Hello There

Hello Friends! Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. It's been SO HOT, I can't even make it my car without breaking a sweat! My weekend was pretty low-key, but it was still really nice. We had another Food Truck Invasion in my neighborhood on Saturday so of course we had to go! I had a delicious Cuban sandwich along with a strawberry milkshake. Can you say delicious?! It was funny because Paige almost ate the whole thing! We had fun, but it was so darn hot we couldn't stay long.

So, about two weeks ago I took some time to make some cards for my stash. It seems that I'm always scrambling to make a card at the last minute, so the light bulb finally went off and I realized that I need to have cards on hand for any occasion. Today's card is just a simple hello. From time to time, a person may come to mind that you haven't spoken to in a while and when that happens, why not send a card? I know everyone loves to text, but how sweet is it when you receive a card in the mail and it's not even your birthday!

This card was quick to make because I finally pulled out my Mini Misti! Why did I wait so long to start using this awesome tool?? I used it for the flowers and the sentiment. The tool allows you stamp in the same area multiple times without a fuss. I love it!!! I used Raspberry Fizz cardstock from PTI for my card base. I pulled out a die that I got in a $25 goodie box from Amber Kemp-Gerstel to make the holes in the second layer. I finished off the card by stamping flowers from The Sweet Life and the sentiment is from the Scripted stamp set, both from PTI. Although this card is simple, I can see myself making lots of these in a rainbow of colors. 

Well, I hope your Monday is off to a great start and thank you so much for stopping by!

Classroom Gift

Hello Friends! Sorry for the long absence! Geez, I didn't realize how long it had been until I opened up the blog and saw the last date I posted! Trust me, I've been busy crafting and have lots to share, I just have to find the time to take pics and share with all of you.

So, Paige will be going into a new classroom in August and of course I had to make something for the new room. She'll be going from Tiny Tots to Tot Time and will now be on the regular school year calendar, she's getting to be a big girl! I decided to make a canvas project that can be hung on the one of the walls in her classroom.

I used Echo Park Teacher's Pet patterned paper and the All Apples stamp set from Reverse Confetti. I am loving that stamp set! I see many teacher gifts being made with it. I adhered everything with Mod Podge and also added more on top to give it a nice finish. I'm excited for the school year to begin and I can't wait to find out who her lead teacher will be.

Well, that's it for me today and I hope to be back soon with more crafty goodness! I hope you have a great day and thank you so much for stopping by.
