Hello Life Mini File Folder Treat Holder

This past weekend was my second Annual Blue Mountain Stampers’ Winter Weekend and I’ve got to say it was a blast and the creative energy was flowing shortly after we unpacked! I’ll try to share more about this fun team event with you later when I’ve caught back up on my sleep! LOL

Meanwhile, I wanted to share with you this quick and easy Valentine themed treat that I made first.

Hello Life File Folder Gum Holder (1)

So quick and easy and it holds a pack of gum –

I used the Hello Life stamp set (137136) that you can find on page 6 of the Occasions Catalog and the Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack (137779) from page 5.

While the Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper has a Valentine feel to it on one side, the great part is the other side is neutral enough for any occasion! This pattern that I’ve used for this project is a perfect example.

I love the little sentiments found in this set and since it is Photopolymer it is sooo easy to line up and layer the images.

Can you see the cute little heart on the top of my file folder flap? It’s stamped in Crisp Cantaloupe and adds a little interest to the flap (since it is tone on tone.)

With the rain today my camera is just not real happy. And of course photos just don’t do projects the justice they deserve – great news projects are always on display in my classroom during events so you can see just how great they are for  yourself!

Holiday Cheer

I love to spread a little holiday cheer and when I ran across the new flavor of Sour Patch gum at the store I knew just how I wanted package them!

The colors on the package sent me straight to my Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper. And since I wanted a cute little image I pulled my Project Life Holiday Cheer stamp set from the self. This set has got great images,  and while our Project Life line is made for quick and easy memory keeping, all of our Project Life items  were created using our color families and work well for stamping project too!

PL Holiday Cheer

I know I digress so back to the project – want to see what I came up with? I think my daughter’s friends will enjoy this little surprise when she goes back to school after the fall break next week. After all college is stressful and they need a little something to make them smile as they head into the last half of the semester, right?

On a personal note, if you don’t live locally you may not know that we are gearing  up for some severe winter weather. If you live locally, you know exactly what that means here in North Georgia – and it gets kind of crazy.

So I though I would share what we woke up to this morning.

This first one is of our yard – you can see the tire tracks from my son’s four wheeler. He told his dad he was just running to get his coat! My husband that that this was the long way around running down stairs to get his coat – LOL

So this was 7 a.m. this morning.

Snow Storm Feb 11 2014 Chewie (3)

Here is a photo of Chewie, our eldest four legged child. She is on her “perch” watching the snow fall and all those pesky birds again – I’m sure you can hear her again in today’s video. Oh well, I’m not sure what I’m going to do about that when I video the next time – LOL.

Snow Storm Feb 11 2014 Chewie (1)

And here is the view just a few minutes ago of our oak tree next to the house. As you can see the snow is really starting to pile up on those branches, and for those of us who live in the south you know what kind of trouble that can mean. Especially for all those pine trees along our power lines. This mornings prediction was up to 6 or 7 inches in my area, but the biggest problem isn’t the snow – right now were still above freezing and you can hear the gutters running. Our biggest worry is the ice that is suppose to follow this tomorrow.

Snow Storm Feb 11 2014 Chewie (2)

So that being said – I do plan on posting, however depending on my power and internet situation which is already giving me fits …….. well, you get the idea.

Hope everyone stays safe and warm in their homes this go round. And for those wonderful DOT and public safety jobs who have to be out – I’ll be saying a little prayer for you. My husband is one of those that’s on call 24/7 so I’m hoping that there’s very little need for them this time.
