Birthday Tags

I have been making tags a lot lately, along with everything else. I love to incorporate them into my scrapbook pages and also add them to gift bags. I think they add the perfect touch. I have a couple of birthdays coming up this month and I wanted to get some made to have ready instead of waiting till the last minute like I usually do. I had gotten these cute little die cuts from Target clearance years ago and had never used them. The colors didn't really go with any birthday pages that I've done, so I thought they would be perfect for gift bags. I seemed to have the perfect color ribbon and buttons in my stash to add to them.

Teacher Gift-Mini Clipboard

My precious son starts kindergarten next week and I wanted to start it off right with a little happy for his teacher. We met her last week for a summer party and she is the sweetest! I had bookmarked one like this on Two Peas a while back and new I wanted to make one at some point. The girl used a digital kit that was no longer available, so I improvised with some paper I had gotten recently at Michael's. I used a Martha punch for the apple and used Photoshop Elements to create her name and printed them on 3 x 5 index cards. The little clipboard actually came from AC Moore and it has this little peg on the back where it can actually stand up. I made a matching tag for the bag. I also want to add some hand sanitizer that I vinyl with her intials before next Wednesday. Have to get the monogramming in somewhere, right?

Another Monogrammed Project

I made this cute little water bottle for my son's summer camp teacher. Tomorrow is the last day of camp and I wanted to send her a little something to say thank you for taking care of him this summer. I thought it turned out pretty cute. I used some pink Cricut vinyl a couple of weeks ago that I hadn't tried out yet and the Curlz font for the "B". The zebra print is actually fabric and not paper. The "B" didn't stick as well to the fabric, but I got it on there somehow. I made a cute little card that said thank you to put in the bag, but didn't get a picture of that. I got the bottle at Hobby Lobby and it just unscrews so you can put something in there to decorate it. They were 30% off this week.
