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 

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!

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. :)

Coffee card holder

A few weeks ago some friends of mine got together to make cards and hang out together. I made this coffee card holder to share with them. Take a 81/2X 11 card stock and cut it in half so it is 4 1/4 x 11. Then you score it at 3, 5.5 and 8. Fold the paper so it zig zags and the center fold is in the inside of the card. You will place adhesive on three side. On the forth side i used the word window punch to make the slit for the gift card. Decorated the front as shown below. The coffee cup are from PTI- heart-2-heart #1 mini stamp set and die. I first put the paper and ran through my Cuttlebug and polka dots folder. Then I cut out the coffee cup using the die and finally stamped the coffee cup. I like to have a few made just in case I need a quick gift! :)

Baby palooza continues!

To get ready for some more baby fun at work. I made two gift card holders for the team to sign and give to the two girls that are pregnant. I wanted to make them about the same. The one thing I did for my personal enjoyment, is to color one of the circles the color to match my gender I'm guessing the babies are! ;)
