Big Sister Scrapbook Page Layout

Ok so I am forever working on my childrens' scrapbooks - My daughter is almost 4 and I've only just started on hers. My poor baby boy won't get his until he's old and gray at the rate I'm going. BUT I did manage to put this cute 2-page layout together. I love how it turned out. I managed to make the little owl, bee and ladybug out of punches - to match the paper! 

I don't work on my scrapbooks as often as I'd like - just so many other things to make! So when I DO get around to working on some pages - I like to say "Scrappin' did Happen"!!

Don't Forget Teacher

As the holidays roll around - we don't want to forget the teachers in our lives who spend most of the day with our children! Las year I made this basket of goodies for my daughter's 1st grade teacher. 

In it was a handmade card, a pack of personalized stationary, a personalized journal and jar filled with 100 questions that will help him write down his journey as a teacher. The basis of this gift is to provide the teacher with the necessary tools & inspiration to compile his/her *story*.  Several questions are printed onto paper and cut into strips, then curled around a pencil. I got this great gift idea from Nicole Heady who is a huge inspiration to me. Here is the list of questions - already formated and ready to go!

I made personalized stationary for the principal, librarian and another teacher as well. If any of you want to make this adorable stationary I am happy to share it! - email me at hill311@mac.com and I will send you the document - you simply change the name to personalize your own stationary. Print several sheets and cut it in half!
