A challenge from a friend

I have a friend who loved the little purple mini magazine holder I made a week or so ago. She asked me today if I could figure out how to make one that could hold the regular sized cards we make (5.5 x 4.25 inches). She said she had found instructions online, but it called for 2 sheets of paper. She wanted to know if I could figure out how to do it with just 1 sheet. So, I took that challenge. ;) Simple geometry, really. Here's what I came up with....

Sam's teacher gifts

I made these cute little boxes for Sam's 2 teachers and the director of the preschool. They're filled with Hershey kisses. So cute. :)

A Box of Kisses

I am so happy with how tonight's project turned out! I made a cute little silver box with some amazingly sturdy cardstock I just got at Michael's. I added some color and attached a handle with some brads. Voila! Adorable little box that I plan to fill with Hershey Kisses and give as a V-Day gift! Perfect.

The box is 5 inches tall, 4 inches wide, and 2 inches deep.

Valentine's Day teacher gift

I made the first of the Valentine's Day gifts for Alex's teachers (5 total, including resource teachers). I covered a cute clip with pretty paper, tied ribbon around it, and stuck a little stamped scallop circle in there so the teacher would know it's meant to hold something...a picture, a note, etc. I put the clip and a peppermint patty in a little plastic bag, and stapled it inside the pouch I made. I think it turned out pretty darn cute. :) Alex is also going to make a card to go along with it.

Is it spring yet?

I was inspired by the nice weather today. So, it's just a little spring-ish card. Simple, but I really like the colors. I wish I had more time this evening to do something a little more detailed, but it was a busy night. Sorry. I'll be back to interesting tomorrow....I hope. ;)

Simple

Not a lot of time tonight, but I made a commitment to myself. So I wanted to at least make a quick and easy little card. This is just a little 3x3 valentine.

Snowman

Well, today's card didn't end up quite how I wanted it to. I couldn't find the stamps I wanted to use...or the buttons I wanted to use. So I made do with what I could find. :) It's cute though.
