Back to School Teacher Gifts!

Hey All!!!
I am back, kinda. As most of you know I went in for surgery last week, well, it was supposed to be minor, but like everything else in my life, did not go as planned, and turned into major surgery again.
I am doing good, but recovery is painful so I am tad behind on my orders and projects!
I've been home almost a week now, and managed to get some back to school gifts done, as my grade school kids started this week!


This first one is for a 5th grade teacher. Lots of classroom supplies and some yummy treats for him too!!
I used bits and pieces of "ABC-123" from Scrapping Bug Designs to accent the bucket. They are mod podged onto the mats, then those were mod podged onto the bucket. (This bucket, btw, used to have ice cream in it! Totally upcycled it by removing the labels with acetone. Thank you, Pinterest!)
I made little packet holders for the water bottles and used a freebie from SVG Cuts for the lemon slice.

Here's one for the first grade class...... used a lunchbox from DC9

And the Kindergarten one, with my pretty girl holding it, of course!

Just some simple ideas for those Back to School gifts! Hope you liked!!

Happy Scrappin'

Hello Kitty Birthday Party!!

My Maddie is slightly obsessed with Hello Kitty, just a little! She will be 5 in a couple days and we just had her birthday party, Hello Kitty of course!
I did my best at creating a fabu HK themed party, using some ideas I found on Pinterest, which you can find original Pins for on my Party Ideas board.

The Cake: (please keep in mind, I am NOT a cake decorator!)

I also made favor boxes, using a popcorn box file from My Scrap Chick. The Hello Kitty file is from September Ninth & my bestie from Creative Cricut Designs made the Kerropi file for me!

And then there were some games! We played a classic game of Musical Chairs and my adapted versions of Pin the Tail on the Donkey..... Pin the BOW on Hello Kitty & Pin the BOW TIE on Kerropi (for the boys!)

I freehanded the faces on poster board and used card stock for the details. I used a bow from another HK file from September Ninth, enlarged it, welded it in MTC and cut them all out. Then cut out all the kids' names, glued them on, and Stickled around the edges to add some sparkle!

Maddie had a blast, and so did all her friends!!!
Please stop by and check out my fan page at CBC Scrapbooking to see more of my work :)

Til next time, Happy Scrappin'!!!

It's the Wednesday Weekly!

Hey all!!!
We are back again with our Wednesday Weekly Challenge!!! Brought to you by Creative Cricut Designs & CBC Scrapbooking!
This week, Jennifer chose a border challenge, any theme goes!

I am border challenged, so this was an actual "challenge" for me! Way to go, Jennifer! lol

I went went a school theme, Kindergarten to be specific. I used 2 files from Scrapping Bug Designs, "ABC-123" and "Kindergarten title".

Here are the borders:

Then I went and put them right onto a LO. I could not for the life of me find the pics I wanted for page 2, so they are blank for now.

The "Top 10" list was printed out, then I fussy cut around it and stamped "Top 10" and all the numbers. (Proud moment for me! haha)

And here is Jennifer's border:

And then she put hers right onto a cute layout as well:

For all the details on her layout, please go visit her blog HERE and eave her some blog lovin' too!!! :)

So, first you need to know WHY I chose this as my project...... My son Austin, 6, is always leaving me "mail" in my pocketbook. Fills out the envelop "his way" and everything. Then he tells me, "Mom, it looks like there is something sticking out of your pocketbook. You better check it out."  They are always little notes thanking me for making him lunch, or doing something or just notes to say I love you.

So, with Austin in mind, I decided to make us some mail boxes!! This file by My Scrap Chick also comes with little postage stamp cards, which I made 3 of to have on hand to "mail" back to him!

He got SO excited when he saw these..... and the mail started right away!!! lol He put his card from me in his scrapping box because he wants to keep it forever! How sweet is he!?!?!? 

Now, you all want a chance at some candy?? Of course you do!!
I have a 4 piece set of some beach bears, from the "Beach Bears 1" file from  My Scrap Chick.
