Simple and Sweet

     I am lucky enough to have a little scrapbooking sidekick when I am in my craft room.  My daughter is in love with anything that has paper or adhesive and loves to make her own creations right along with me.  So, naturally for Valentine's Day, I wanted to make her special Valentine incorporate a little crafty flair.  I thought I would play along with the monthly challenge from Imaginisce and "find" an old item, or something that could be re-purposed and re-used.  I didn't have to look far!  Since I often have to search her table for my supplies, particularly ribbon, I knew that this would be the perfect item to re-purpose!  



     Instead of making a card for her, like I usually do, I wrote my sentiment on paper and wound it around the empty ribbon spool.  I used the Lucy Bird collection from Imaginisce to make it appeal to her tastes.  I know she will love it.  Now I just have to wait until Valentines Day to give it to her!  Thanks for stopping by!
