Piper's 3rd Birthday!

I can't believe my niece is turning THREE today!  Where has the time gone?  I only wish I was able to celebrate her special day with her, but unfortunately, we live in different states.  So, here's the card I made for her!

Scrapbook Camp!

Wow!

I'ts been a while since my last post.  Lots going on...I held my annual scrapbook camp (two sessions) these past few weeks and had a blast.  The 11-13 year old girls had tons of fun making gorgeous projects and cards.  Below are the samples I made for each day the girls came (except Wednesday's magnetic picture frames...those are the girls' creations from my first session)!  My ideas came from a variety of places (my friend, Erica, who is a FANTASTIC, creative Stampin Up Demonstrator, Pinterest, Stampin' Up's catalogs and Stampin' Success magazines, as well as some of the blogs I follow).

Counselor's Week Paper Heart Wreath

Every year, Counselor's week falls right around Valentine's day (the first week of February).  I always make our two FABULOUS Counselor's something to treasure and this year was no different.  In fact, I think this is my FAVORITE one by far.  I "stole" the idea from a blog I follow, but of course, tweaked it to be my own style!

"Amazingly, Awesome, Talented...YOU" Paper heart wreath!

And...here are our FABULOUS Counselors!

THANKS Mrs. Van Allen and Mrs. Guerra for all you do for children!
