Celebrate with Flourish

Happy Mothers Day!
Having a wonderful mom that loves her grandchildren, is the inspiration to bring great memories to this special day.  For the card I used 3 panels 5" x 10" panes, to form an accordion.

For the Mothers Day heading, I used Celebrate with Flourish cartridge.

The message is very special, and express what is a great mother.

On the first inside accordion, I decorated with a border with big bright circles and cut the border for the pictures in a contrast color.  The picture that I used is at least 6 years old.

On the center, since we talk also Spanish, I wrote "Cada año se pone..." that means Every year gets...

For the last accordion, I used on of the most recent pictures with mom and all the grandchildren.  The heading said "mejor"  - "better.

This is the look for the card to be displayed.

Happy Mothers Day!

Animal Kingdom - bookmarks

Last March, my daughter had a Western Theme camping at Girl Scout.  The challenge was to create a swap "something" to exchange with all the girls between ages 5-17.  Since I had Animal Kingdom cartridge we decided to do bookmarks. 

We did three versions, the pig, the ruster and the horse.

Each animal was highlighted with chalks.

On the back she identify with a little sticker her name and troop number.

This was a cheap and cool idea since we had to do 75!

Wild Card - Teacher Thanks

Since my son is in Kindergarten, his teacher was in love with him.  Until today that he is in 5th grade they still having a special bond and connection.  This past bring your child to work, he decided to be helping her in her classroom.  Their is no way to thank that love, but only showing the appreciation for so many years.  With all our love, to Mrs. Pardo, saying thank you!

The accordion mini book has all pages cut 5 x 5, in two sections of 5 x 10 to be fold in half.  The #1 Teacher was cut with cricut Wild Card Cartdrige.  Each page have a color border (red or salmon) cut 4.75 x 4.75 inches.  The borders at the bottom of each page are being used to bring some color to the page.  

Every page will show the changes in Carlos thought the years, starting in Kindergarten (2006).

To display the last two years, I did a Mini Album inside the accordion to show 4th and 5th grade.

The last page is the last picture that we took on Bring your child to work that I know for her is going to be very special.  Each page is identify by the grade using some banner style form handwritten by my friend Carmen.

Some flowers details are from America Girls flowers pre cut pack.

I hope you enjoyed it!

Kate's ABC -Leadership Card

Hello Friends:
This week we celebrated Teacher Appreciation Week, and I will like to congratulate all my friends teacher that gave so much for our children's.  We had to prepared at school a Chinese Luncheon of our teachers and we had someone very special that always orchestrate all the volunteer moms to offer their best, and that is my friend Claudia.  Since the luncheon was a tremendous success, I had to give her a thank you note, but have to be one special with a message that describes her.  This is her card:

 

I used 4" of the water pot from Kate's ABC in a "gingan" paper.

The message is from quotes.com:  Leadership, the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it, by Eisenhower

The ribbon will bring dimension to the card inside.

And the envelope will have the same water pot just in one color.

I hope you like it.  She was very thankful for the card and specially for the message.

By the way she recruited me when my son was in kindergarten and know he is in 5th grade.  I am very  bless to worked with her for so many years.  Thank you Claudia, for being so special.

We love you.

Camping Creatures - Carlos - My Boy Scout

Hello everyone:
As you can see I love Mini Albums, and its time is one for my son Carlos.  He is in Cub Scouts for the last 5 years and last March we bridge to Boy Scouts.  I am very proud of him and since his 5th grade graduation is coming soon, I did a Mini Album about one of the things that he likes the most:  scouting.

The base to start the letters is a Square from Cricut Craft Room Basics.  All the letters will be cut attached to the square increasing the with 1/2 inches between letters.  The letters are also from Cricut Craft Room.

C is for Carlos but also we used it for Camping, one of his best events in scouting.  Some stickers are being used from K&Company Scouts. (Jo-ann)

 A is for Adventure.  Their is a lot of adventure in scouting:  kayaking, cross country, aviation, rock/wall claiming, archery, shooting among other that thru the years Carlos is being expose.

R is for Rope.  Their is so  many knots with ropes that you would never end.  In the first page the rope was made by him without knowing that I was going to use it on his album.

L is for love, in conditional love.  As his parents we support him 200% to reach is goal, being an eagle scout.

 

O is for "on my honor" the words from the scouts promise.  For the pictures I used his two uniforms, Cub scout and Boy Scout, since is very recent his  bridging to BS.

S is for scouts.  I am very proud to have him in Troop 816, and also to be part of a scout family.  My husband is a leader in BS and since my daughter is in Girl Scout, I am a Cadette Leader.

I can't wait to see his face when I give him the album.  I will keep you posted.

I hope you enjoyed.
