YEAR END TEACHER GIFT AND TOOTH FAIRY BOX...

I am linking this project up to MADE IT MYSELF MONDAYS.....come play along and share what you've made....

ALERT ALERT....this post contains LOADS OF PICTURES....(SMILE)
Okay don't say I didn't warn ya....hehehe....I have some fun projects to share with ya today....
First is the project I made for my sons teacher for tomorrow....tomorrow is their last day of school...YIPEEE....I used two new sets from the Cutting Cafe....MATCHBOOK BOX SET and MINI NOTE PAD AND CARD SET....I must say I love both of these sets....

The MATCHBOOK BOX SET comes with a matchbook cover as well as a regular lid..I used the regular lid on this project
The JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING FROM ME TO YOU tag is also from the Cutting Cafe
Here is the inside of the box...see that red lid..this comes in the set also...it is a divider so that you can hide or divide things...underneath, I put some handmade envelopes for the teacher to use...all she has to do is pull on the loop to lift.....I made some little creme wraps to go around the cards and note cards
envelopes....this is also a template in the mini note card and card set....
A few of the note cards....these are so cute..I actually matted them on another piece of cardstock...there are 18 different note pad images in the set
and here are the little note folded cards I made....I just used the apple shaped card...(I shrunk it down) and the numbers embossing folders from Provo Craft
I had my little Benjamin write a little note to his teacher and then we added a Starbucks card in the envelope with his note....this will be the first thing she see's when she opens the box.

Another image in the set..I added this to the back of the box

Next up is a TOOTH FAIRY box that I made for my niece....she is a total sweetheart....I used the new TOOTH SHAPED CARD SET for this project as well as the TOOTH MATCHBOOK BOX SET.....
I added a little ribbon pull so that she could easily open up the matchbook
Here is the inside of the box.....little records that she can keep when - where and details about each tooth
sorry photo bad on this one
and she will be able to put all her teeth underneath this divider that comes in the set.


Thanks for visiting me and be sure to check out the new sets...hugs

ROAD TRIP ANYONE................................

Well the weather is nice, the kids are just about ready to be done with school...so that means it is ROAD TRIP TIME.....not sure where we are going this year as a family....ANYHOO.....

These projects below are for SANDY'S CHALLENGE...check it out...she is fantastic...

There is a new fun couple of sets over at The Cutting Cafe....both of these two cards come from the set called ITS ROAD TRIP TIME....this set is filled with some fun stuff for a road trip...thereLink is a black and white and colored road trip confetti sheet that I love....you can cut out the greetings or use the full sheets.....
The set also comes with two shaped card signs....I used the Interstate one on this first card....and the VACATION TIME comes from the confetti sheet....I thought this would be fun to either put two pictures in or send to a friend who is going on a trip.


This last one here uses the cute car with luggage and the black and white confetti sheet...I also used the ASSORTED SCALLOP SET 1 for the brown scallops going around the card..

Okay I have 3 cards to share with ya today...all come from the new CRUISIN' BY TO SAY HI SET...this is a very fun set..there are 3 different cars in the set.....the images come in black and white for coloring in as well as some colored images....I tried to do a variety of projects with the set using the one car....
This first one I just used one of the smaller cars that was already colored....I also used for the little tag the VALENTINES DAY MINI WORDSNext up CRUISIN' BY TO SAY HI I paper pieced the larger car....the set comes with a few pieces to paper piece the cars....add some rhinestones to the wheels and the street is from the ON THE ROAD HUGE STAMP...and finally (my favorite)...this one was super duper quick..I based it on the MOJO CHALLENGE MOJO190..I just printed the car on kraft paper and added some doodling along with two red rhinestones to the car and that was it for the car...then just did a bit of crazy stitching around the car in red...the little mini circle is from the GOODBYE HUGE CIRCLE WORD...I just reduced it in size...Well that is it for me....I leave ya with a pic of my oldest and his girlfriend getting ready to go to their senior ball...picture isn't the best...I just copied it from their facebook page....hugs
