MDS Blog Hop: Teacher Thank You Cards

It's finals week! I am so ready to be done with school until Fall. Yay! I will be starting at a new school and so will Esper. I am very sad to have to say goodbye to her wonderful teachers and friends. I'm sure she'll love her new school but she had such a great time and grew so much and I'll always think of it as her first "school" experience. She went from having anxiety around people to really opening up and making lots of friends. Our theme this week reminded me that I needed to make some teacher appreciation gifts for her teachers. I made it really simple- it only took me about 10 minutes to design one of these and then copy and paste it so I had two. I will just attach these to Target gift cards and call it good.

MDS Blog Hop: You At Two Scrapbook Page

I was in love with Esper's preschool portrait she came home with. I was actually holding her on my lap in this picture. She was too shy to sit on her own in front of the stranger holding the camera. And that little hand up under her neck is indicator of that. This is such an interesting age she is at. She can be sweet as sugar all day, kissing me and telling me over and over how she loves me "a hundwed" and then be throwing things the next minute because she didn't get what she wanted. But honestly, do we ever grow out of throwing tantrums? I'll miss all the kisses and cuddles and probably even the hilarious ways she throws fits one day.

MDS Blog Hop: One Year Anniversary!

The MDS Blog Hop is celebrating our one-year anniversary! Yippee! What a fun year it has been. Our first challenge was to create a school-themed project. I remember how exciting it was to see what everyone had created. We all have very different styles but I think you'll all agree with me when I say that THESE WOMEN ARE SO CREATIVE! I'm grateful they all said yes when I asked them to join last year.

To celebrate, we are making celebration-themed projects. This is a card I designed for Convention that didn't end up on display. I also created a page of matching tags for you to download and use. Just punch a hole in the corner and use ribbon to attach them to a gift. These would be great on back-to-school gifts for the kids or teacher gifts. For downloading these, I only ask that you click on the right side of my blog to "like" me on Facebook ----->

I have a Blog Hop bonus project today just for members of my online class My Secret Studio- another card + a video showing how to create your own printables. The class will be open for a while, so you don't have to worry about playing along live with us. Go at your own pace and learn when you have time. Are you excited to use the new MDS 2? I've been creating video tutorials on how to use all the new features.
