Welcome!

Welcome to my craft blog.  I hope this becomes a place to share project ideas, layouts and inspiration.

No post is complete without a little project.  On the eve of the last day of school for my oldest, I found myself without an end of the year thank you for her teacher.  Amazon to the rescue!  It seemed a bit gauche to stuff a printed gift card in a plain old card.  So I whipped up a little book for her.
I used kraft as a base for the card and embellished with patterned paper from October Afternoon's Modern Homemaker line.  First spread included a school photo of my daughter along with a poem about teachers.  The next spread (bottom photo right) I used a Hall Pass wild card, again from OA.  Opposite page is a note of thanks I wrote to her teacher.  Last spread includes the gift certificate inside the envelope and a little letter written by my daughter.
