Prepping for my Valentine's Day Crafternoon with NVCL

Yesterday morning I was busy prepping for my Valentine's Day Crafternoon with North Vancouver City Library. I scored a bunch of awesome donations from Urban Repurpose. Tom even cut up cardboard tubes for me... I think I ended up with at least 60 pieces. Thanks Tom!

I decided to focus on using the materials donated by Urban Repurpose for my sample projects. We had the cardboard tubes - I also grabbed sparkly embellishments from the dollar store...

We had playing cards, paint sample cards and random sheets of coloured paper...

I thought the paint sample cards could be restyled into gift tags.

Here are a few of my samples - a garland using cereal box cardboard, gift tags out of paint sample cards and a love cracker using the cut cardboard tubes.

This is the perfect packaging for a love note, yummy treats or anything small you want to give to your sweetheart.

My super simple gift tags. I glued plain paper to the back to make it easier to write on.

So fun to get a bit crafty yesterday! Today I'm prepping for two Crafting Memories Crafternoons with North Vancouver Recreation & Culture tomorrow. Join me at Delbrook Community Recreation Centre from 10am to 12pm and 1pm to 3pm.
