Hello friends, it’s a busy day today – if you are looking for the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog Hop and entry for Blog Candy – click HERE.
Hee. . .Hee. . .I just love that title, it’s totally silly. For today’s Blog Hop I went back to my childhood and chased after this project with wild abandon. No, it’s not like the things I normally do, but ya gotta have fun, right? I wanted to make something silly and syrupy sweet for my hubby for Valentines Day, so this is what I made.
It’s a cootie catcher with a belly band! I was undecided whether to put it in an envelope so I put it in a recycled tin. All the way in the center I’ve used flowers from JustRite JB-09710 Beautiful Blossoms and JustRite JB-09715 Breath of Spring. To accompany those flowers I used the sweetest sentiments from JustRite JB-09720 Romantic Sentiments and JustRite JB-09725 Loving Thoughts.
Here you can see the pretty flowers and sentiments on the inside flaps . . .
Lastly, here is what my paper looks like after all the folding and embellishments are in place.

Boy, does that bring back memories! Too cute! Looking forward to the instructions. I don’t think I remember how we did them. Great idea for girlfriends, too, who will remember making them in school…but ours didn’t look like yours!

Becca, this is totally so sweet and your honey will love it. I remember the endless hours of playing with these as a child, but none as pretty as this one, ours was made out of note-book paper from our school books. Thanks for the sweet memory. TFS!!! :-D
Becca, you are seriously the most creative person I know!!! I wish I could share your brain with you…..if even for one day!! LOL! What a clever idea this was!!!!
As always you have such creativity!
I love this! Who would have thought of a grown up cootie! You made it look so classy!
This is GORGEOUS, so fun and such a sweet card/gift. I completely adore it and it made me smile
Please can I just spend just 1 hour inside your SO CREATIVE brain?! LOL! This is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! :) Michelle
Thanks for bringing back memories of me making this when I was in elementary school so many years ago. They didn’t have those fancy punches then and we had to use notebook paper. Your’s are beautiful. I will have to try my hand at this. Thank you for sharing.
Totally adorable, boy does that bring back memories. Gee, I don’t remember how to make one though . . . LOL! I’m sure your hubby will be tickled pink . . . pardon the pun . . .LOL!!!
I LOVE this !!! It’s totally adorable!
Becca, this is toooooo cute! Reminds me of when I was in elementary school…we were forever making these little things! CUTE! CUTE! CUTE!

This is so cute!!
OMG! Not only is that name the cutest but the project is just the absolutely cutest things I’ve ever seen. Whoever thought to take this childhood toy and update it to this exquist item. LOVE IT!

WOW! You Never disapoint! How beautiful!
Beautiful colors. Pink is my favorite
You have such a talent! Beautiful
This is absolutely gorgeous, I have bookmarked it and am planning on making one for my granddaughters. Thank you
Oh this is true talent. I never would have thought to make this into a card. I was looking around your blog and your cards are so beautiful. That’s when I came across this card and just had to leave a comment. I had just made a wedding card for my niece when I seen this and thought this would have been a cute and fun way to make a wedding card with a blessing for the couple under each flap. I will be keeping this in mind for the next wedding. Thank you so much for being such an inspiration. God has truly blessed you and may he continue to bless you each and every day.
