Thank you for helping me grow!

Swung by Bath and Body Works on the way home from work today and got a few little goodies (lotion and hand sanitizer) for the two student teachers who'll be visiting my classroom for the last time this semester...and there's no way I could give a gift without a personalized something, so I made a tag...

Here's a close-up...

Your Friendship is Refreshing

Friday - my favorite day of the week.

The only thing that makes it better is being able to share my creations with all of you and today is my DT day over al Dilo en Español / Say it in English.

Today I want to show you a little treat bag I made using the set Amor Retro (and the best part about it is that while you're reading this post, this bag will be awaiting a friend on her desk at work). I always love making small gifts....I think I use it as an excuse to be in my craft room - but who needs an excuse, right? :)

I really love this set (I even tried to use "retro" colors),

and I'm totally addicted to soda…healthy, I know!

The base is the Ticket Book Die from Jaded Blossom

What do you think?

Thank you for stopping by for a visit!

Easter Treats

Happy Sunday and Happy Easter!!

I am very sorry to say that today will be my last post as a Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Design Team member. It's been amazing being able to share my creations with all of you using Lisa's awesome designs, and today is no different!

I had so many different projects I wanted to make, but with today being Easter, I couldn't imagine doing anything else :). Between my son's daycare class and my first graders, I made 37 Easter treats for Friday's celebrations at both schools. Here's how they turned out...

Times 27 of them...

PPPR Baby Shower Blog Hop

Welcome to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Baby Shower Blog Hop!

Today, the design team is bringing you Baby Shower goodies and Lisa has made some awesome new files that are perfect for the occasion.

If you hoped over from Nicole's blog, you're in the right place!

If you're just swinging by for a visit and would like to hop along,

please swing on over to Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons to start at the beginning.

When we think of showers, we tend to think of everything we could get for the baby....and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to make a little treat for the mommy to be. I'm thinking a gift card for a pre-natal massage or pedicure and some treats (because who doesn't love some chocolate)...

Here are some other views of this mini gift bag/box....

For my second project,

I made some cute Shower favors for the guests...

Here's the top...

For both of my projects were made using the

Mommy To Be Cutting Files.

Now, how about some blog candy?

Celebrating Life Release w/ Disney Project Life

Happy Friday!

I am so excited to be able to share this awesome new release with you from Say it in Spanish - it's the Say it in English Celebrating Life Stamp Release! If you're a project lifer, scrapbooker, smasher or just love to craft, these stamps are absolutely perfect!! I fell in love the second I saw the (which started my journey in Project Life a few weeks ago), and I was thrilled that Abby allowed me to bring this new release to you.

You can get it as a packaged deal or individually HERE.

Ok, lets get on with this mini hop!
If you came from Dilo En Español, you're in the right place.
If not, be sure to swing by to get started!

As most of you know, I've been pre-making my project life pages for our upcoming Disney trip...only 19 more days until we leave... and if you know me at all, you know I'm usually behind, not ahead; but I've been waiting for my son to be the perfect age to take him to my favorite place on earth, and the time is finally here!!!!!I have a million ideas for pages, and am sure I'll have even more once I come home with thousands of pictures!!

One ride I know my son will have to experience as a first time Disney visitor is the amazing tea cups that brings laughter to just about anyone's face. That ride is what inspired my first page....

Here are the close-ups for you...

My second page was inspired by two of his favorite movies, Monsters, Inc. and Monsters University. If you've been to the Magic Kingdom, you've probably been to Laugh Floor. It's a MUST SEE!! And if I loved it, I know my little man will too...

Here's a closer look...

*Mike and Sulley are from a past hop with
SVG Cutting Files*

So? Are you as excited about these new stamps as I am??

Thanks for stopping by and checking out some more of my Disney PL pages!

Cuando vi estos colores, sabía que tenía el papel perfecto. También me había enamorado de los muñequitos Mexicanos, y quería practicar un poco más con mis colores y así se quedó mi tarjeta…
