Scholastic

I found the Scholastic paper to be very similar to last year’s Typeset paper. Still, it is fun to work with and I will definitely use it for the kids’ school pages. I made this cute little pencil holder with it, for the kids to give to their teacher on the first day of school. I found the pattern for it here.

Supplies Used:
Paper: Scholastic
Accessories: Burlap Ribbon, Paper Flower, Bitty Pearl, Pencils (Dollar Tree)

Clementine

I was wandering through Pinterest again and came across a card made with the Clementine paper pack. I had to make my own version of it. The original card was done by Allisa Chilton and can be seen on her blog here.  I used the new burlap ribbon, which is my absolute favorite new product. I can’t get enough of it.

Supplies Used:
Paper: Clementine

Creative Claire

Claire is my oldest niece and she is very special to me. She moved with her family to Medicine Hat and I miss her so much.

Being the oldest of four, she rarely has time to herself, and was super excited that she was going to be able to come and stay with us all by herself…no sisters or brothers.

She loves to craft and is so very creative. We wanted to make something special for her new room. This is the first time, since she was less than two, that she would have her own bedroom. when they lived in Saskatoon, she shared a room with both of her sisters! I am very proud of what she came up with and I think it will look super in her bedroom!

Happy Birthday, Jess!

Another friend, another birthday! Jess’s birthday was on Monday. She was my boss at the Co-op, but now that I am not working there anymore, we can be “real” friends. It was hard for us because we hit it off right away when I started there, but because she was my immediate supervisor, we couldn’t really have a relationship outside of work. Now we can and we are both happy about it. Our kids are the same age and we will definitely getting together a lot more now. So, my real friend, Happy birthday!

All products used in this card were from CTMH. The paper was from the Cherry-O pack. Other things used were the tulip mini medleys, the autumn daisy flowers (retired), big pinks flowers, heartfelt wonder, cocoa grosgrain and tulip grosgrain. The stamp sets used were Treasures of the Heart (retired), A Little Everything (March 2010 SOTM), and Say It In Style.

Happy Birthday, Rae!

It was my friend, Rae’s birthday on Sunday. You will find that I always post birthday cards after the fact. that is because I would hate for someone to see their card on my blog before they get the real version. So, Rae, happy belated birthday.

Rae loves hydrangeas and I had some paper ones, so I thought that the Bella paper pack was the best match. I used some Laundry Line rub-on’s from My Mind’s Eye and some adhesive backed half pearls. For the inside, I used a couple more rub-ons and For Every Occasion stamp set. I am really pleased with how it turned out. A pretty card for a pretty lady.

A Purse for Mrs. Colton

Mrs. Colton was an EA at William’s school. She worked with his class a lot in grade one. She wasn’t with him as much in grade two, but he was always happy when he got to talk with her at recess or while he was waiting for the school bus. She announced her retirement a couple of weeks ago and that made him very sad. He figured we should make a gift for her as well and I thought that was a great idea. So, we made another purse with another set of cards.

This time I used the Bella paper. I thought since she was retiring, she might like it better than the school papers. She loved it and told William that she would come visit him and make sure he was being good. It is just the start of summer vacation and he is already looking forward to fall when Mrs. Colton comes to visit the school.
