Love Bots

My students and I are munching on yummy chocolates,

cupcakes, and cookies today!

{Hopefully I won't gain 10 pounds by the time the dismissal bell rings}

I made these "Love Bots" creations to pass out at school today.

I'm wishing you all a Happy Valentine's Day!

Hey Monday!

I smiled when I first saw this little dude!

He is really an embellishment for a Smash Book...but I wanted to use him to make a card. I always make girly cards and want to start making some masculine ones too. This one is for the fun Create Blog challenge (ribbon tabs).

For a bit of fun I added some canvas and of course my ribbon tabs. The striped ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Hope you like this little dude as much as I do!

Creating with Wood - Day 4 - Pixie Dust Paperie

Welcome back to Day 4 of Creating with Wood!

I've made some "Princess" party favors. And did you know that we are having loads of fun at the Pixie Dust Paperie challenge this month? Here's the inspiration photo...

The Land of Fairy Tales

Create a project (card, layout, altered project etc)

based on the inspiration picture

I got the wooden wands at Michael's for only 19 cents. Wow...I couldn't pass up that deal. :)

The winner of the Pixie February Challenge will get a $15 gift certificate to the Pixie Dust Paperie Shop. The challenge ends on February 29th! And here's a photo of the adorable February kit. Be sure to order yours today!

Creating With Wood - Day 3 - Samantha Walker Hop

Welcome to Day 3 of "Creating With Wood"! I am also having fun today with the Samantha Walker Blog Hop!

If this is your first stop, you will want to click {HERE} to the spot where the hop begins.

If you missed Day 2 click of the series - {Here}

Now let the hop fun begin!

My first project is an altered wooden rolling pin. I dressed it up with Samantha Walker's Orchard Harvest paper. This could serve as great table decor or a great addition to a gift basket.

You can find all of Samantha's products in the Creative Imaginations store {Here}

And here's a coordinating card made with more of S.W. Orchard Harvest paper & die-cuts. {I added a wooden button to this one}

Did you know that the Kokeshi Paper Digi Kit and the Cuckoo 4U True Blue Papers are on sale this week? Here's a third project made using the adorable Kokeshi girls. I made cupcake toppers using wooden skewers. :)

You can find all of Samantha's digi kits in the Jessica Sprague store {Here}.

Your next stop on the hop is the wonderful Jennifer Evans' blog.

This month, Samantha is giving away a set of Spellbinders dies…the Blossom tags and Accents set!

Creating with Wood - Day 2

If you missed Day 1 in the series please click {HERE}

Welcome back to Day 2 of "Creating with Wood". I'm having some fun on my blog this week by creating various projects with wood elements on them. Today's post will feature wooden skewers and mini wooden clothespins.

I also created a CAS card for the

Cas-ual Fridays "On the Red Carpet" challenge.

I was inspired by the movie "Baby Mama" with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. I laugh so much every time that I see this one. It's one of my fave comedies. :)



I really love using wooden skewers. If you don't want to buy any, just ask your waiter or waitress to snag you some before you leave your fave restaurant. :)

I made this elephant skewer to stick inside of a cupcake for a baby shower.

I hope you all are enjoying the series this week. Stop back by tomorrow for Day 3 of "Creating with Wood". The Samantha Walker Blog Hop will debut tomorrow too. :)

Creating with Wood - Day 1

I've got a little fun for you guys this week!

I'm kicking today off with 4 fun-filled days of projects that are created with wood elements. I hope you enjoy day number one!

I created this project for Lessology Challenge #11 - Flights of Fancy. The challenge starts today and requires you to make a project that incorporates flight! Jenny Johns is offering a fabulous prize pack of Ippity stamps. How cool is that? Click {here} for all the details!!!

I got the little wooden birdie from Michael's. I thought about painting it white, but changed my mind because I like the natural wood color. I used a glue dot to add a piece of recycled canvas and a mulberry paper flower to my little birdie to dress it up a bit.

I also made a coordinating mini card with

more of the recycled canvas!

Be sure to join me again tomorrow for Day 2 of - "Creating with Wood". And don't forget to hop on over to LESSology to check out the DT sneaks and to join in on all the fun!

Simple, Flat, & Sweet

Happy Wednesday ya'll!!!

I had not planned on taking a bloggy break this week, but things have been super duper busy at school this week. There are sooo many standardized tests to focus on. I think my student's brains have turned to mush by now. :(

Here's a flat "thank you" notecard that I made using My Little Shoebox and an SRM Sticker.

I've been working behind the scenes on some super brand new projects. I can't reveal them yet but stay tuned for a whole lotta fun coming up here on my blog.

And have you been keeping up with all of the CHA product reveals? I love seeing all of the yummy goodies. I'm doing some extra tutoring for the next three months to support my craft shopping addiction...LOL

And have you seen some of the new Pretty Little Studio products? As a new member of their design team I am so excited that I get to work with yummies likes these. You can find these on the PLS website. Be sure to check these out...

Be Back Soon...Hugs!!!
