Valentine's Day In Review - Part 2

As you can see, I've been in 'craft mode' recently.  The other Valentine's goodies I made can be found here.  So, once I finished all of the goodies for the kiddos, I started on goodies for the adults.   

Aren't these cute boxes?  And I couldn't believe how easy and quick they were.  I made 5 from one sheet of cardstock!  These were perfect little gifts to fill with chocolate and give to some of the staff at my daughter's school.  Very fun!  I was inspired by Julie - again! 

Below is the tag I made for my daughter's teacher.  She likes gummy bears, so we bought a bag and decided to play on the words - You're Beary Amazing.

Fall Birthday

 

Here is a simple card that I made for a shoebox swap with my group of demonstrators using a technique that I recently came across on someone's blog.  Connie Stewart came up with the concept of making Cards in Flash.  This concept has completely changed the way I will design cards for classes.  So simple!!!  She has several examples and each day I check her blog for a new video.  After seeing this concept, every card I see I evaluate it to see if I can make it 'in a flash'.  So, this card used the Flash Card concept on the card found here.  I have to admit that I cheated just a bit - since I was using DSP, I changed the size of it to 4" X 3".  After all, the whole idea is to cut down on wasted paper!  :)

I hope you enjoy!
