Oh Baby!

I have been wanting to make one of these for quite some time. I love doing the chalkboard technique and this is a super cute way to incorporate it. I think it would also be adorable for a teacher's card. But, since I don't have any baby cards in my stash I thought I should do this instead. 

The cardstock by itself is too thin to let the easel stand on its own, so I backed it with Vanilla Coaster Board.

Thinking of You

This week has been hairy, and I'm exhausted so my creativity is in the basement tonight. But with the help of Pinterest, I was able to CASE this cute little card. I've been trying to make myself create SOMETHING everyday. I think maybe it's my mental justification for my need to hoard craft supplies?

I am so addicted to this "Hardwood" stamp, it's ridiculous!

Cardstock ~ Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Soft Sky, Sahara Sand

Ink ~ Early Espresso

Stamp Sets ~ Hardwood, Banner Blast, Thinking of You

Embellishments ~ Pearls, ribbon, string

Sweet Success #153: Valentine's Treats for Teachers!

Can it be? Really? I'm ready for a Holiday before it's here? Today I decided to make treat bags for the kids' teachers. These are SO cute! They each hold a little chocolate. Who doesn't love to get chocolate for Valentine's Day? I had so much fun creating these. I still have some retired embellishments, so this was a great way to use them up. I still am in {love} with the Soda Pop Tops and the Designer Builder Brads. I'm crossing my fingers that Stampin' Up! will bring them back.
