game-night-prizesToday I wanted to share the prizes I made last night for my Game Night class (the class is tonight).  I used the Jackpot Designer Series Paper, the Game Night Stamp set and the coordinating wheel In the Cards.  The colors are So Saffron, Real Red, Basic Black and Very Vanilla.  I used various ideas with the small and medium cello bags.  Some are topped with the Top Note die cut with the Big Shot.  Fold it one way and it fits on a medium cello bag and fold it the other and it fits on the small cello bag.  Some have the DSP inside and the punched with the double rectangle punch and So Saffron ribbon pulled through.  I used a variety of items for my prizes – Stampin’ Up! chapstick, Stampin’ Up! pens, assorted Stampin’ Up! buttons, and assortment of the Textured Love Notes from last year.  I hope everyone likes them.

 

One other thing I wanted to share today was the birthday gift that Ryan made for me.  Ryan is my youngest and he is 12.  He designed and created this idea all on his own over the weekend.   He asked me for some wire which I had in my craft room.  And this is what he turned it into: ryans-gift 

 

What do you think?

I think he has some creative genes in his body too.  It is me and him holding hands.  He did all of the work himself with a sautering tool (I’m sure I didn’t spell that right). 

I LOVE IT!  Thank you Ryan!

My older boys are taking me to dinner at one of the local Mexican Resteraunts that we like to eat at.  And Kyle is going to drive – which happens to be a big deal in our family.  At 17 he still only drives where he absolutely has to and right now that is basically to and from school.  For whatever reason he is not very interested in driving.  He does have a car now (well it is actually a family car) that he can drive and that has made a difference.  Anyway, I was thrilled and can’t wait for us to go – now to pick an evening to do it.  Maybe this weekend…..

Have a wonderful day!
