First Day of School!

Today my girls went back to school and with them I decided to send along gifts and treats! Gifts for the teachers, aids and office staff and treats for my girls. :) I used DCWV grade school paper stack, My Creative Time's Stamps and Dies, my Cricut and Peachy Keen Face stamps.

My girls will find these fun cards in their snack bags at recess along with a couple treats.

These are corner bookmarks I made for the girls homeroom teachers and their aids. I bundled them together in a pencil box with a tall bookmark, pens, pencils a highlighter and peppermints.

  

                       

   

 For the office staff, PE & Computer teachers and the Librarian, I made these happy apple cards. Inside they'll find a Ghirardelli dark chocolate square with caramel.

I also gave the office staff post it note holders.

Lots of goodies that hopefully brought a smile to some amazing teachers, staff and the best little girls I know!!! I can't wait to pick up them up and see how their first day went! Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great day too.

Cre8tiveGirls Blogoversary!!!

Happy First Anniversary Yvette!

DAY 1

Hello Friends and welcome to my Twins First Blogoversary!!! If you've come here from Giselle's blog you are in the right place, if not you can start this hop at my sister's blog HERE. 

I'm so excited to be celebrating this milestone with her and how fun that we are having a weekend long BLOG HOP!!!! A very talented group of crafters has joined us this weekend and created projects around the theme of FIRSTS. I hope you enjoy this long weekend celebration and the projects we have all created for Yvette!

For todays project I decided to try my hand at using Mod Podge for the very first time. I pick up a very cute acrylic candy holder at Michaels and thought it would look amazing covered in sparkly candies. 

Here is how I designed my project using my gypsy, the Celebrations and From my Kitchen Cartridges and my Expression...

then I cute everything out on my Cricut Expression using DCWV Glitter papers.

I then Mod Podged the acrylic candy box, added some ribbon and TA DA!!!

Here is my project in all it's glory... 

Not bad for my very first time!

The Mod Podge isn't perfectly clear and hides some of the glitter but I think overall it's a fun project that ANYONE could do.

And how CUTE is that tiny candy scoop! LOVE IT!

I hope you enjoyed my project today ~ now please hop on over to my very creative friend DORIS who is the next stop in the hop today!
