Gift Card Galore

I was working on gift card holders for my little man's preschool teachers when a friend asked me to make her some....who am I to say no?! I didn't want to make 5 of the same one, especially because I wanted to use a lot of my Black Friday goodies. Here they are....

Secret Santa, Day 4 - The BIG Reveal

Tomorrow is the last day for Secret Santa (....kinda' bummed), and I wanted a little surprise that would include all of the favorites from the week AND the final day gift card. I made a cute little caddy with lots of goodies for tomorrow...and the best part, I get to hand deliver!! It's the BIG reveal of who your Secret Santa was. So excited!!!

Secret Santa, Day 3 - Favorite Drink

Tomorrow's treat was super easy, because I just had to make a quick tag for a bottle of soda. I could've gone all out and made a box of sorts, but Thursday is the big reveal and I want to spend a bit more time on that one :)

Toy Story Birthday Celebration

We celebrated my little boy's birthday this past weekend with a Toy Story extravaganza!! This was the first year he truly picked a theme HE wanted and stuck to it (and talked about it for months and month), so I was super excited plan all the little details....and I wanted to share them with you (sorry about some of the picture's quality, but when push came to shove, we were running out of time and the pictures were not a priority)....

 

Invites

(design "borrowed" from Jingvitations)

 

A view of his table...

 

His cake...

 

Brigadeiros (Brazilian Truffles)...

 Some table décor...

 

The wall décor...

And some yummy cookies...

Even at 4 years old, he so appreciated all the little details as he pointed everything out when he first walked in. We had a great time and the exhaustion was so worth it!! :)

Secret Santa, Day 2 - Favorite Snack

Popcorn...but I couldn't just top at plain 'ol popcorn! I made some white chocolate popcorn with dark chocolate M&M's and pretzels. YUMMY!!! Now I MUST get it out of the house ASAP because a single recipe filled 5 of these boxes/bags.

Secret Santa, Day 1

It's that time of the year again! I LOVE the holidays because it gives me even more opportunities to craft with a purpose...meaning someone's actually getting what I'm making :). Not that we ever need an excuse to craft, but I do love it when I'm making it for someone, so I signed up to do Secret Santa at school again this year.

Volleyball Light Box

Yesterday was my niece's 13th birthday (I can't believe she's a TEEN!!!!) and I wanted to make something personalized for her - especially because she just tried out for club volleyball and made the team. I've been seeing a lot of Christmas light box projects on Facebook the past few weeks, but wanted to make something that would look great in her room. This was super fun to make, especially because it was my first time cutting vinyl with my Cameo, my first time etching and my first light box project!

My Creative Time 2014 DT Call

I was so excited to hear that Emma at My Creative Time was having a DT Call! I've been an admirer for quite some time, and couldn't wait to enter for a chance to design for her using her amazing products. We had to design a layout, a card and a 3-D project, and I tried to use the few MCT products I had that just arrived from my Black Friday order....Wish me luck!!!

Double Birthday Celebration

My family and I are leaving for a road trip on Friday for a double-birthday celebration for two little ones who are very dear to me (my BFF's kiddoes). Her sweet little girl is turning 5 and her baby boy is turning 2. Since both of their birthdays are around the holiday season, she just decided to take advantage of everyone being in town for Thanksgiving! Smart girl!

I made some personalized tags to go with the themes for the birthday: Princess and Superheroes....

 

Here's a close-up....
