Back to School Teacher Gifts

It's Back to School time!! It always brings mixed emotions!! This year I decided to create a few Back to School teacher gifts!! Having been a teacher, I know that teachers always need pencils and pens!!

I used one of the Tag Topper dies from The Stamp Doctor. They have a lot of wonderful dies, stamps, and packaging options!!

This project used the following products from The Stamp Doctor

   Tag Topper Die 2"
   2" Tag Topper Treat Bags #1

The pencil and pen are from The Write Stuff set at Pretty Cute Stamps!! The "Take Note" stamp is from a retired set at Papertrey Ink.

Movie Birthday

My daughter received a movie themed birthday party invite. I decided a movie themed card was needed. Right after the invite arrived, the idea came to me. It's rare that the image in my mind matches what I create. In this case it did!!

I used the Center Cut Die from The Stamp Doctor!! I love the matching layer dies that can be found by clicking under the options for the die listing. (Hope that makes sense) The images are from My Favorite Things.

 I am still working to improve my photographing!! :-)

Rain or Shine Side Step Card

Hello!!

I've been busy making cards for various occasions!! Now I just need to remember to send them!!  :-)

I've been working on improving my blending and coloring skills for about a year with classes from Kit and Clowder. Alyce's classes are AWESOME and she is so encouraging and inspiring.  I just don't spend enough time practicing so not much has improved. I am seeing improvement in skin and hair(still room for improvement but isn't there always?). I'll go back and work on other classes with other skills as time permits!! This weekend I realized that I'm ok with that. Being so focused on blending, shading, etc... has  been holding me back from creating cards. With this card and several I will share over the next few days, I just colored for the sake of coloring and loved it!!

I used the Stamp Doctor Side Step Card Die to make the base of this card!! I have wanted to make these types of cards for a long time but have no patience for cutting them out. So when I found the die at The Stamp Doctor, I was so excited!!! 

The images are from Pretty Cute Stamps specifically the Rain or Shine!!

I used Sharpies to color these instead of my usual Copics. They were quick and easy!!!
