{Made it Monday} Teeny tiny bags

Not long ago, I found these Valentine bags by Christine Middlecamp.



Oh dear! All that layered paper, collage-y goodness just made me smile! I knew I had to do something similar! So, when the ladies at The LilyPad started releasing their BYOC goodies for April, I whipped up a couple of bags of my own!

Here they are in all their glory! Nothing extraordinary, but frankly, I'm quite proud of them! They turned out just lovely and I can't wait to give them away!











You can click hereto view them in my gallery at The LilyPad and to see all the credits!

Happy Monday, peeps!

Spring(ish) Break

Hey Lovelies!

It's Spring Break around here and I'm going to take the week off to get caught up and {*gasp*} possibly even ahead!

For the next few days I'll leave you with links to some of my favorite teacher appreciation gifts, since that's the topic we left off with on Friday!

The first is my post on The Girl Talk Blog with the freebie Sonic drink holder tag.



I hope you enjoy!

Happy Spring Break, people!

Who loves travel mugs?? (*I do* I do*)

I seriously love coffee travel mugs.

So much so, I started drinking coffee just to be able to carry one around with me in the morning! (Well, that and the fact that I like to, you know, wake up once the alarm goes off.)

I created this little duo for one of my awesome creative teams. Who knew paper could be so cute?!



I used this kit by Sahlin Studio and made an insert for a travel mug like the Starbucks Memory Tumblers. I love it!



Then I thought how cute it would be to give this as a gift. But...it needs a little something else, so I designed this little take out box to go along with it.



CUTE, NO?!?

What a perfect gift for a favorite teacher or that "hard to buy for" aunt who looooooooves, coffee!? (Ahem, not that have one of those.)

So, if you want to make one of these sets for yourself, just click on over and grab it now! You have to scroll down a bit to get to my portion of the post.

Have fun and send me a picture if you whip one up!



Happy coffee-ing!

I made a little album...

It's a tiny little scrapbook that fits inside an Altoids tin.

I'm in love with it. Seriously.

In love! It's so cute!

I made it with this kit. It was soooooo easy peasy!!

I've been asked about 20 times to do some crafty classes and I'm considering it, but I'm just not sure how it will go over.

Any thoughts on that?? I'd love to hear them!

And that's all for now!

We're off to the park to romp and play in the beautiful sunshine.

Happy Sunday!

We recycle around here...

I mean...it's the right thing to do, right?

Every now and then, I salvage a piece of recycled cardboard and whip out a little scrapbook.

Oh, I kid.

I've only done that once.

But, it sounded good, so I went with it.

Anyway, I did, indeed, whip out a little recycled scrapbook for Olivia yesterday.

One of the awesome designers I work for, had a really cool little brag book to be released today. Since we were off yesterday, I was able to pop the pictures in, print the 4x6's at Walgreens and plant them onto the cardboard all within 24 hours!

Sweet Shawna even bragged about me here! Now, that makes a girl feel good!

The scrapbook is really so so cute and Olivia just LOVES it! I've seen her a few times in the corner of her room, huddled up with her stuffed animals reading them the book. That just makes my heart happy.

I have one for Whit in the works and he has plenty of suggestions for things I can put in his. I love it.

In all honesty, that's the reason I stay up all hours of the night preserving these memories for my kiddos.

Well, that and the fact that the cuteness factor is TO. DIE. FOR. on some of these projects (Valentine's post coming soon).

Here are a few pictures I just snapped of her scrapbook:
















Thanks for letting me brag a little!

Happy Saturday!
