Happy Valentine's Day!

I made these adorable valentines for my 5 yr old daughter's classmates. When I saw the sock monkey freebie at Silhouette last week, I knew I wanted to use it for her Valentine's. Now, I consider myself a stamper, so doing something like this took me out of my comfort zone a bit. Once I started cutting out the pieces I kinda started freaking out, LOL! But I ran all the pieces thru my Xyron sticker maker and it was super easy. I wanted to keep them simple, so I created the base & mat using my nestibilities. For my sentiment I cut out a label using my silhouette. My hubby helped me put them all together (thank goodnes) b/c as usual I was putting them together the night before! *giggle* All in all I love them. I'm still trying to get used to the silhouette - I know it can make amazing things but I just have to figure it out a little bit more.

Here is a close up of one of the girl monkeys! I used some pink twine to put bows on the girls. :) You can also see I used some distress ink in fired brick to add some distressing around the label to add some dimension. For the eyes, I used some black rhinestones.
