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...there 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..

FINALLY............MY VERY OWN VERSION OF

ELISHA JEAN.................so I went to Green Tangerines last night and picked up about 8 copics.....caused I so badly wanted to do a brown skin Elisha Jean.....it reminds me of my Ebony Elisha Jean.....anyhoo, I was lost when it came to choosing the right color tones...well believe it or not there was an instructor there and she literally spent about an 1 hour with me going over shading and stuff....take about being generous with your time...especially when one would normally have to pay for that kind of info.....anyHOO here is my version..I still got lots of learning to do, but I love her.....her dress is in 3d.....pockets are in glitter pink and there are pink rhinestones on the bottom of her dress, shoes and hair bow....the little tag is from the VALENTINES DAY MINI WORDS
JUST BECAUSE FRAME is from the ALL OCCASION FRAME SET
ELISHA JEAN is part of 3 girls called EVERYDAY ELISHA JEAN AND FRIENDS

MEET EVERYDAY ELISHA JEAN AND FRIENDS...

Hello everyone...I am super excited to have finally finished a set of little girls for the Cafe site...Elisha Jean is a little girl that reminds me of my own daughter and of course I had to make a few other girls to go along with her....each of the girls will be dressed the same, but their faces are a bit different as well as their hair...a little something for everyone (smile)...the first set is called everyday because they are dressed in a plain dress that can be easily paper piece....the set comes with the dress separate to paper piece if you like...they are sold individually and as a set...I hope to expand on their wardrobe as holidays approach and with the change of seasons....look for some projects to come soon....you can find the sets here

this one is Elisha Jean
