Gifts for Bus Driver

I also like to give other folks that help us during the year to get our Son back and forth from school everyday so I always make the bus driver a quick little gift card. This year we did Gas card and Target Card.
I know that last year I did a little yellow bus but they year I wanted to be fun colors....same bus (next needs to be new) but I was once again waiting to the last minute.

You can't see it very well in the photo but the paper has sparkles 

Finally the letters are up!

I have had the letters done for a long time but finally we put them up on the wall! I LOVE THEM!!!!
They filled up the wall wonderfully!!

The final dimensions on the wall is about 40"x 40".

This all started months ago with:

2012 end of year Teacher gift

Wow! June in flying by so fast.... I have been looking for a great teacher gift to make. I like to give gifts that the teacher will use. I might go a little overboard but they are teaching the most precious people in my world :D

This year I had a Band-Aid box that I held on to just so I could make a project. Yeah, I have a love for containers :) So I came up with the idea to make it a "Summer- Aid" box. I put in gift cards (Starbucks, Barns & Noble, Shell, Target, AMC - movies)

I used the paper in the inside of the box to make a cover for the gift.

I then added the vinyl letters. 

I then glue dotted the gift cards onto colorful paper and added a butterfly to each one for a tab.

I added more fun to the top with flowers stickers that I had hanging around

Then I had more space to fill so I put in: lip balm, sunscreen, Altoids and hand sanitizer.

made another paper from the template to write a message and added the extras.

Added a bright bow and sent it off to school with my son!

Mini cards- for kid birthdays

I love it when a card comes together in a time of need. :) My kids have the joy of going to many kid parties and I used to make full size cards. Awhile ago I was talking to another crafter and she said that she makes small card for kids parties. My thought was what a good idea...the kids don't care about the cards they normally want the toys. :) So, I have been doing more small cards for the kids gifts.

Well, today I was scrambling to get the gift together and I realized that I had run out of cards and not made time to make more. I jump into my craft room and found the nicely stamped and glittered lion and green square. I cut the paper for the card and done!

I was so glad that I had envelope still made :) I used my Cricut to make them a long time ago when I started making the small cards. 

Here is a regular sized card and the small size for kids parties.

Another Coffee card holder

My daughter is wrapping up her last days at per-school and wanted to give her two teachers gift cards! So I made another coffee card holder for the other teacher. Emma was excited to give the gifts to her teachers. :)
