Heartfelt Thanks Gift Card Holders

Greetings dear blog friends,

I have been trying to get these whole craft space redo organized, but I keep getting sidetracked. I made a few more gift card holders today and wanted to share them with you.

I used that same paper pack as in my previous post, which was from Me & My Big Ideas. It's called "We Go to School" and has some really cute papers in it. I used A Child's Year for the tag.

I've listed this as a set of 6 in my Etsy store, here.

I'll share the measurements with you in the next post.

Stay Crafty.

Where to begin...

So I know I've been gone for a while, I honestly didn't mean to be. Things just get a little crazy and I spend like a month laying around rejecting the world and all that are in it. However, I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.

I've been rearranging my craft space (AGAIN). I'm now working out of my dining room and bought some nice bookshelves to hold all of my crafty things. Now to just bring it all up from the basement. My YourStory died over the weekend, darn thing wouldn't even turn on. I hope that PC will replace it, I've only used it once. Therefore, I wasn't able to finish my hall passes for my college roommate that is now a fantastic social studies teacher.

Instead, I worked on finishing some baby albums and made a quick gift card holder. Sorry about the dark photos.

I wanted to make some gift card holders to put up in my Etsy shop. With all the back to school hoopla that is going on, I figured....why not make them school themed. I found some 8x8 paper pads on clearance at Michael's for 3.99, so I picked them up. I want to say they were DCWV, but I could be wrong. I still need to add some velcro or something to keep them closed on their own.

Cute, huh? Well I'm off to make some more and get these Halloween crafts started. I promise I will be back soon with some more crafts.

Stay Crafty!!

Amber's Crafts and Stuff #22 - Back to School

Good Wednesday Morning,

It's time for another weekly challenge over at Amber's Crafts and Stuff. This week, that challenge is Back to School. Although school doesn't start here in Philadelphia until September 6th, I know there are many kids who have already started back. (My sister for instance, started August 4th) This week's challenge is sponsored by Di's Digi Downloads. This week's winner will receive five (5) free digi's from Di.

I wanted to do a layout for Miss A's book, since I've been feeling a bit better and need to take advantage of that. This layout is for her school picture from the grade she just completed, but it is school related...(ok, so I'm stretching just a little bit) I still need to add a few things to the layout. I goofed and forgot about the sponsor this week!








Details:
DCWV Guys Stack for the background paper and journal card (I loved the primary colors and the stars, because she finished the year on A-honor roll)
Locker Talk - for the title (4 inches) and the notebook paper (6 inches) which I will use to journal more about her first year in school here in Philly. I think I am going to cut out either the books or scissors and glue for the bottom right. It's missing something.

Thanks for stopping by and remember to head over to Amber's blog to see what the other design team members came up with and to enter your own project.

I'm entering this into this week's Celebrate The Occasion challenge which is also Back to School. Also in My Creative Time: Throwback Thursday Challenge.

Stay Crafty
