An Exciting New Venture!

I'm so excited to announce that I FINALLY joined Stampin' Up as an Independent Demonstrator!  I have been part of a SU club for quite some time now and many times have been approached to join, I just never took the leap.  Well, Stampin' Up has such a great joining offer right now that I just couldn't pass it up - I knew this was my time to join!  Soooo, if you're looking for some cutesy projects or just want to purchase SU projects, just click on my link to the side and be taken away to my personal SU website!  And what's even more exciting is the new catalog goes live next week on June 1st!  I've already perused it several times and my-oh-my there are sooo many cute new items that I just must have!  I can't wait to get my hands on some of the beautiful new stamps and start creating!  And the new In-Colors are to die for! 

So I haven't had much time to be crafty now that I'm a mommy of two, however I had a couple of "have-to" projects that needed to get done.  One of them being teacher end-of-year gifts for my son's preschool teachers.  It was a bittersweet ending to my oldest's year at school as this was his last year of preschool (sniff, sniff)!  So I found this super-cute tutorial for a back-pack gift box that I found to be perfect for his teacher gifts!  The template and tutorial can be found on this cutesy blog:  
http://sarahsinkspot.com/blog/backpack-tutorial  She gives step-by-step instructions on how to make these cuties!  I'm posting pics of mine, however I do apologize as I only had time to snap pics with my smartphone, so they're not the best pics!  But I hope you enjoy them anyways:)
 
 


 
 
Hope you like my little backpacks and be sure and stop by my Stampin' Up website:)
