Happy Mother's Day

Well .. it's here ... 

The day the Design team shares their challenge projects with you all!

This month at Trendy Twine, the new challenge recipe is 
(1) The color Kraft
(2) Trendy Twine

This month we are showcasing the "Teals" over at Trendy Twine.

For my project I have used Twisted Teal.  It's such a pretty color and I really loved how it popped with the Kraft.

I've created a tag for Mother's Day.  This could go on a bouquet of flowers, a package or even a card.

You can grab the teal's on sale now in the Trendy Twine Store .. click HERE for the May specials.

Grab 'em why you can :)

I've used the following items to create this project:

Teacher Appreciation Week

Good morning everyone!

Today I'd like to share with you a fun project that I've made for one of my son's teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week. 

We are blessed to have three fantastic teachers this year and it only brings me joy to create something for them!

Today's post is about my first creation .. a small notepad with a fun matching pen.

I thought the notepad could easily fit in even a small purse, or sit on a desk to jot down some reminders or a to do list.

I used the following products to create this gift: 

~ Trendy Twine ~ Lemon Tart

~ Patterned paper from DCWV ~ Grade School stack

~ Washi Tape

~ Misc. ribbon

Thanks so much for stopping by today. 

I hope that this has inspired you to make something fabulous to say "THANKS" to all your favorite teachers.  They all work so hard .. for OUR children .. it's the least we can do.

PS .. If you LOVE twine as much as I do .. check out the Trendy Twine Store and pick some up!  Lemon Tart is even on sale .. but it ends soon .. so grab it fast!

I stumbled upon a new digi stamp company.  I immediately fell in love with their stamps and had to use one right away.

 Here is the little cutie I have to show off.

And a close up
