I Love You to the Moon and Back

This school year I've made and tucked these little note cards into Nathan's lunchbox to let him know how much he's loved and that I'm thinking of him.  I'm so sad that this is the last lunchbox note of the year - I cannot believe just how fast Kindergarten flew by.  I. Can. Not.   :(

I started with a True Black cardstock base for this "Out of this World" themed card.  Next I printed out a computer generated sentiment and then cut it out using PTI Spiral Notebook die.  The lined notebook paper was created with PTI's - It's Official stamp set using Baja Breeze ink from Stampin' Up.    The adorable little rocket and moon are both from the Your Next Stamp's - What Not Celebrate Die Set.  I added a rhinestone flourish which I then rainbow colored using my Copics and created  "stars" using Silver Stickles.

Using the Just My Type and Just My Type Too stamp sets, I created a set of 3x3 note cards.

I just adore how these little note cards came out.  I started with a base of Vintage Cream cardstock from PTI and layered with Ripe Avocado and Kraft using my Perfect Layers tool before rounding the corners.  The harlequin patterned paper is from the Teresa Collins He Said She Said collection (She Said).  The images and sentiments were all stamped using MFT Black Licorice and JellyBean Green Ink.  The little push pin and scissors were cut and popped up with foam tape for dimension.

You really measure up!

The Ribbon Carousel Crewmates are teaming up with the talented designers from Whimsie Doodles to bring you a blog hop jam packed with crafty eye candy!  

I cannot tell you how excited I was for this blog hop with Whimsie Doodles.  A few months ago Melyssa offered this adorable digital freebie, Measure Up.  I knew the minute I saw it, that it would make a perfect image for one of Nathan's lunch box note cards!!   Who knew that a little earthworm would be this much fun to color?!?!   The sentiment was computer generated using the I Still Believe font.  And this seemed like the perfect opportunity to use the measuring tape cotton twill ribbon from the Ribbon Carousel.  :)  The entire image was fussy cut and popped up with foam tape for dimension. The inside paper panel was created using the Perfect Layers tool.

Worm: E47, E44, E43, E42, E41, E40

I think UR brilliant!

This week our There She Goes challenge is brought to us by our Trendsetter of the week, Kim!

 She is challenging us to make a card or project without using any patterned paper!!  Gulp!!!  LOL

I used this challenge to create another lunch box note card for my Kindergartener, Nathan.  I started with a simple card base of Bazzill's Peanut Cluster cardstock and layered with Peppermint cardstock.  I used one of my all time favorite TSG stamp sets, Cutie Pi.  The measuring tape twill ribbon is from the Ribbon Carousel and the notebook paper die and stamp are from PTI.  I cut the main image out and popped it up with Helmar Zap Dots for dimension.

By the way, Nathan said he was the only kid who's Mom puts notes in their lunch box and the other kids always ask to see it and play with it.  :)  :)   I also just realized that he's been keeping all of the lunch box cards that I've made for him inside the front zipper pocket of this backpack!!  How sweet is that?!?!  :)  All this time I thought he was throwing them away.  :)

Do Great Things

WOW!!  I can hardly believe that it's been two weeks since my last blog post.

My husband surprised the kids and I with a little impromptu vacation the week before school started.  We all had such a great time and it was just what I needed...a blogging/crafting break for some much needed family time. 

My "baby", Nathan started Kindergarten last week and he's been so excited about taking his lunch each day.  I've made a goal for myself to tuck a little lunch box note card in his lunchbox every Monday.  My plan is to have each 3" x 3 1/2" card to maintain a simple and yet similar design.  I can't go getting too elaborate knowing the little notes will most likely end up in the trashcan.  ;)  

 This week, I used our There She Goes challenge sketch along with the newly released TSG stamp set, Enjoy Life - By the Sea.  I think the sentiment is so uplifting and makes the perfect note of encouragement!  I started with a base of Bazzill's Rock Candy cardstock and then accented with Jawbreaker and Robin's Egg cardstock.  The notebook page was created using stamps and a die from Papertrey Ink.  Some Gray Mist vintage seam binding was tied into a knot and the sentiment panel was popped up with foam tape.
