Valentine's Day Class Favors





Happy Friday Everyone! 

It's been a long week.  I don't know if it's because of the full moon or spring like weather here, but school has been a bit, shall we say, exhausting.  Patience has been the keyword.
 
Here's a cute and easy little favor I did for each of the boys' classmates last year.  It uses Stampin' Up's Full Heart Punch and a coordinating heart border stamp from the set Sweetheart. 



The boys stamped "Happy Valentine's Day" on the back and signed their names on each one.  Turquoise/pink for the girls and red for the boys.  The ribbon is threaded through a hole punched just at the bottom tip of the heart and tied around the lollipop to secure it.  Real easy and simple.




This weekend I'll get started on the ones they'll share this year.  
My oldest selected this one:

And for my Lego, Star Wars loving younger son, he went with this idea:

We'll be doing this Lego themed one in white and adhering it to red cardstock for a little color.  Then thread a glow stick right where the lightsaber should be.  Both should be easy and fun for them to get done on their own with a little help from Mom.   Just need to be sure I've got plenty of ink in the printer to get it done!


So glad it's Friday and am ready to enjoy the weekend the my little family.  My boys each have basketball games to play in and I hope to get some play time in of my own with some stamping and cross-stitch.


Have a great Friday!

Give Thanks

A sweet fall card for today.  This was fun and easy to put together.  Saw a similar one on Splitcoaststampers as my inspiration.  Used SU's Day of Gratitude set.  Stamped the leaf in a variety of colors, formed a wreath with them over a background done with a Sizzix's Texture Impressions plate (can't remember it's name at the moment) on very vanilla cardstock, a few acorns adorning the wreath.  Used a Martha Stewart decorative edge punch on a small strip at the base and then stamped it with a sentiment from the Hand-Penned Holidays set.  Linen thread finishes  it off.   Next time, I think I will emboss the Give Thanks in gold.  


                  


                                            A few fun Thanksgiving ideas off Pinterest:

October


October is my favorite time of the year.  I love the cool crisp air it brings, seeing the beautiful color as the leaves change on trees, and pumpkins everywhere.  Here are a few lovely images for today:
