Teacher Gift

This week was Teacher Appreciation Week at my oldest daughters school, so this is what I made for her 2nd grade teacher! I hope she likes it! I made the cards plain so that she could use them for school or personal use. The Desk Top Organizer box was a template I purchased from Papertrey Ink (www.papertreyink.com). It was SUPER easy to make!

I am back in the groove...

I know I have not been blogging in a LONG time, but life has just gotten in the way and I have not had time for it. But I am getting back into the groove! Here is a layout I did at a recent weekend retreat. My scrapbooking has been neglected for all the cards that I had been making, so you may see more layouts than cardmaking for a while. Thanks so much for stopping by :-)

Star Tag

 

 

I got these kraft stars from the CKC Convention this past August. I liked them because they are flat on the back, so I thought they would make great gift toppers. I took Real Red (SU!) ink and sponged the ink onto the front of the star and then on the other side made the to/from tag. My original thought was to cover the front of the stars with patterned paper, but that did not go over too well, so I went with the ink instead.

Products used:
Stamps - 2008 Holiday Tags Collection (Papertrey Ink)
Ink - Real Red & Old Olive (SU!)
Cardstock - Kraft & Old Olive (SU!)
Tools - Sponge (CTMH), Edge Distresser (SU!), Coluzzle & Martha Stewart Circle Cutter

Happy "belated" Halloween!

 

I had two blondies last night! Usually I have a brown hair girl and a blond hair girl, but last night they were BOTH blond :-) I got to spend the night with Hannah Montana & Snow White! We had a blast! Hope all of you out in blog land had a good night as well.
