Teacher Appreciation...Part 1

It's Teacher Appreciation at my girls school this week. Monday is "Sweets for a Sweet Teacher" day. So we are giving our wonderful teachers a Hershey chocolate bar and some popcorn. We have been very blessed to have 2 wonderful teachers. They are such loving and caring people. I am glad they are my girls teachers, I couldn't of asked for better!

The complete set...

Here is the giant Hershey bar...

The popcorn bag...

The gift bag...

I used MFT's "Spring Sprouts" by Sara Williams. Love this little set! I stamped all images in Momento Tuxedo Black and colored with my copics. I did put Shimmerz "Pixie Dust" on my clouds to give them a little sparkle. The paper is from K&Company and Hobby Lobby cardstock. I added a little ribbon...because...well you just gotta have ribbon! I hope they enjoy their little treats as much as I enjoyed making them!

Life IS Good!

I am surrounded by wonderful family, wonderful friends, and a wonderful Heavenly Father...so Life Is Good!!!

Here is my newest creation...a dry erase frame.

Perfect for leaving the kids notes, my hubby notes or the grocery list.

I used my new CTMH "Treetop" stamp set. Love this little stamp set!! I think it is just way to cute! So many possibilities, so many creations just waiting to be made! I also used CTMH's "Moon Doggie" & "Back Country" paper packets. I modge podge the paper on the outside of the frame. I figured that would help protect it against sticky little hands.

Here is a close up of the trees...

Dry erase markers wipe off easily off the glass.

My card...I didn't want to throw away the extra squares so I decided to make a quick card with them.

Recipe: Stamps: CTMH "Treetop", Paper: CTMH "Moon Doggie", "Back Country", & Colonial White, Ink: CTMH Garden Green, Brown Bag, Olive & Black, Misc: buttons, hemp, frame, modge podge, glue dots

Ernie Never Forgets

This is Ernie, isn't he cute! Ernie is also never forgets...especially the kindness of others. This little set was made for Clear Dollars Guest Designer Challenge, CDSGDC0509. The theme was to have something dangle from your project. I dangled hearts from Ernie's trunk and the handle of the bag.

Here are some closer looks...

Simple Thank You

I am always needing little thank you cards. So tonight, I got my CTMH kit, thank you UPS Man!!! So I decided I needed to play!! I made these cute little and so very simple 3x3 cards. I used CTMH's "Dream Big" & "Fringed Phrases". I stamped the little flowers in Garden green, tulip, indian corn blue & goldrush. I stamped the "thank you" in Memento tuxedo black. I popped one flower on each card on half a phone dot and adhered. I then tied my ribbon and I was done.

Baby Boat

This was my entry for the "Bellie Up to the Buffet" over at Splitcoast. You can find more information on it here.... http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=433896&page=6

For this challenge you were to use at least 3 embellishments ('bellies) on your card. You could use as many as your hearts desire...so I used...

ribbon

buttons

hemp

safety pin

seed beads

my punches to make my boat

I also used my nesties and swiss dots embossing folder to create this card. I did have another card I made for the challenge...but honestly I wasn't happy with it.

Close up of the safety pin with seed beads...


Here is the card I made first that just wasn't cutting it for me...

This card was made with...ribbon, glitter, blings, safety pin, seed beads, eyelet. I also used my nesties on this card as well as some crystal effects. The image and sentiment is from Doodle Factory and is colored with my copics and SU markers. I find that when I use crystal effects the SU markers tend to bleed. You will see that on the part above the star and the pink.
