Teacher Appreciation Gifts 2014

Hi Friends, 

I'm back again with another project.  This time it's a really quick gift for my kids teacher.  I almost forgot to make something for them this year.  Like I do every year it's always a mad dash to finish and make something for them.  

I found this on Pinterest and I had to try it. 

Here it is:

This are acrylic mason jars with lids and straws.  I got them at my local AcMoore for 4.99 each.  It was a deal considering Target was 9.99 each.  I just added some ribbon.  I cut out some apples with my spellbinders nestibilities and printed out "You're an Uh-Mason Teacher" from my computer on cream cardstock from my stash.  I just love it.   Inside the mason jars I added some Easter grass and some candies from Target.  

I think they will like it.  I thought it was pretty cute and clever.  What do you think?

Thanks everyone for stopping by today.  

TGIF!!

Have a great day and enjoy your weekend.

A Baseball Birthday

Hi all my crafty friends, 

I'm here today to share another birthday card I made this month. 

This one is for my wonderful husband.  He loves it when I hand make his birthday cards.  

It's usually simply and always has something to do with BASEBALL!

LOL!

Here is my card and inside:

Ok, I guess you all know that my hubby is a fanatic Boston Red Sox fan.  And you know that state is crazy loyal when it comes to their sports not only baseball but all sports.  

So, every year I make him a baseball birthday card.  I always buy this paper from AcMoore.  I'm not sure what company its from.  I used some chipboard baseball stickers that my kids and I bought today.  I stamped happy birthday with my tiny Studio G Stamps.  I used cardstock and baseball brads from my stash.

Then I used a sentiment stamp from Whimsical Designs called "With Love".  Love using those stamps. 

So, I hope you all like my baseball card this week.  I will have more cards and other projects to share real soon. 

Thanks everyone for stopping by today.  

Please come back soon.

Quick Bday Card

Hi Everyone, I thought I would share a super quick card I made for Another Birthday Party my kids were invited to.  I only had an hour to do make this card so it was super quick. 

I used some K&Company paper from "Young Girl Flowers".  I believe  it's a Tim Coffey design.  Its pretty old paper I have had in my stash for some time.  I also used a Studio G stamps from Michaels.  I used a premade card from AcMoore.  Buttons and glitter glue from my stash.

Viola, card is born! hehe!!

Anyway, I want to wish everyone a happy Sunday and hope to be back soon with another project.

March Birthday Cards

Hi Everyone,

I'm here today to share some cards I have made for my hubby's family.  Both are males but these weren't as difficult as some in the past.  Maybe because I know what they like.  I don't know but it was a good excuse, right? :)

Here is a picture of them:

I'm still using those papers from Bobunny that I got super cheap at my local AcMoore.  I really like the baseball card.  It was stamp by TCP Studio Clear Stamps.  I used my Bic Markers.  Some buttons from my stash.  Distress the edges with Vintage Photo.  Every easy.

Thanks everyone for stopping by today.  I can't wait to start on my Easter Cards.  I have some ideas that I think you guys will like.  Check back soon.

Have a great Thursday!

Hugs, Friday



2nd Bday Card

Hello Crafty Friends,

I have finally finished creating my Sister's Bday card.  I just couldn't figure out what papers to use and anything else for that matter.  I came across some paper I bought at AcMoore and It came together.

Here it is:

I made a 5x5 card.  I distress the edges with my Making Memories distressing tool.  I used some burlap ribbon that I got from Walmart.  I recycle a tag I had in my stash.  It was AMM tag that I got some charms long ago and I thought it went perfectly.  I used jute rope for the tag.   Then I added some prima flowers that I got from my Tuesday Morning.  And I used some bling that I cut up from and extra bling that I didn't use.  So, I'm really proud of all the reusable items I added to this card. 

I hope you all like it.  Please leave a comment if you have any questions or comments.  I love reading them. 

Have a Great Sunday and Holiday tomorrow.

Hugs, Friday



Last 2 Flowers...

for a swap...  I wanted to share what I have come up with.  As you know, I'm doing a card and flower swap over on Nilianny's YouTube channel.  I had an idea of what I was making but just need the right papers.  So, I used the same papers from the collect that I used to make the card (DCWV Blossoms and Butterflies).  I thought it went together.  Here is my flowers:

I combined the mini paper rosette flowers (Tim Holtz) and my lace trims from my stash.  I really love the mini rosettes.  I just bought it at my local AcMoore store. 

I really need to use up all the laces in my stash.  I have bought and received from such generous ladies in a rak or swap.  Here is a picture of all my lace and various trims.  Please keep in mind that is not all of it. LOL... 

I have more in another closet hanging on binder rings.  I know I have a problem...  Need to stop hoarding them all and use them up.  hehe!!

I hope you all like and I can't wait for my partner to enjoy them.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek.  Have a Great Week, Everyone!!

My New Favorite Stamp.

     Hi everyone!  Happy Monday!  It is almost here.  What you say?  BACK to SCHOOL, is what I say!!  My kids will be going back to school soon.  I can't wait.  This summer has been busy with going to the pool, classes, and lessons.  I'm so glad it is almost over and a new school year begins.  You may think I'm terrible but I can't help it.  I feel like I'm a taxi cab most days... 

     Anyway, I wanted to share another card with you all.  I had to make a birthday card for a friend and I had used this sentiment again.  I had use it on some other cards I have made for friends.  It's my new favorite stamp.  It's from My Sentiment Exactly.  Here is the card...

     I just love this sentiment.  I just bought the TH's sewing embossing folder from my local AcMoore store.  I embossed it on some coordination paper.  I then sanded it to show the secondary color.  I finally used the barque and mini baroque Sizzix die.  Love this die.  I used a sheet of paper from the Lost & Found paper I got from Hobby Lobby.  Can you believe it?  I cutting into a new pack of paper.  It's amazing to me.  It had a sewing pattern and I had to use as the mat.  I cut out swirls from my Sizzix swirl sizzlits.  I glue down a spool with some lace and a black button.  I also and a stick pin too but I don't think you can see it. 

     So, she should be getting this tomorrow.  I hope she doesn't look at my blog.  hehe!!  Thanks everyone for stopping by and taking a peek... I hope you all have a wonderful week.

Hugs, Friday
