Teacher Christmas Gifts

I had to come up with a quick and cute idea for Jake's after school teachers so guess where I went...Pinterest of course! Aren't these adorable? Rudolph's nose is an EOS Lip Balm and I also included a Target gift card in the clear bag. Here is the link in case you need ideas for next year. :-)

Halloween Classroom Treats

I made these tiny Halloween treat boxes for Jake's classroom party today. Jake helped me stuff the boxes with candy and I pretty much did the rest. Super quick and cute!
 Hope everyone has a fun Halloween!

Paper Pumpkin Boo-tiful Halloween Treat Bags

Quick and easy Burlap Treat Bags!

I'm Back!!!

When we get our first cold snap here, it makes me want to start crafting again. Yay, it's time to get out the coats and sweaters! Halloween motivates me too since it is my second favorite holiday. There are so many neat crafts to make during this time of year and I like to make special Halloween treats for Jake's classmates too! I will share those with you towards the end of the month. 
Since we are counting down to Halloween, I decided to make this really cute and easy wreath from Stampin' Up. It came with all of the materials shown except a glue gun and the Halloween stamp. I am sold when I don't have to think about the materials to buy to make something and it all comes together in one kit.

This next wreath below is for my wonderful friend Lynette. She has been patiently waiting for this "Summer" wreath and yes I just finally finished it. So Lynette, I hope you like it and my apologies for taking FOREVER to make it! 

Have a nice Sunday everyone!

Freshly Made Sketches #136

I haven't participated in a Freshly Made Sketch (FMS) in a long time but I was so excited when my Stampin' Up! "Blendabilities" Markers arrived that I had to make time to use them. I also love the new Blended Bloom stamp so I went to work with the help of FMS and made this....

 

Jake was very excited to use my new markers too!

Happy Mother's Day

Hi there! I am a little late showing you these Mother's Day cards but here they are! I love the hexagon card and saw a similar card on Pinterest. There are so many card designs out there using the hexagon hive thinlit so I hope to use it even more. I was bored after making 5 of them though so I switched it up and created the other 3 cards (Picture 2 and 3) using some leftover items from the last Paper Pumpkin kit and the butterfly die which is retiring soon. Enjoy!

Another Paper Pumpkin Kit (March)

Here is another lovely paper pumpkin kit that has been sitting on my desk for a month. I really like the wood pieces and hope to see more of these in the new catalog which comes out next month. The Thank You cards will be great to use for teacher appreciation week!
