Where to Begin?

First of all, I just want to thank everyone for such great and supportive comments on my last post!
And I had a few questions from some of you as well that I will be happy to answer in a bit.

I was floored to see that the little Valentine's Day mini I shared here last post was featured and got over 300 likes on the Paper Issues instagram feed!
It kind of made my day :)

These are the actual tags I used

They have the holes pre-punched, so all I really had to do was stitch. So simple really. The two tag is in there as well as several other really cute ones.

And for Barb - my printer is an HP Photosmart 7510. Now that I have figured out some of the settings, I will say it's a good printer except for wireless issues. And reading other reviews on line, it seems like a common problem unfortunately. I probably would not buy this printer again.

I have gotten zero scrapbooking done since I finished the mini album, but am hoping to get a page or two done this week between cleaning out Erin's closet and other must do's!
I received my February Swag Bag (embellishment kit) from Paper Issues in the mail this weekend.

Erin and I plan on using it to create some Valentine's Day cards for family and friends with it. I am also hoping there is some left over to make a scrapbook layout as well. But Erin was so excited when we opened it, that I have my doubts ;)
Unfortunately, February is sold out already! I heard they went fast. But you can see more info about the kits *Here*. Those on the sub list get their kits for sure. Otherwise, only a few go on sale individually each month. And at $9.99 they are a bargain. With my friends and family discount using code MARYJO you can get another 20% off that or any other purchase any time!

One more thing. I am having the worst time trying to leave comments for those of you with Google +
Sometimes I can comment and sometimes I can't. So know that if you leave a comment here, I am at least reading your blog even if I can't comment! Sorry about that.

I hope you have a wonderful Monday!

    Maybe you'll need a picture of you and Erin making Valentine's with the kit, it might be the only way those fun embellishments make it into your album! :)

    Congratulations on the 305 likes, that is brilliant but your tags were so beautiful, it is not really surprising. I am just smiling at the thought of Erin getting stuck into that beautiful kit - hope you both have fun! Hugs, Anne x

    Love this mini album. Such a cute idea with the tags. I have similar feelings about the "calls". I participated once upon a time and got all hyped up and then was so deflated when the actual call never came. I hope that the mfgs are watching and looking and that one day you'll get that awesome surprise. :)

    Love those tags and your swag bag! Can't wait to see your cards. I was working on some last night and I think valentine's cards are my favorite! I have issues with Google + too... :(

    How exciting :)
    That kit looks like a whole lot of fun :)
    I find it hard on google+ to reply as sometimes I have to go to their "about" and then scroll down to find the link to their blog…not as easy.

    WOW! What a cool tag kit that the holes are already pre punched very cool!
    Well deserved you rocked that tag album! They are fun i did one a couple years ago but it was a little bigger I think it was by 7 gypsies and it had some pockets too!
