Teacher Appreciation 2013

Hello everyone, it's been a while because I spent all my time making an inventory for a craft booth I had at our local city festival.  I wanted to show you some of my older projects that I forgot to post in the spring.  Today it's all about Teacher appreciation. 

My daughter's second grade teacher loves Mickey and Minnie Mouse, so this is what I came up with to decorate her door.  She loved it! I cut some Mickey ears using the Mickey and friends cart. and put the names of each kid in her class on them. The red ones are the girls and the boys are the black ears.

Now this thank you gift bag was made for my 14 yr. old daughter's art teacher.  I used the Once upon a Princess cart for the bag. Patterned paper is from a Colorbok paper pad.  The stamps and punch are from Stampin' Up. The ink used was from SEI.

This bag was made for Tehya's Chinese teacher.  Cartridge is TBBM. paper is from SEI. I used prima flowers and the brads and ribbon are from my stash.  The thank you stamp is from My Cute Stamps and the ink is Colorbox.

I love making things for other people and seeing their faces light up at receiving the gift.

I have many more projects to show you now that I have more time.  I look forward to catching you guys up on all my creations and I can't wait to check out what you all have been up to.

Thanks for visiting my blog today and I hope you will return to see more. Let me know what you think of my projects, I love to read your comments!

Happy Easter and Thank You card

Happy Easter everyone, I wanted to make this quick post because I made this Thank you card to enter into some fun challenges.  First up is My Craft Spot where the challenge was Strings & things, and the other one is at the Use It Tuesday blog. Their challenge was all about spring! get out your old products that you haven't used in a while and make something.

Here is my card:

Paper is from Colorbok-(the patterned paper is the first sheet I have used out of this stack)

The Twine is brand new from Michaels

The stamp and punch were used for the first time on this card & both are from Stampin' Up

The flowers are from my stash that I have had for years.

Thanks for checking out my creations,  I hope you have been inspired!

Tanner (Little Man)

Here is another layout I did with my son's adorable pictures.  In this one he is such a cute little man.  I realized after I had completed the layout that I should have put "Little Man" for the title, oh well, I think it is still cute.

Wedding Layouts

Good day all,  I was going to post pics of some cute pages I did for my two girls, but my camera died when I went to take pictures of the pages.  So after my camera charges and I get the pics I will share them with you.  In the mean time I will share something else.

Here are some layouts I did for a wedding album.  The first picture is both pages together and I took a picture of each page separately. 

For this layout I used Stampin Up' roller stamp and embossed it with silver powder.  The flowers are prima, the cardstock is, I think, Bazzill.  I just used silver brads in the center of the flowers, and the patterned paper is no longer available. 

This next layout was made using the same Bazzill cardstock the patterned paper is from the same company as above and no longer available.  I'm not sure where the ribbon came from but it is super cute, the green flower is actually a chipboard flower that I covered in cardstock and added a brad in the center.

I hope you enjoy these layouts, they were really fun to make.  Let me know what you think. 

Thanks for stopping by.  You're Great!

NSD Challenge #6

Here is what I came up with for this challenge:  Incorporate a tag into your project.  I just made a simple card.  With not having that much time I have to keep things as simple as I can. 

This is a 4x4 card. The paper is basic cardstock you can get anywhere, the flower is a prima flower, I used Stampin' Up and Colorbox ink for the shading, the divine swirls folder with the cuttlebug, added a little glitter and a brad, oh and the ribbon is just some I had. 

I figure this card could be used for anything to do with girls so I didn't put a sentiment on it until I figure out what I will use it for.

Wedding Card

I have really got to get better at posting more often!  It's a lot harder than I thought it would be to find the time to do this.  My 7 month old really takes up a lot of my time.  I just can't pull out my stuff and work on something whenever I want to.  I will try to get better. 

I recently attended a wedding reception of a girl I taught in Mia-Maids about 5-6 years ago.  It really makes you feel old when the kids you taught once upon a time start getting married and having kids.  It was a nice reception and the bride was beautiful.  Here is the card I made for her to go with her present. 

I used the Home Decor cart for the scroll.  Prima flowers, and the cuttlebug for the tan paper.  It was a pretty simple card for me.  I didn't have much time to make it, so I kept as simple as I could.  I hope you like it.
