Playground Appreciation

I'll admit, I still haven't fully gotten on board with documenting family events with Project Life, but I do LOVE all of the pocket cards!  And they help in making quick and CUTE cards...just like these!

These two cards are for my youngest son's pre-school teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week...and the Playground pocket cards and embellishments were perfect!!

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Island Indigo, Calypso Coral, Garden Green, Strawberry Slush, Crushed Curry, Crumb Cake, Silver Foil, Project Life Playground Pocket Cards

Ink ~ Island Indogo

Stamp Set ~ Lots of Thanks

Other Supplies ~ Spiral Boarder Punch, Banner Punch, Strawberry Slush Bakers Twine, Project Life Playground Embellishments

 

This has been, by far, my favorite set of PL cards and I have used them for a TON of teacher projects.

 

Don't forget to thank all of the teachers in your life this week!

 

Happy Stamping!

LuvBug for Kerri

Hello Stampin' Friends and Happy Thursday!  Today is my day off and I have high hopes of crossing a few projects off of my crafting To-Do list...this list seems to be growing at a rapid rate and I LOVE it!  I plan to take full advantage of nap time and bed time today.

A few weeks ago I made a cute pink polka dot "slug bug" card for a Friday Mashup Challenge and when my friend Kerri saw it, she asked me to make her a card to match her green LuvBug.  I had a lot of fun making the first card and was happy to make a second one.  I checked out a few of my favorite challenge blogs for a little inspiration and loved the color challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments.

 Pear Pizzazz is a perfect match to Kerri's bug and the Crushed Curry and Early Espresso reminded me of all the sunflowers that are in bloom right now.  So, there you have it...my inspiration for this card :-)  Not only is Kerri a good friend, she is also my co-worker who helped cover my duties while I was on vacation, so I owe her a HUGE thank you!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Pear Pizzazz, Early Espresso, Crushed Curry, Brushed Silver, Whisper White, Basic Black

Ink ~ Pear Pizzazz, Crushed Curry

Stamps ~ Lots of Thanks

Other Supplies ~ Build a Banner Stencils, Boho Blossoms Punch, Artisan Label Punch, 1" Square Punch, Large Oval Punch, Extra Large Oval Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch, Modern Label Punch, Word Window Punch, Neutrals Brads

 

The kiddos and I are off to go have some breakfast at our favorite coffee shop this morning and then we'll hand deliver this card to {Auntie} Kerri and visit with her new puppy Wiffle :-)

 

Happy Stamping!
