Revlon Lip Butter

Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter lipsticks are my new very favorite thing. I just purchased these 2 the other day (Colors are Candy Apple and Berry Smoothie) and I am already wanting more. They have just the perfect amount of pigment along with some super awesome moisturizing power for this dry season.

I purchased mine at Walgreens for about $8 each. I think I will wait to buy more until they do a buy one, get one 50% off special. You can also find them and see swatches here.

Happy Wednesday. Is it Friday, YET?

You Rock, Valentine Sunglass Gifts!

Long time, no post! Life has been crazy lately!

I love Valentine's Day. I know it has such a reputation of being a "corporate holiday," but I like how my husband and I celebrate. Every year since we met, we spend V-Day together in a traditional fashion. Drive through Wendy's, then a picnic in front of the TV with a rental movie. When we feel REALLY crazy, we may even run through the Dairy Queen parking lot and pick up Blizzards! :) Anyway, I digress. Back to the idea I want to share!

 

My friends this year will be receiving "You Rock" Valentine's Day cards and Sunglasses! Here are the materials I used:

• Sunglasses, of course! I purchased mine for only $1.39 a pair from this vendor on ebay. I know we are getting close to the holiday, so you can always swing by Dollar Tree and pick some up for a buck a piece.
• Designed sheet of cover stock. I know I have an in on this one because I'm a graphic designer, but don't let that stop you! Michaels / Hobby Lobby have awesome scrapbook paper selections and stamps/stickers you can use!
• Ribbon
• Paper Hole Punch
• Eyeglass Cases (optional. I used them only for the cards I was going to mail to protect the sunnies)

 First, I designed by sheet and cut it to a larger size. This one is cut to 5.5" x 8.5" to fit an entire family's Sunglasses.

 I found it easier to punch 3 holes in a role to insert the arm of the Sunglasses to hang down from.

Tada! This set is for a family we know. One for Mom, Dad, and Baby (picked hers up at Dollar Tree) 

This pair is for a friend in Germany. I know it will have a long way to travel, so used a case to protect it. 

 Then cut down the sheet smaller with some scrapbooking scissors.

And tied it in place with a ribbon! I think she will be pleasantly surprised to be receiving a pair of sunglasses for Valentine's Day!

ENJOY! I'm excited for our day.
