Strawberry Explosion: Teacher Gifts

This is a picture heavy blog post today!

End of the school year is this coming week (YEA!!!!).  I'm sure my kids are excited, but not by much.  Yes, I was the over achiever all those years, but I'm old now :).  I am ready for homework-free evenings.

As you can see it *appears* as though I went all out for the teachers this year, but really these products made it super simple.  The stamping was amazingly simple and easy and I stayed with the same color theme for each one.  I used DT's idea for a pouch (anyone? who's was it??) from the berry basket die.  I bought cellophane wrap and my daughter insisted on the curly-Q ribbon (and she was right!) and voila!

Enjoy!

Thank you guys!

Dh asked for some "male-themed" thank you cards.  This was the first one.  He liked it, so I might do a few more like it ;).  It was quick and easy and something tells me guys are not going to say "ooohhh, where did you get that card??"  And then want to keep it! (LOL)

Enjoy!

Lots of Cards Today

One month shouldn't contain the need to make so many sympathy cards when most of the recipients are in their 30s... but that is how the end of November was for many of my friends and their family.  I'll say it again... tell those you love how much you cherish them.  Put aside your differences and cling to your similarities.  Give them a hug! 

Enjoy!

Easter layout

We've been discussing scrapbooking quite a bit over on the forums so I thought I'd show a layout (to finally complete my son's book- 1/2008 to 12/2010) that I did a couple of weeks ago. It was Easter 2010. It was a super important layout for me to complete, because this is the Eater when my son accepted Christ.

I used some recent PTI product that I purchased from all those great PTI gift cards I'd been saving. :) I LOVE Half & Half... it is a DREAM come true!!

Enjoy!
