With the economy being what it is....and money being a little tight....I am trying to create some homemade gifts this year. I usually have to buy for a ton of people that care for my daughter. I have 2 bus drivers, a teacher, 5 aides, occupational therapist, physical therapist, speech teacher, adaptive PE teacher, private PT, private OT, and technology coordinator. SHEESH! That is A LOT of people! I want to let them know how important their job is in the care of Cortney, but I can't see spending tons of money.....so the alternative? Write a nice note, and a little homemade gift, made by yours truly! This is a little notepad I picked up at the dollar store. I used a Crafty Secret's stamp set called Coffee & Tea. For the sentiment I added the word remember from the preinked words by JustRite.
Since the pen was green and the side binding was red and green and awfully hard to alter, I decided to make it easy on myself and just coordinate my paper to it! The paper is Graphic 45. I got this awesomely vintage paper from my friend
Simone for my birthday. The image was colored in with my Copics. I added glittery "lip gloss" with my Spica pen. And of course, a lady wouldn't be complete without some pearl earrings!
Have a great day!
This will be a quickie post tonight. I am feeling a bit blue, and don't really know why exactly. Teary and crabby. So....I will make this quick so as not to bring you down! This card was created with the awesome set, Winter at Home, created for Sweet 'n Sassy by the awesomely talented Chris Dickinson. I used my Copics and added liquid applique for the snow. I also tried to make the porch floor look like wooden planks. I think they sort of do! I added a few felt snowflakes and some lace to finish it off.
