Fun in the Sun...

that is what we've been enjoying here in Ontario Canada! I love this stamp set that is in the Summer Mini Catalogue. Summer Splash is such a cute and fun stamp set. The sentiment is from Sunny Fun which is also in the Summer Mini Catalogue. This catty is full of great products.

Colour combo for this card is Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie, Tempting Turquoise, and Early Espresso. Just fun and bright combo.

Teacher & Students Gifts

What a great year it has been with Shelby going to school!! She has learned so much in the last 10 months!!! Her Daddy and I are super proud and pleased with how well she did!!

GREAT JOB SHELBY!!!! :)

Here are some special gifts made for our super special teacher and all the great friends Shelby made in JK.

Here is the card made for Shelby's teacher! The stamp sets I used for this card are both retired but I just love both these sets and won't let them go. The are First Day and Tart & Tangy. However, the Thank You stamp is not retired and from the Curly Cute stamp set.

This little desk is so adorable!!! I found this desk on Stampin Queen's blog. I just loved these desk when I saw them, I had to make one for Shelby's teacher. This is the front view. Below are the top and drawer view. The great thing about this desk is that it was easy to make. All the drawers are filled with goodies for the teacher such as paper clips, thumbtacks, Liquid paper dry lines and chocolate.

The drawers are made using the Big Shot and the Matchbox die.  

These Sour Cream Containers are the gifts for Shelby's new friends. These are super fun, quick and easy to make. Each package had a little treat for the children to enjoy.
