Gifts for End of Year

Tonight I got to do something I don't get to often - 

craft with my daughter

She defiantly has the crafty DNA but is in 

a stage where she doesn't have time or the ambition 

( I hope it passes sooner than later)

We made gift boxes for her fabulous Gymnastics coaches 

& for her close friends as she is Graduating grade 8 and she is going 

to a different school than they are.

we bought them the hip trendy leather strap bracelets 

that have charms and words on them - 

dint think to take a photo of the gift !! lol 

Googled a pic for a sample

she picked a different one and colour for each person- 

we ordered them moths ago !

we saw these in Arizona & LA but they were a bit pricier,

gotta love that online shopping

So tonight we made the packaging 

Here is Taylor attaching trim.

 

Here is the mess and creation area

Here are the Coaches boxes

 we used the Sizzix Big L Candy Wrapper

Here are the ones for her friends at Grad

hope you all have a chance to be creative with someone you love!

Copic Colouring

So I am almost half moved into my new room.

I need to get the closet shelves in then I can move in.

So I have been colouring at me new desk ...

Now to make cards!!

i created something Funa dn wonderful but 

can not take the credit - I was inspiresdt by two fellow crafter

Nancy @ the Nickel Nook

You will be sure to be as inspired as I was! 

so after seeing their craftiness I made these for Alex's Teachers

Not the colours I would first go to - 

but I bought the cards at Micheals

SHHH - I was making them 

- but decided on the easel & both just wasnt going to be an option!

The have litte drawers that pull out & the card on top lefts open on an easel.

I got the instructions here :
