Taylored Expressions Blog Hop

This month's theme is Birthday / Birth day. In honor of Taylor having her first baby anytime now! As I have been in the 'back to school' mode, I thought I'd do a teacher's birthday card.

I used TE's 'Extra Credit' stamp set and CTMH's paper. I think they make a great pair!


I don't know about you, but I am so enjoying my kiddo's going back to school. The last two weeks I've just been trying to figure out my new schedule and getting two to three mornings to myself is like a new world! ;) Hopefully I'll be better about adding new creations to my blog to share! ;)

Thanks for popping by today and here's the list of all the participants in this months TE blog hop!






Have a very blessed day!

Back to School Time

Well it's back to school time around here and I am SO excited! My oldest will be in 2nd grade, my middle guy will go to Kindergarten and my baby is gonna go to Pre-school two mornings a week. This is gonna be a whole new world for me!! ;)

Needless to say, I am all about the school stuff right now! ;) So I thought I'd just share a little card I whipped up for the kiddo's teachers.

This is a really fun stamp set from Papertreyink.com.


Thanks for stopping by today! Be blessed!

Teacher Appreciation Week

Okay, so what do you think? I got the idea of the mini shopping carts from my Stampin' Up! upline, Becky Roberts, when she did a gift for her bff a while back. They are so little and cute! They are from The Lakeside Collection and I bought these 3 from them a while back to have on hand. I am so excited to give them to the boys' teachers!


The cute little apple is from Papertrey Ink and I hand cut it and pop dotted it to the front of the cart. I hope the teachers will like these and keep them on their desks.


I made them each a little post it note holder. Paper is all Stampin' Up! and the apple and sentiment are from PaperTrey Ink and the letters and numbers in the background are from a $1 stamp I picked up at Craft Warehouse.


I filled the carts with goodies from Bath and Body Works. Fun little lotions and anti-bacterial gel and a candle. Then I stopped at World Market and got them a mini box of Altoids mints. Just a few little things to hopefully helped them feel refreshed during the day.




Thanks for stopping by today! And blessings to all the teachers this week! ;)
