Ronald McDonald Provides More Than a Happy Meal

The stamp set I used here is called "Say It with Scallops".

Every year, Stampin' Up! designs an exclusive stamp set to help raise money for the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). 

When you purchase this Say It with Scallops set, Stampin' Up! will donate $2.00 to RMHC. 

Ronald McDonald provides more than a happy meal.  Every time I take my little bugger to McDonald's, he empties my coins into the RMHC donation box.

Will you join us in making a difference?

I made this gift card holder by CASE'ing Allison over at Sweet Impressions.  She even provided an easy to follow tutorial, so be sure to check it out!

With the end of the school year approaching - keep this project in mine for grads you know.  You don't necessarily need to own a "graduation" stamp set.  TIP:  Improvise like I did, by using a Congrats stamp instead.  This project is easy to customize - simply vary the colors you use. 

I am sure you'll see a few more variations from me soon.  I have a cousin graduating high school and my little guy (Devlin) will be graduating from Pre-K.

Garden (Tea) Party

Yesterday I said I'd share with you the card I created for my Mom.

Well, here it is and I have to say - the more I look at it, the more I love it.  See the coordinating gift box I made for her by clicking here.

This Tea Party Designer Series Paper is so soft and feminine.  I am so glad I bought this paper pack, it can work for so many different occasions.

When I bought this paper, I chipped in with my Aunt - and we split the pack.  Knowing that when you buy Stampin' Up!'s designer paper, you receive 2 12" x 12" pieces of each print.  We were able to maximize our savings, while benefiting by owning multiple collections.

Do you know someone that would love to own Stampin' Up! Designer Paper?  Well, right now is the time to find that someone ... go ahead ... split & save.

• Buy 3 Designer Series Paper packs OR 12" x 12" cardstock and get 1 FREE!

Au Naturale

Happy (day after) Mother's Day!

I made this fun gift set for my Mom.  I am posting this project a day late because I did not want her to visit my blog and ruin the surprise.  See another view of this project in My Kreations Gallery.

This box was made using Lauren Meader's From the Desk of template.  See my other creation using this template by clicking here. 

My Mom loves going plant and flower shopping in May.  So, I pulled together a small gift set using a "gardening" theme.  Inside this box, you'll find 3 seed packets (flowers), some plant markers, and a bitty book labeled "buds".  The stamp set used here is called Scene in a Garden from the Occasions Mini Catalog.

In this little book, she can place photos of her flowering seeds (buds) OR take photos of her friends (buds).  Cute, huh?

I wanted to keep things "natural" looking, so I did not ink the chipboard letters.  They may look a little bit "naked", but I am a huge fan of Stampin' Up!'s Kraft cardstock. 

Finally, I had to create a coordinating card - so I did so using the same Designer Paper Collection called "Tea Party".

But, I'll hold off until tomorrow to share that with you.

DID YOU KNOW?  Right now, you can buy 3 packs of Designer Series Paper OR Textured Cardstock - and get 1 pack free!  View the promotional flyer here.

Consider sharing paper with a friend - you get 2 sheets of each print or textured cardstock per pack.  Split the cost and split the paper.  What a deal for both of you!!

Teacher Appreciation

May 3 - 9 is Teacher Appreciation week ... It's my son's last year in daycare.  In the Fall, he will run with the big boys in Kindergarten.  How time flies! 

I made this card set for my son's Pre-K teacher.  She goes by Ms. Cindy - thus the reason for the chipboard C on the front.

A while back, I bought my first Timeless Template from Lauren Meader.  These templates are a fabulous deal - at only $5.00 a pop, you get the full template along with several design ideas.  This particular template is called "From the Desk Of", the design ideas are limited only by your imagination.

It's been a little over a month since I've been able to stamp.  Early April we moved, and then mid April my Dad had a motorcycle accident.  So, I've been taking care of him daily since then ... but I finally found a bit of "me" time last night.

Inside this box, you'll find 4 hand stamped cards - you can view them here.  I decided to also provide Cindy with some basic card making supplies. 

I included four card bases - 2 in Kraft and 2 in Not Quite Navy.  4 pieces of Bella Bleu designer series paper, Kraft Taffeta Ribbon, and pre-stamped Oval All images. 

Don't forget some candy to eat while you create!  And one last thing - a hostess brochure becuase I know she's going to fall in love with card making like I did.  LOL!
