Jaded Blossom September Challenge....Crafter's Choice

Hey, Y'all....I know what you are thinking....the only reason Stefani has a blog is to enter Jaded Blossom's monthly challenge.....well, I am happy to be entering it and you should too, but I will try to post more often!  Anyway....here is my entry for this month's challenge.  Go enter your entry today at Jaded Blossom's Monthly Challenge.

I made a kiss treat bag using the Jaded Blossom Cancer Kisses, Birthday Kisses, Pattern Kisses, Wedding Kisses and Friendly Kisses stamp sets.  This is the proto type of some treat bags I'm making for a Breast Cancer Charity Crop later this month.  I hope you like it.

Jaded Blossom August Challenge - School Project

Hi, y'all....I haven't posted in over a month as I have been working on organizing and refining every inch of my craftroom (details and pics coming soon), but today I am having one of those incredible days where NOTHING you have planned is going right.....So, I thought I would take a time out and knock out a little project for the Jaded Blossom Challenge.  I have been itching to use the new Kisses sets that were released in June.  On my project I used the Sports Kisses and Pattern Kisses sets and the 3 x 4 clear bags.  What a great and easy way to make some favors.....I cheated a little and used some 3/4 inch circle Avery labels to stamp on.  The school I was making this for is navy, white and silver, so the white labels and silver kisses offered the perfect color combonation.  I used my 3/4 circle punch for the stamp on the football.  The football and eagle are double sided and popped between each side.

There is still time to enter the Jaded Blossom Challenge, so zoom over there now.

The Graduate!

Hey Y'all.....Today I get to celebrate the graduation of my Soul Sister, Becca!  Although, Becca is young enough to be my own daughter she and I connected when she was a youngster and she has always called me her Soul Sister!  Well, she has graduated from High School and is heading to BYU!!!!

Check out these gifts I made for her!

First up, from the $ bin at Michaels a pencil set.....it had two white with a gold "B" monogram and two solid gold ones.  On the gold one I put a BYU sticker making it a custom BYU pencil.  Next, also from the $ bin, I found a little notebook that she can carry in her purse.  It had the perfect BYU colors (Tan and Navy), but it had a sea shell on it, well, I quickly covered that with a BYU sticker and viola....she has a custom notebook!  These were fast and simple, but I think she will enjoy them.

 

Next, I made Becca a more elaborate gift.....a SMASH book!!!  Here's a bunch of pictures of it!

 I covered it with clear acrylic sheets to protect it and included some

Washi tape and the dual tip (glue and ink) pen so she can easily add all her keepsakes.

 On the first page I included some special sentiments from me and my

hubby on the library card and showed her an example of how to add

 keepsakes by putting a picture of her and her mom at the BYU campus.

 I added this little "self portrait" of me in one of the

pockets, so she doesn't forget her soul sister

In the back oversized library pocket I included a bunch of BYU

stickers, some post it type labels and some starter cards for her to journal on.

I hope she enjoys it....I will try to add a pic of her opening it. 



Update....well, I didn't get a picture of her with the SMASH book, but she seemed to like it.  I did get a shot of her with my mom opening the quilt my mom made for her!
