Layout Challenge: #18 of 210
My kids loved these ideas from Family Fun for cell phone and I-pod Valentines. They are perfect for older kids like my 5th grader who made the cell phones. I helped come up with the dimensions for the first one and she did the rest on their own. She also added the black dots with a marker to make speakers. My 3rd grader made the I-pods and they were more work but she did a lot on her own. Then we set up an assembly line between the three of us mostly to just get them done. I would say don’t plan these for younger kids unless you are willing to do all the work yourself. My girls are almost 9 & 11 and very crafty but they were ready to be done by the end. They each made 25 valentines. We used a combination of my ATG gun and double sided tape for adhesive to ensure that they stayed stuck and they have!
Cell Phone cutting details:
phone is 2.5″ x 7″ (use a corner rounder for the corners)
inside text message is approximately 2″ x 2″
antenna is 3″ x .5″ then folded in half
I used my Cricut Storybook cartridge for the heart on the front. You could use any heart, or make an additional text message.
I found the candy buttons at Walgreens.
I-pod cutting details:
I used the template from Family Fun for the playlist and scroll wheel, added the songs she wanted and scanned/copied enough to fit on one page, then I printed on cardstock and she cut them out.
box is 3.5″ x 7″ and wrapped around the box
We taped the silver cord (we used embroidery floss) on everything first before covering. I used my Cricut to cut the first few circles of aluminum foil and then realized that it was faster and easier to just tear it in squares and just form it around the candy. I just guessed and it worked well.
Products used: DCWV Luxury Stack, Cricut Mini Monograms cartridge, Sandylion vellum Disney stickers, Kaisercraft Pearls, Cricut Storybook cartridge, and Cricut Home Accents cartridge.
I used more paper from the Luxury stack. I love the pearls with this paper. I made the title with the Cricut Ink Colors. I have wanted to try these for a long time and I finally bought some with my Christmas money. I like them! It’s another great way to add a title.

2010 Layout Challenge: #14 of 210
Products used: DCWV Luxury Stack, Disney Jolee’s boutique by EK Success, Cricut Mini Monograms cartridge, Sandylion vellum Disney stickers, Kaisercraft Pearl Strips (pink), and unknown 3D butterflies/flowers and organdy ribbon.
I am very pleased with this layout. I used the Diecuts with a View paper from a stack that I bought online and I didn’t like it as well when I got it so it became buried in my stash. It was the perfect colors for these layouts and I don’t think I noticed before that it had a sheen shine that is very pretty. The pearls I used come in strips and I used them to create my own flourishes and used the remaining pearls as centers for the flowers. I’ll have a layout tomorrow using ScrapSketch #3.
