Teacher Appreciation Gift

Hi everyone!

Happy Saturday!

Today I get to show you another project for
Dr. Phil Scraps

I decided to make a really fun little gift set for 

your child's teacher. This could be used not only for Teacher's Appreciation Day but 

would also make a very cute gift for Valentine's Day.

This little gift has 2 parts to it.

Here is part 1:

A frapp jar that has been repurposed to hold some candies.

These are so easy to make.

All I did was take a Starbucks Frappachino jar and cleaned it really well.

After it is all dry, it's ready to decorate.

All I did was cut a strip of patterned paper 2" x 10.5" from the 

Scholastic Paper Packet (item #X7159B)

Before I adhered it to my bottle, I used some of the blue card stock,

also from the Scholastic Paper Packet (item #X7159B)

and used a border punch to give it the spiral edge look that a notebook has.

I layered my patterned paper on top and then attached it to my bottle using some really strong adhesive.

I used red liner tape. 

Once that was adhered, I stamped that adorable school house from the 

School Rocks Stamp Set (item #B1396) onto some white card stock

and colored the image with some colored pencils.

Then I hand cut it out and adhered it to the front of my jar using some foam adhesive.

For the lid, I stamped this adorable little

A+, also found on the School Rocks Stamp Set (item #B1396) using the Ruby Ink Pad (item #Z2170)

For part 2 of my gift set, 

I decided to make a cute little post it note holder.

How cute is that silhouette of the kids headed to school?

You can also find that on the School Rocks Stamp Set (item #Z2170).

All I did to make this was cut a strip of white card stock out at 3.5" x  7".

Then I scored at 3.25" and 3.75".

I decorated the front with the stamped image as well as some more of the paper

from the Scholastic Paper Packet (item #X7159B)

and rounded all of the bottom corners.

Then I just simply adhered a package of post it's to the inside.

Here is a picture of the post it note holder opened:

Here is one last picture showing both items in the set together:

I think it makes a super cute gift set for that special teacher in your child's life.

Valentine's Card with CANDi

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday!

Today I get to share another project with you using that awesome

Craftwork Cards CANDi!

In honor of Valentine's Day approaching,

I decided to make a cute and simple card.

I used Create A Critter 2 and cut out that cute little frog at 3".

I added some yellow stickles to his crown to make it sparkle and shine.

For his little cheeks, I used the Icing Sugar CANDi and simply colored it with a Melon Mambo marker so that it matched my card stock perfectly.

I also added some Rainforest CANDi to the incorporate more of the green.

Here is a close up of the parts with the CANDi:

There are so many great patterns and colors in the CANDi line.

Beautiful Pens!

Hi everyone!

Today I wanted to share with you all a fellow crafter that makes the most gorgeous pens!

I am always looking for a unique gift that I can't buy from a retail store. 

I found the perfect little gift when I came across The Pretty Pen!

I bought 2 of her pens for my daughter for Christmas, knowing that my daughter would love them and I was right!

Here are the pens that I purchased:

Aren't they fabulous?!?! 

Yup, my daughter is a Harry Potter fan, big time!

Here is a top view picture:

I absolutely love all the detail that she puts into these pens!

Here is a close up of Snape:

We love Snape! 

I am not getting any compensation from The Pretty Pen for this write up, I just wanted to pass the word along to anyone who may be looking for a unique gift. 

These pens are fabulous and so many cute designs to choose from!
