Cupid Poop

Here's a little "treat" I thought of last night while I couldn't sleep.  I love the Jaded Blossom stamps that were released earlier this month.  I had been thinking of what else could I do with the "I like the way you roll" stamp besides using Tootsie Rolls.  As I was laying awake at 1am still not able to get to sleep, it hit me!  Use a roll of toilet paper!!!  I know it's not your conventional "treat" but it is fun and practical!  Who couldn't use a roll of toilet paper?  

Now I just have to decide who shall receive this precious gift!  Maybe I'll donate it to my librarian friend that hosts an Anti-Valentine party for her teen advisory group at the library every year.  It would certainly fit the theme!  Lol!

I stamped the toilet paper, wrapped it in tulle and added some decorative paper.  I used the following Jaded Blossom stamp sets on this project:  Valentine Candies, Pattern Kisses, Got Candy?, and Trust in Cupid. 

This was a quick and easy project!  I think I'll make one for St. Patricks day too!  In fact, Jaded Blossom has "Poop" stamps for just about every holiday so this might become a year round treat!

Here's a Christmas planner I made for a wedding gift.  I got it done just in time as the wedding is tomorrow, January 12th!  I used my cricut expression, gypsy, Jaded Blossom stamps and my computer.  I made all the forms on my computer a few years ago when I made one of these for myself.

This is the 6th planner that I've made.  In the previous planners I used pretty green or red binders that were prefect for Christmas.  I haven't been able to find them the last couple of years.  I've looked everywhere.  I didn't want to use plastic because I mod-podged the inside of the front & back covers.

I burned a CD of all the forms so new ones can be printed when needed.  There's a little box at the bottom of each form to write the current year.


The dividers were actually a little too big and stick out of the binder a tad bit.  I used measurements from the one I made a few years ago thinking that all binders are the same size.  They are not.  Lesson learned!  Hopefully the recipient doesn't mind the error.  I tried to fix it but I was only going to make it worse.  These mistakes seem to only happen when you don't have extra paper on hand.  Lol!

This is the first binder I made that has a pretty little decoration on it.   That is thanks to Jaded Blossom and their Christmas Wishes stamp set!  I love the tree in that set!

I hope the happy couple enjoys and uses their binder as much as I do mine!  Hopefully they don't forget they have it with Christmas being so far away!
