Crafts of Valentine's Day Past

I know I am a week late with this post. I apologize.  I didn't make anything crafty for Valentine's Day this year so I thought I would post pics of some of the things I have made for previous Valentine's Days.

These are chocolate covered Oreo cookies that I made last year for my daughter & my boyfriend.
Chocolate covered Oreo cookies are really easy to make,
and I love how great they look.
I had to add this pic.
I put my daughter's can of cookies in a basket with some other goodies and wrapped it up.  Like most things, our fur baby Penny had to inspect it.
I think she approved.

Two years ago I made this paint can for my daughter. 
 The lid is a shaker lid. It was the first time I tried making a shaker anything. I think it turned out pretty nice.  
 
I filled the paint can with all kinds of candy, and sour cream containers like this one.
My last Valentine's post is a mini book I made for my boy-friend two years ago. I used a K&Company Valentine paper pad, and coasters courtesy of Outback. I also used pics of us over the years, and binded it all together with my bind-it-all.  
This is the front cover...
 
 
 
 
 
and this is the back cover.

Heat Transfer Vinyl T-shirts

My daughter is a huge David Wright fan, and I wanted to make her some t-shirts so asked Mardenz @ http://mardenz.blogspot.com if she could make me two svg's of him.  If you have never checked out her blog you should, she has some great stuff on there.

This is the front of the first shirt.  This is a headshot.  I used flocked vinyl for this side....
and regular easy weed for the back.
 
The front of the second shirt is full body. I used metallic vinyl for this side...
and metallic vinyl for the back as well.  It's hard to take good pics because the metallic vinyl is so shiny. 
My daughter loved them so much I made her one more. 
I used regular easy weed for the letters, and metallic vinyl for the heart.
