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 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'!

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!

Make A Splash!

Scrappy Thursday!

I am not sure where the time is going anymore, but I do not have enough time to scrap these days!  With 3 kids playing baseball, and in 3 different divisions, we are at at least one field every night, sometimes two! Plus weekends as well.  Always on the GO!

But I did manage to get this page done.  I know I have more pics somewhere, so there will prob be a page 2 at some point as well :)

All files are by Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.

I would love for you to check out my fan page and give me a LIKE, CBC Scrapbooking!

Sparkly Princess Birthday

"Once upon a time...."

Hey all!

So I started scrapping Maddie's 3rd birthday, which was a "Sparkly Princess" theme. :)

I used a couple files from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs for this LO and then used Strawberry thickers to create the title.

I absolutely LOVE the Princess files from LSHD!

Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to check back to see more LO's and paper piecings!

Remember, you can find me on FaceBook HERE and my Etsy store HERE.

Hey all!!  

So I have a super special LO to share with you today!

I made this LO for my son's future MIL.  Yup, he's 7 and he has it all planned out! LOL

The story behind this LO:  
He has had a crush on a girl, Lexy, since last year.  They were in the same Kindergarten class.  Sadly, they are in different classes this year, and Austin misses her, a lot!  He had asked if he could give her a Valentine. Seeing how they are in different classes, I was going to mail it to her.  No biggie.  
I was heading out to Target and Michael's one day and he asked if he could come and if we could go to Toys R Us too so that he could use a GC he had from his birthday. Sure, no problem!
We get to the toy store, and he heads for the GIRL aisles, and walked up and down EVERY SINGLE ONE. I asked him what he was doing "Looking for something special for Lexy."  Very matter-of-fact.
We shopped for quite a while there and at Target, where he also spent  some of his tooth fairy money.  Long story short (kinda! lol)  He picked out a pink bear, chocolates and some Debbie Cakes, every girls dream gift! lol
He also made her a card, b/c "handmade means from the heart".  Yup, he's a crafter's son. :)

 We made a special trip to her house on Valentine's Day to deliver his special gifts, and

of course, I took pics!!

I used the "Oh So Loved" file for the main elements, then added a retired freebie "Interlocking Hearts", the big heart is from "Wanted For Stealing Hearts"  and the tag is from "Tag 1"

I also used some Rumple Ribbon from Love Bug Creations!!

And here is the note he wrote to her to tuck behind a picture:

Best love story ever!

I absolutely LOVE how my bears turned out, and the whole LO really!  Of course, having such cute pics definitely helps!

Happy Scrappin'!

Playful Ponies

Scrappy Thursday!

I am featured on the LSHD DT Blog today with this bright and cheery LO!

I used the "Pretty Ponies" file.

My girls are always playing with their ponies, especially Jessie, so I know this will be the first of many Pony LO's to come!

Scrappy Thursday!!

As many of you know, Dr. Seuss' birthday was on March 2. My kids celebrated his birthday in school on Monday, so I have a few LO's to make!

Thankfully, Little Scraps of Heaven Designs has this cute new file "Fun to Have Fun" so it has made making these LO's super easy, and FUN!

My 7 yr old had to make a hat at home to wear, and he actually won 1st place for "Tallest Hat"!

Here's a LO I made for his school book:

I made the title in MTC and used the cat's hat.

My 5 yr old made a hat in school and on it she wrote, "I Love to Read!", which she does!

Using the same file, here is the LO I made for her book:

Obviously, I still have to print out the pics, but my LO's are ready and waiting!

Thanks for popping by and I would love for you to follow me and come like me on facebook, CBC Scrapbooking!

Happy Scrapping!

A Special Valentine's Day Mini

I have made a Valentine's Day mini album, using a few different files from LSHD;

My Squeakheart, Beary Sweet, and Lots of Labels.

The album measures 5x7 and has lots of places to put pics,notes and mementos.

This is a special project, as it will be raffled off at a local Valentine's Day Ball to raise money for kids fighting cancer.

If you are able to and would like to make a donation, please click HERE.

All money raised at the ball will be put into this Pan Mass Challenge fund and donated.

You can also read the story of the little girl who has inspired this whole journey and has brought many people together :)

There are a lot of pics!

WANTED!

Wanted! 

For Stealing Hearts!

Happy Thursday!!  Colleen here sharing another Lo with you!

My 7 year old is always making "heart hands" when I take his pic.  Anyone who knows him, knows he is a real charmer, and he will definitely be the one to steal some hearts!

So, I made this LO, using "Wanted For Stealing Hearts" to put some pics of him and his heart hands.

Of course, I do not have the pics printed yet. ;)

Thanks for coming by and have a scrap happy day!!

My Little Funny Face LO

Scrappy Thursday!

 Today I would like to share with you a LO I have made using a few different files.

These are pics of my oldest, now 11, back when he was 4! (Just a little behind! lol)

This child always loved, and still does, making silly faces in the camera! These are some of my most favorite pics of him!

I used the "Funny Face Title", "Funny Face Boy", "Journal Tags" and a "Corner Arrow" designed by Tricia Moore.

Perfect files for these pics!
