br />

Yep Chocolate. . . .do you want some clarification? <br />

Alright, I will indulge you, Chocolate INK and the large Chocolate Alphabet stamps. BUT DON'T USE THEM TOGETHER!!! You might get a chocolate overdose! What am I saying? Everyone knows its impossible to overdose on chocolate. ;-)<br />

It's a great way to try Close to my Heart.<br />
<br />
If you are going to order and you're new to Close to my Heart, here are a few of my favorites:<br />
<br />
BOOKS:<br />
<a href="https://ilovepaper.myctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=3705&CatalogID=177">REFLECTIONS</a>: It's a book of 100 patterns for scrapbook page layouts.<br />
<br />
If you like card making you may want to try:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://ilovepaper.myctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=4219&CatalogID=178">ORIGINALS</a> a book of BEAUTIFUL card patterns.<br />
<br />
STAMPS AND INK:<br />
<a href="https://ilovepaper.myctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=4080&CatalogID=100">CHOCOLATE</a> ALPHABET STAMP - I love to use this stamp set for large titles or monograms - my FAVORITE alphabet stamp!!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://ilovepaper.myctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=725">CHOCOLATE INK</a> - very versatile! Dark enough for your stamping to show up and a GREAT color for distressing. If you are going to have only one ink pad , I suggest this one.<br />
<br />
2" x 3 1/2 " <a href="https://ilovepaper.myctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=40">CLEAR BLOCK</a> - this size is very versatile AND it's first block I bought! It's just big enough to hold ALMOST any size of stamps. <br />
<br />
PAPER:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://ilovepaper.myctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=5658&CatalogID=1646">OLIVIA</a> - Level 1 Kit - if you are new to scrapbooking I would start with a Level 1 kit. The pages are PRE-PRINTED so all you have to do is add your pictures and journalling and embellishments and VOILA you are done! I LOVE Level 1 kits. OLIVIA is new this season and PERFECT for Fall. <br />

</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I LOVE this time of year! It always reminds of special times of my life. Some memories are magical - like Christmas Caroling in Sun Valley Idaho, some are bittersweet - like going to my grandma's funeral just a few days before Christmas. But the message of Christmas always fills my heart with joy! I think back to when I was about 8 years old and there was a new family that moved into our neighborhood. They really didn't have much and my family wasn't rich, but we never went without. I remember my mom washed and ironed some of our Sunday dresses that didn't fit anymore and carefully put them in a box. It was our plan to to secretly leave them on this family's doorstep - and since they were new in the area they wouldn't know who the dresses had belonged to. We drove to their home and I don't remember who put the box on their doorstep, I just remember how fast we got out of there!! And I do remember how warm my heart felt every time I saw one of those little girls wearing one of the Sunday dresses we had given to them. It's funny how when you give a gift you receive the most!</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div>I used Cranberry brads and cranberry grosgrain ribbon to embellish my trees.

The song is called "Little Baby" and after I wrote it, I was asked if it could be used in a magazine for my church. (The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints) Of course I said "Yes!" They used my song in the magazine for youth (called the New Era) in December 2008 and for a Christmas video. You can watch it below.<br />
<br />
And if you would like a copy, you can print the sheet music <a href="http://lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=024644f8f206c010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD&locale=0&sourceId=a37db62c630dd110VgnVCM100000176f620a____">here.</a><br />
<br />
I hope you like it.<br />

<div><br />
</div><div>You should have come here from <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://scrapwench.blogspot.com/2010/10/october-2010-ctmh-spotlight-blog-hop.html">JILL'S</a></span> blog.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I really hope you like my Christmas gift idea. Its an <a href="https://ilovepaper.myctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=683">Event Calenda</a>r. The idea is you write in birthdays, anniversaries, etc so that you can see at a glance the important events in your life - year after year - the calendar is re-usable. <br />
<div><br />
