Milk Carton Die

I bought the new milk carton die and to be honest, when I opened up the die I couldn't believe how small the milk carton was. I thought it was much bigger. Well, I was kind-of bummed until I started looking at what people have done with it. I happened onto a blog where someone made this cute box that held 2 of the cartons. Instructions are included on her blog. http://dostamping.typepad.com/dostamping_with_dawn/2010/02/sharing-dawns-stampin-up-mini-milk-carton-gift-box-instructions.html It is such an adorable little gift that I'm now thrilled with it! I put Junior Mints in one carton and Raisinets in the other. I hope Christina likes it!

Science Teacher Gift

Isn't this the cutest!?! Jan (from stamp club) made this for her son's summer camp science teachers. The theme for the week was Robots and Ridiculous Reactions so she went with this cute robot paper and test tubes. I just loved how it turned out and thought you all might like to see it as well. Thanks for sharing Jan!

Star Scout

Tonight was Bryson's Court of Honor and he received the rank advancement of Star Scout. He earned 14 merit badges, some of which I didn't even know he had done. (Some were done at Scout Camp) Two of the merit badges he earned were cycling and woodworking. I will definitely have to add pictures of those because I was so impressed by them. Maybe tomorrow!

Mark is the Scout Master and has done a great job. Here we all are together.

Bryson receiving his award. Did you notice his Den Leader shirt? It's actually mine. I left his shirt at home so I let him wear my shirt. He was quite embarrassed about that.

Me receiving my pin. It probably should have been pinned on Mark instead! I'm pleased with all the hard work Bryson has done!

May Club

Ha! Ha! May club posted in August! Oh well! We did a Father's Day card and a Graduation card. Very little stamping on both cards. We just used the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set on the inside of each card. The tie was an origami fold I learned about on this websitehttp://barefootstamper.typepad.com/barefoot_stamper/2007/06/origami_necktie.html

Supplies

Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper: Very Vanilla,

Ink: Black

Accessories: brads

The graduation card was made with a couple of Big Shot dies and some punches. I think it's a cute spin on a graduation cap.

Happy New Baby!

My husband's secretary is having a baby in about a month so some people at work had a shower for her. I went hunting for an outfit and Geni pointed out this CUTE cherry dress. (We just happened to be in Gymboree at the same time!) So my quest was to do a gift with a cherry theme.

I got the bowl at Target along with the Cherries and Almonds Dark Chocolate bar. (One for me as well, yummy!)

The cute little onesie and polk-a-dot skirt are from Crazy 8.

Then I had to top it off with some cherry thank you cards. I wish I got a better picture of them but, you get the gist!

Some diapers, wipes and a cute catapiller filled up the empty spaces and I was done. I think she was happy with everything. Yea!

Graduation

I made this card for a young woman who just graduated. We're so happy for her!

Supplies

Stamps: Fox and Friends, Tall Tales alphabet, Sock Monkey Accessories

Paper: Black, Summer Sun

Ink: Black, Summer Sun

Accessories: Top Note die, Ribbon, Word Window punch

A+ Teacher

Wow! It seems like it's been forever since I've blogged. I hope to start adding pictures of the house soon, but until then, I have a few pictures that I'd like to share. I made this for Carston's 2nd grade teacher that we just love! The drawers included paper clips, pencil grippers, staples, and chocolate nuggets. The desk was made with 6 matchbox dies and card stock for the top.
