“Hoppy” Valentines Day with Tya

Hi everyone – Tya here with you sharing a fun Valentines Day gift set featuring a couple of new cut files from Lori. Lori has the knack for creating the cutest little critters and when I saw these cute frogs I “jumped” at the chance to create this fun set. I made the Frog Lip Balm Holder and the Frog Treat box.

First up is the Frog Treat Box. I used a basic dot paper in a few different shades for the box. I added some black enamel dot eyes and topped the treat bag filled with what else- gummy frogs- with a print and cut “Hoppy” Valentines Day sentiment using the LW Dandy Font and a ticket shaped tag in the 5 Layered Shapes file.

Next up is a fun lip balm holder with the same papers and accents- the red EOS holder was the perfect touch.

Make sure to stop by Lori’s shop and check out all the new Valentines Day critters – http://www.shop.loriwhitlock.com/ – they are so cute and a nice little surprise for your Valentine! Thanks for stopping by!

I even incorporate crafts into my literature lessons. I also dabble in photography and graphic design. I have proudly served my country in the U.S. Marine Corps and totally support the brave men and women in the armed forces. My favorite projects to create are what I call – “Off the page projects”.

I have an amazing husband who is so proud of my crafting and is infinitely supportive. We live in Carmel, California with our little dog named Spoon.
