...LaSt dAy KeEpSaKe...

Yesterday was the last day for one of my little day care girlies...she'll be headed off to school next week.  

I made her a little something to help remember her time here.

I bought the wooden box at Michaels and covered it in paper I've had in my stash forever.  You can't really tell in the picture, but the box is painted a pale pink...it kinda  looks unfinished in the photos...

I mod-podged on all the paper and the photo...doesn't she look sassy in that picture?   She is! :)  The ribbon is from PTI.  The paper is Chatterbox.

I made an accordion mini album for to put inside...using pictures I've taken from when she was a baby up until now...just a tiny bit of embellishing to not take away from her cute face :)  I also used some Making Memories metal tiles that I have had foReVeR.  They worked perfectly and had never been touched...oops! :) nothing like being a hoarder!!!

I have another of these to make for next week since I have another little one going to Kindergarten...it's always sad when they leave..the big girls (4 year olds) are always such a  crack up!  They are sooooo little people by that age with lots of skills and big attitudes...they make me laugh every day!

...past projects...

Sorry for there being nothing newly made here for the last few days...it's been the scrapbook ShOp HoP here in So Cal...so I've been busy buying goodies for future projects :) 

Until I can get something  made with my amazing new paper and ribbon and chipboard and ...OK...you get the idea...here's an older project...

This was the Day Care project for Mother's Day last year...

We made silhouette breakfast in bed trays...They were really easy and turned out super cute...I'm just sorry I didn't make myself one :) 

 I took a profile picture of each child, printed it out on copy paper, cut out the silhouette, then just flipped it over, painted it black and mod podged it onto my painted tray...a few more coats of sealer and it was all done.

I packaged them in a big bag with a muffin, bottle of juice, and a card the kids made...along with a note (that was to be opened on Saturday)  to the dads telling them that they could add fresh flowers, fruit, coffee, eggs, or anything else they thought their deserving wives might like...and that they should help their child serve mommy breakfast in bed...the moms all LoVeD it!  They got breakfast and a cute keepsake...a nice way to start Mother's Day!  :)
