Hey All!!!

SURPRISE!!! I still had one more post as part of the Jaded Blossom Guest Designers!!! And this one is SUPER fun!!!

Its Christmas in July over at Jaded Blossom and we are all getting together to show off some Christmas fun gift, favor, and decoration ideas!!! I was so very excited for this post because I think you ALL know how much I LOVE the Christmas Season! Friends and Family and traditions and Christmas music, ohhhh how I LOVE the holidays!!!!

For my project today, I decided I wanted to make a super cute treat holder with my FAVORITE stamp set that I own from Jaded Blossom...Santa Mail! This set is just PERFECT if you have little ones or you want to make some treats for a  little person you may know that comes from Santa!!! 

I wanted to get a head start on some treat containers for Bran's classroom this year so I am not stuck last minute  (as I USUALLY am, lol) crafting up some treats for the kids! I saw this container last Christmas in the Silhouette Store but did not have time to play with it! I knew I HAD to use this one for my project!!!

Here it is:

 

SUPPLIES:

Jaded Blossom Items: Santa Mail Stamps, Candy Charms and Banners Dies

SVG: 3D Candy Cane Box-Snapdragon Snippits in Silhouette Studio Store

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Misc.. Scotch Quick Dry Glue, Red Twine (from stash), Red Grossgrain Ribbon-Hobby Lobby, M&M's

 

I hope you enjoyed my project today! Be sure to check out the other great ideas for Christmas in July!

 

Hope to catch you all Craftin' and Stampin'! 

 



Last Guest DT post for Jaded Blossom-Thank you Nurse!

 Hey All!!

OH MY GOSH! My month of Guest DT posts for Jaded Blossom is officially over after this post today :( I had SUCH a wonderful time with the girls here! They are SO talented, kind, caring, and FUN! I will certainly miss being a part of their team! I hope I made them proud this month, and I hope to be able to jump into a Guest DT post again soon! Hopefully REAL soon!!!

For today's post, I wanted to show you the project we made for the School Nurse of Brandon's school.  Brandon has Laryngomalacia and would end up needed a neb treatment at school, so he would spend a bit of time with Nurse Ann. This is something that happened from him being intubated at birth and he will have this until he is a teenager the doctor said. What it means is that his larynx will just collapse and he will have trouble breathing. He just needs a quick treatment and to catch his breath. It usually makes a "whooping cough sound" of cough which scares the people around him. A few of his teachers had told me that they thought he was choking! Nurse Ann would instruct the teachers about what happens to him during this time and she would make him feel right at home while he was having a treatment. This is a Thank You for her for taking EXCELLENT care of my kiddo when I could not be with him at school!

 Here is what I made for her:

 

Once again, these stamps make it SO personal!!

 

 

SUPPLIES:

Jaded Blossom Items: School Day Candies, Teacher Appreciation Candies. Fancy Topper Die, 3x4 Clear Bags

Cutting Machine: Silhouette Cameo

SVG's-Bandaid-Silhouette Online Store.

Paper: School Day DCWV mat stack; Recollections

 Thank you SO MUCH for checking my blog out every day while I was guest designing!


Thank you Candace and Michelle for allowing me this privilege to work with you and your DT! I had a great time and cannot WAIT to do it again!!

Hope to catch you all Craftin' and Stampin'!

Jaded Blossom Design Day! Thank You to Our Lunch Lady!

Hey All!!


Today is my 2nd to last guest design team post for Jaded Blossom and I wanted to show you another project I made to say THANK YOU to someone at my kiddos school!

For today, we said THANK YOU to my kiddos lunch lady! Brandon is Autistic and has issues with texture and with eating. There is one thing, and one thing only that he loved to buy at school: Trix Yogurt. He LOVED when I would give him money in the morning to get it! Last year, he would get VERY upset because by the time he went down for lunch, there was not any left. It would ruin his whole day. Well, one day, at the end of last year, Mrs. Judi, asked him why he was so upset in the lunch room. Brandon told her because all he wanted with his lunch was his yogurt. She came up to me after school and asked me if that was "normal". I explained to her all about his texture issues and how he just wanted to "buy" lunch like the other kids (even though I did send him with soup every day). She said that every day, she would save him one, no matter what! I thought that was so kind of her to do! And since Brandon is leaving this school, I just wanted to make her something to show my appreciation for looking out for my little guy!!!

Here is what I made:

Look how cute the lunch tray is!

 

SO cute how these stamps REALLY add that personal touch!

 

SUPPLIES:

Jaded Blossom Items: School Day Candies, Teacher Appreciation Candies. Fancy Topper Die, 3x4 Clear Bags

Cutting Machine: Silhouette Cameo

Paper: Recollections

 

 

I hope this idea helps you to remember those that help you and your kiddos out during the school year! Be sure to come back tomorrow for my last guest DT post with Jaded Blossom!

Jaded Blossom DT Design Day-Last Day School Gift Part 1

Hey All!!

This is my last weekend as the guest DT over at Jaded Blossom! I AM SO BUMMED :( I had SUCH a great time posting my projects and creating new projects with all the girls on the DT over there! I feel as though I got to meet new friends, and I will learn a lot from them! I do still have tomorrow and Sunday to do posts! So be sure to check back those two days!!!

For today's project, I was thinking of the people in Brandon's school who have helped him over the last 4 years. See, Brandon is leaving his "little" school now because it only went up until 2nd grade! He now moves on to the school right across the street from my house that goes from 3rd until 6th grade! So, I wanted to be SURE that I got all of the people in his school that have helped him a little something special that I made!

Today's project was for Mr. Jim. He is the schools custodian. He was ALWAYS so helpful to Brandon! Whenever it rained, he would stand at the front of the school to be sure the kiddos made it up the steps safely. He would make sure that the gates were locked for them to play safe in the school yard at recess, and when Brandon lost his little figure at school the one day, he stayed late to help us find it! He is a really great man, so I made him this to say thank you!!!

(It says: Our school SPARKLES because of you)

Cute little stamps on the bottom of the kisses-see the Custodian one??

I loved this broom!!

 

SUPPLIES:

STAMPS: Jaded Blossom School Day Candies and Teacher Appreciation Candies 

Machine: Silhouette Cameo

SVG: Silhouette Studio- Broom

Misc: Jaded Blossom Fancy Topper Die, Jaded Blossom 3x4 Favor Bags, Hershey Kisses, ATG

Paper: School Days Pack DCWV & Recollections

 

I hope the projects I made for this weekend will give you some ideas for next year for the end of school to give to those that help your child that you may not remember right away when thinking of little thank you's to give!! So be sure to check me back out on Saturday and Sunday before I am done my guest DT spot with Jaded Blossom!

Hope to catch you Craftin' and Stampin'!
