Back 2 School Projects

August 25, 2013

     So today is day two of the KK8 day focus on back to school projects.  We specifically had to use apples in our projects.
     Since my little one hasn’t started school yet I couldn’t do a layout so I had to get my ideas flowing.  I came up with an altered wipes case.  I went out and found a school themed paper, with apples of course, and a set of school stickers.  I had the wipes case around the house already since we recently finished potty training.  The whole project took two sheets of paper, one patterned and one solid, and one pack of stickers.  Total cost…maybe $3.00

     I also chose to decorate the top so that you couldn’t see the brand name of the wipes. 
    Now think of all the cool things you could fill this with!  Depending on the child’s age maybe leaving it filled with wipes is still the way to go.  If not, about 9-12 packs of pocket size tissues would fit in here.  It could fit about 10-11 packs of colored pencils.  Maybe 9 small boxes of crayons.  Or if you want to be a really good parent fill it with miniature candy bars!
     With the scrap of patterned paper, and stickers, I had left I made a card to write M’s daycare teacher a note.
I hope this has inspired you to try something new, and please head on over to the KK8 blog to see what the rest of the design team has come up with for back to school.

Mom’s Birthday Card

July 5, 2013

     My Mom’s birthday is June 24th, but with Dad’s on July 4th and Faith’s on July 3rd we did one large get together this year.  As the cost of cards has gotten ridiculous (the new Hallmark line is $7 – $12!) I’ve taken to trying to use my supplies and make my own.  

    Mom’s favorite color is red, but I didn’t have any accent paper that didn’t come out looking like a red, white and blue 4th of July card.  I decided to use the color she wears most of the time…navy.

    I used Bazzil cardstock for the Navy and Cream.  The stamp is Triple Treat Flower by Stampin’ Up.  I also used the matching Stampin’ Up punches, but gosh if I remember their names now.  The ink color is Brilliant Blue.  I really like how it came out.  It’s pretty, but not over frilly if that makes any sense at all. Oh, I also did a top fold card just for something different.  
     I really need to find some more of the blue ribbon. I think I’ve used in in three projects lately.  It’s actually not crafting ribbon, but was wrapped around a blanket that my friend Anita gave M when he was born.  Funny – it’s my favorite ribbon and the blanket is M’s favorite too.
   Have you been making your cards due to the increased prices?
