12x12 Paper Caddy

  Here is what I did for the ABC pattern papers,  12x12 paper caddies. I thought it would be nice to make them one and give it to them on their last day of school.  I used purple and orange because that was the colors of the building my DS went for Pre K.  Sorry if the photos are fuzzy.  I used my ipod to take them. And sorry for my bright lamp as well.




   I used my Cricut to cut out the bus, backpack, and an apple from RECESS lite cartridge since I didn't have the doodle charm cart.  I'll share a youtube video from babytweetums  for a tutorial on how to make this.  It's was very simple and easy to make. Just make sure you do the cut outs before you do the caddy. It'll save a lot of time doing them which I didn't do.




 I got these tags from www.positivelysplendid.com , (She has a very cute free printable tags for teachers and other occasions as well), and put glitter inside the edges.  I thought it looks cute with the caddy and it has my DS handwriting to remember him by :o)   I filled them with some goodies, thank you cards I made for them and large clothes pins each with their favorite colors with stars pattern papers I had left over to alter them. They loved it!!

   

Post It Note Holder w/ Matching Pen & Altered Mini Fat Notebook

  I wanted to get something for Teacher's Appreciation Week for my son's Pre K teachers.  So I decided to try making a post it note holder w/ a matching pen that I saw on you tube.

  

 I bought 8x11.5 stars pattern papers,  3.5x5 in acrylic frames,  post it note pads, pens, and fat mini notebooks to go along with it. I will show you what I did with the ABC pattern papers that I had in my stash on my next post.

 

 

This is how it turned out. It was easier than I thought. I put ribbons on top of the frames, a yard for each one, and matching cardstock papers on the back to look even nicer. I also altered the notebooks to match along with the others. They loved it!

Updates for 2013

  It's been a year in a half  since I've started my own blog.  But I have slacked a lot due to family crisis, taking care of  both my little ones and postpartum depression.  And not to mention being  surrounded with negative people my whole life didn't help my situation which was even more stressful. Let just say I was in the breaking point of shutting myself down emotionally. But with prayer and help from others I was able to do what I love to do most being with my boys and my hubby and of course scrapbooking :o)   I will be sharing little bit of everything my life, my likes and dislikes, my crafting creations, my passion for Disney etc... And who knows I might consider doing youtube videos down the road.  But for right now I'm sticking to my blog.
