So meaningful and beautiful, Samantha.
Loving others truly begins with loving ourselves, and your little “More Self Love” envelope captures that so gently and powerfully. Thank you so much for sharing this heartfelt project with us. It’s such a lovely reminder for all of us.

Thanks so much, Jodie! I’m so happy you feel that way about it. This project means a lot to me, so I’m happy that it touched your heart the way it was intended. I also want to share the envelope SVG that I made with the community. So I’ll be sending that over soon. I hope you have a fabulous day!

Thanks so much, Shirley! I’m happy you love it. This project means a lot to me, and to know you can relate to it, means a lot, too. Thanks for sharing your story with me. I strongly believe in affirmations and positive self-talk. As someone who grew up, basically, being taught to hate myself, affirmations helped me to learn to love myself — when I felt no one else did — as well. I believe in the power of the Word — we speak things into existence. So, when we speak negatively about ourselves, that’s who we become. Therefore, we should speak positively about ourselves, and others, so that we become the greatest we can be — without being arrogant, of course. It’s ok to love yourself, with humility.

Week 3 entry 1
https://design.loklikideastudio.com/share/2021767470461882368
I made some fun Candy heart stickers with printable vinyl.

I cut them by hand since I don’t have a icraft but I thought they were fun.

Here’s my #CraftingLove entry for Week 3 number 2
Theme: Everyday Life
IdeaStudio link: [Project | Renaissance Valentines Card]
story: I made this card for my hubby. I spent quite a few hours working on the original poetry. It’s not a strong suit of mine, either is photography which I’m sure you’ve noticed. My parents always called me a spoiled princess and my home life was not very good at all. There was so much abuse and then this knight of a man rushes in and takes me out of hell and gives me the best life I could imagine. He is my knight in shining armor. Has our life been perfect? No one’s is. Mine has been the life I could only dream of. It will be timeless.

This was made using cardstock and some glitterstock. All of the rework is from the LOKLiK library. The main picture was drawn on using the icraft cutting machine and zentangle was done to fill the spaces. I added some banners and flames at the corners and an accent strip on the inside. I hand wrote the original poem.

Here’s my #CraftingLove entry for Week 3 number 3
Theme: Everyday Life
IdeaStudio link: [Project | Tropical Valentines Card]
Story: I couldn’t decide which card to give my hubby so I decided to give them both to him. He is a selfless man who loves a few things with his whole heart. After myself and the kids is a love of all things Renaissance, the ocean, flying and animals. Cool guy, huh? I think so. I better not read this to him or he’ll get a big head. lol!

All the artwork is LOKLiK from the library. The poem … short and sweet is mine. The main design was printed on the icraft cutting machine and I did a little zentangle on it. Fish, sharks and waves were cut out of card and glitterstock.

Here’s my crafting-love Week 3 entry 3
Theme: what’s Love ( my kiddos) for this project
Ideal studio :

I am making two shirts same with each of their names.

Story: I made this shirt because of Karson Lee and Kaden Lane —

two little hearts that changed my whole world the moment they came into it.

Some days I’m tired.

Some days I’m overwhelmed.

Some days I don’t feel strong.

But every single day, I still show up for them.

I still smile for them.

I still push myself to make them happy —

even when I’m not okay inside.

That’s what real love is.

That’s what unconditional love looks like.

This design isn’t just cute words on a shirt —

it’s a piece of my heart, my healing, my motherhood, my purpose.

Because raising Karson Lee and Kaden Lane is my greatest calling,

and loving them is the strongest thing I’ll ever do.

“Momz Little Heartbreaker in Training”

was created from real life, real love, and a mama’s unbreakable heart

Hey, Shirley, I just noticed you have this one and your Sip Sip Hooray one both marked as “Week 3 entry 2.” Might want to edit this one to week 3 entry 1, so there’s no confusion.

shirleycobb · February 13, 2026, 3:02am
