Out of this world Valentines

I was blurfing the other day, Tuesday, and found these wonderful little aliens. They all come with a jpg and png file. And they come black and white and colored in. AND there are background pages for each one of these little cutie pies.

Greebo T. Cat offers them as freebies. How cool is that??? She offers others as well. You really should go check out her blog. She posts some works made with her designs too.

If you know anything about Melissa, you know that she is not a primping, girlie kid. She is more into worms than fashion. So I thought these would be perfect for her Valentines.

While all 3 of my girls think these are really cute, Morgan and Megan are "too big" to give Valentines to their friends now. Their thought, not mine. I certainly don't think my babies are too old. I would gladly make these for them too. If they want me to. But they won't. (insert sad sigh) So I am basking in the joy that is my youngest. And eating up every minute that she thinks I am still cool. Because all too soon, I won't know a darned thing.

(I used plain white cardstock. I wanted the candies to be very visible. I punched out a 2 inch scallop circle of pink patterned paper. I sized the aliens to fit into a 1 and 1/2 inch circle and printed 28 aliens onto white cardstock. I Stapled the scalloped circle and the white topper to the bag. That is the only attacher on the bag itself. Then I wrapped a 6 inch piece of ribbon around, adhering with my ATG. I colored all the little aliens with my Copic markers. Punched them all out and then punched a 1/16 inch hole to put the heart brad into before I used foam mounting tape (to cover staple marks) and stuck them onto the pink scallop circle. Now all they need is Melissa to sign the backs and give them to her friends.)

Candy choice was Melissa's. I would have gone for chocolate, but there is no accounting for taste, so she got conversation hearts. Megan thinks they smell like a 3rd grade classroom. (?????)
