I can't believe my son had his last day of preschool this week, the school year has really gone by quickly. Now let's hope that I survive the summer with my two busy boys.
To thank Tyler's teacher and assistant, I made to gift card bouquets for each of them. I got the idea from
Disney Family Fun magazine. I had other interested parents send me gift cards to include in the bouquet. Here's how I made it:
I used the scalloped circle from "Accent Essentials" cartridge cut at 3.5" and the three flower layers are from "Plantin SchoolBook" cartridge, cut at 3", 2.75", 2.15". I used a pencil to curl the edges up and used adhesive to stick the layers together.
The gift card envelope that the flowers are attached to is from the "Sweethearts" cartridge. The dimensions are 7.15" wide x 3.30" high. Once these were assembled, I attached the flowers that I made.
Finally, I attached the gift card flower envelopes to 18 gauge floral wire that I coiled at one end. I maybe would get a little thicker gauge wire next time, some of them were a little top heavy.
I think any person would love to receive this special arrangement. I hope this inspires some great ideas for you all, I am really enjoying these paper flowers.

With Father's Day coming up, I wanted to share the Father's Day Card I made for my dad and father-in-law. The used origami to make the shirt. It was really simple to do from a 4" x 6" piece of paper. I used button brads that I had on hand. I then printed out "Happy Father's Day" onto some card stock and cut it out. The shirt and sentiment are raised up with foam dots.
