Happy Valentine's Day Love {bug} -- A Tutorial

Now that it is February I can safely put up my AirHead's Valentine Day contest entry! I happen to read about the contest on the Alt Summit blog that I faithfully check in on, each and every day --- dreaming that someday I could attend. These Love {bugs} are my entry. It is amazing what you can do with AirHeads candy if you are into crafting. I hope you enjoy making these as much as I did and sharing them + popping them in your mouth too, yummy!! Oh, you can even make them into a pin or magnet and save them all year long to make you smile. Tuck some in your house plants for a spot of Colour!

You can check out (and vote!) for my entry on the AirHead's Facebook page!

The Love {bugs} captured to be given to your Valentine

I used the Cherry AirHeads for the body and the White Mystery for the eyes

One strip can make 10 Love {bugs}. Wash hands. Cut strip into 10 slices. Put 1 slice on parchment paper and microwave for approx. 5 seconds

You can either push softened AirHead piece into a small spoon and put in freezer for approx 5 minutes, or you can roll the softened AirHead piece in between your hands to make a round little ball, make extra to pop into your mouth!

shape body. use edible ink pen for steps 6 and 7. make tiny round balls with the White Mystery AirHead bar, you will            have plenty. your Love {bug} is done. I drew some Mason Jars in Adobe Illustrator and printed them out on Kraft                heavy 81/2" x 11" paper and then cut them out.

use a small piece of White Mystery AirHead candy to stick the Love {bug} in the jar & ENJOY!

Alt Summit + Autumn Luck?

If I had dew claws I would have them crossed for Mom .... here is why: I secretly know she is obsessed     with Letterpress, paper blogs, photography, smart ideas and outdoor adventures to say the least. The     2013 Alt Summit, which takes place in Salt Lake City, is in it's fourth year (28 dog years). Tickets sold out quickly.
  "For blogging inspiration and business advice check out the new Alt blog" and see for yourself. As with   the above New Yorker cartoon we love to Innovate here at CabinPress Studio and if Mom has some      Autumn luck she will be heading to the Alt Summit to participate with other creative entrepreneurs. Altitude Design Summit is the place to be. Because they feed those obsessions. I can "picture" Mom doing this, so can she!

The Winner Is..........

I would like to congratulate our winner! WOOF WOOF, DescribeHappy! Since I like to nibble on paper Mom put all the contestants names on a piece of paper, folded them, dropped them in a bowl, and I got to slobber on each one ... until the winner was chosen. Mom hopes that the Happy person who won contacts me with her address, so Mom can pop my "Happy" gift from CabinPress Studio in the mail to far-away New York City. Tail Wags & Happy Ground Hog Day to All.
