A Little Something

I am leaving one of these on each of my coworkers' desks tomorrow. There are 7 of us that work together, so I made six of them. They are very simple, since I was busy making a few things to send to my boys and their girlfriends for Valentine's Day. I'll post them some time this weekend.

These are recycled Starbucks Frapucinno bottles. I used PaperTrey Sweet Love for the cap and SU Bali Breeze DSP for the band around the jar. The ribbon is PaperTrey Sweet Blush swiss dot.

I am hoping my coworkers enjoy these.
Sorry for the quick post, but being full time doesn't leave much time for blogging. But I am so loving my new job! Thanks for visiting! Happy Valentine's Day!

Another Enrichment Club Project

I hurried home from work to catch the last of the daylight to photograph our other project that the girls made on Thursday. I had them all bring a picture of themselves. I used a picture of my son Mark from a few years ago on my sample. Well, more than a few, considering he is 17 now. ;)

We used the SU hostess set, Time Well Spent. The page measures 6" by 6".The flowers were colored with Prisma pencils and the large one was cut out. The smaller one was punched out with the 1 1/4" circle punch and matted with a Rose Red circle punched with the 1 3/8" punch.

We made the holders from jumbo 2" binder clips. I got mine at Staples. We covered these with card stock cut to 3 1/4" by 2". I scored these at 1 1/8" and 2 3/8". If you use designer paper to cover the clip, you probably won't need to score, but the card stock is rather thick and it looks better if you score it. I used Not quite Navy to cover the clip, and as the larger background on the page. I stamped it in black with two of the stamps from Time Well Spent.

Be sure to use a bit of ribbon if you make one of these clips. Tie the ribbon up high, tightly, and double knot it. Then push it down towards the clip. This helps keep the clip prongs tight enough to hold the scrap page.
I hope you like this project. I think the girls' projects turned out well and I am sure that their parents will enjoy displaying them on their desks at work. Thanks for visiting!

Valentine Care Packages

I try to send little packages to my kids who are away from home. For Valentine's Day I made up packages of all of the projects we have been making in enrichment club. They don't know I didn't make them especially for them! ;) These area few of the tins we made at our first class. They are straight from Nichole's blog. The only thing I changed was the sentiments. You can't see very well, but the peanut butter cups say HUGS and KISSES. Nichole sells these cute tins, or you can get them at SpecialtyBottle.com. The stamp set is from Papertrey and is called Sweet Love. It has nugget labels, ovals that fit in the SU punches, and lots of little words to customize your look. I used Crystal Stickles, but it picked up the Pomegranate ink and turned red. Sort of a custom Stickles color!
I sent these tins, a sour cream container, a covered Hershey bar, a little Nugget Tag Tent, and a Tic Tac holder. I thought they made a cute box full of treats. Tomorrow I will be busy making sour cream containers for the secretaries' desks at my hubby's work. Thanks for visiting!
