Back to School!

#1 Teacher Gifts

Hey all!

So, along with the bus driver's gift, I also sent in little treat bags for all my kids' teachers. (The 3 oldest, anyways. Twins go back to pre-k next week!)

I used a few files from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs and the to/from stamps are by Jaded Blossom.

Inside the bags are a bottle of water with a to-go packet of iced tea mix, a dark chocolate Dove bar and a mini hand sanitizer.  Staples for a first day back to school! :)

The teachers all loved them!

Be sure to check back soon to see what I make for the pre- teachers!

Have a scrap happy day!

Back to School!!!

Ready to "ROLL"

It's back to school time in my neck of the woods (YAY!) and I like to send then back with little treats for their teachers, and of course, the bus driver!

So, for the bus driver, I thought of this clever idea of ready to "roll", and filling a container with Tootsie Rolls! Now, I am sure I probably saw this, or something like it, on Pinterest at some point and it stuck in my brain because I am in no way THAT clever! :)

I had a paint can from M's on hand, so I filled that with Tootsie Rolls and then made a "title piece" for the top using MTC.

For the tag, I used a few files from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs and then just tied it on with some ribbon. 

Quick and simple gift just to show you thought of them :)

After all, they play just as important role in our kids' day as their teachers! :)

Until next time......

Happy Scrappin'

Happy Birthday!

Sharing a sweet "Elmo" birthday card I made using a fun file from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. 

 "Sunny Days Gang" has so many cute characters, it was hard to choose which to use first!

This card would be perfect for any little  guy on his special day!

Until next time....

Happy Scrappin'!

It's a FROZEN~MINION Birthday Bash!!!!

Birthday Bash!!!

My daughter and one of her friend's were turning 6 within days of each other, so her Mom and I thought it would fun, and practical, to have one BIG party!

Well, Maddie wanted a Frozen theme and Maya wanted Minions. So, we came up with a Frozen Minion theme.  The biggest problem, both themes were next to impossible to find in stores!

I hand made both girls cards.

I used several files from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs, Stickles, and sentiment stamps by Jaded Blossom.

The Minions are from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons, and again I used Stickles.

Here's a pic of the birthday girls!

Maya & Maddie!

We had 2 pinatas, 2 cakes, about 40 kids and a bounce house!

Oh! And Elsa came to do face painting!!

I also made all the goody bags, too!

I used files from SVG Cutting Files for the Elsa & Olaf bags and the Minion is again from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.

Because I had to make so many, and because I waited til the night before, I decided to use the png file and print and cut feature on my Cameo to save on time.  It worked fabulously!

Everyone had a great time and both girls thought it was the bestest party ever!

Success!

Next up will be my twins' 5th birthday..... Minnie Mouse and Dinosaurs????

Stay tuned.............

Happy Birthday Card!!

Happy Birthday!!

Hey all!  So today I have a special birthday card to share with you all..... my daughter's!!  She turned 6 yesterday and will be having her "Frozen" themed party this weekend.

She looks forward to her birthday card from me every year. So, sweet, right? :)

For her card this year I used several files from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  I used the png file that it is included with each file with my the print and cut feature on the Cameo.

I then used Stickles to dress them up and some rhinestones.

Then I busted my new stamps from Jaded Blossom, "Hello Candies" to add some fun sentiments to the front.

She LOVED it!!!

So easy and so much fun to make!!!

Be sure to leave me some love in the comments!

End of the Year Teacher Gifts

ORANGE you Glad it's Summer?

My kids' last day of school was the other day, and I always make the teachers, (and the bus driver, bus monitor, teacher aides, school secretaries, and school therapists) something for and end of year gift.  

I saw this idea on Pinterest, you can find the original post HERE, and thought it was super cute and perfect for the end of the school year!

I bought a whole bunch of orange stuff, FUN stuff, like bubbles, frisbees, candy, water balloons, cups, shot glasses, oranges, tic tacs... anything I found that was orange!

For the bags, I bought plain white gift bags and decorated them using my Cameo and MTC and "Got Juice? Mice" file by Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.

I also used the scalloped circle from "Lots of Labels" to make the tags.

I made a total of 22 of these bags. I think I could make this mouse in my sleep! haha

They were a huge hit with everyone tho!  Everyone thought they were super fun! Mission accomplished!

Thanks for coming by and I would love for you to come by my fan page, CBC Scrapbooking to see more of my work!

Coaches Gifts!

Don't forget about the coaches!

I have 3 kids playing baseball this year, in 3 different divisions.  They all have at least 3 amazing coaches.  I made them all a little treat box, using My Scrap Chick's popcorn box and then decorated it using Little Scraps of Heaven Designs "Little League" file.

I filled them with some baseball related treats.... sunflower seeds, peanuts (I asked about allergies before hand!) Dubble Bubble, a baseball bat pen and some chocolates.  Nothing major, but the coaches all loved them.  A little treat to get them thru the last couple of games & practices!

I made a total of 12, 5 red, 7 orange.

Hope you liked them and that they have inspired you to make something for the coaches in your life! :)
