Jenifer needed a couple quick and easy teacher gifts for the first day of school.  This came together quickly and she made several in a few minutes.  She threw in a couple new pencils and some treats and the kids were off. These would be find for the upcoming holidays as well as you could write any message you like on the chalkboard tags.

Birthday Tag Bag with Jenifer Cowels

Jenifer Cowels had this to say about today's gorgeous project: "I needed a fun way to give a little gift card.  I put together this little bag/tag/card, the tag slides in and you could adhere a gift card to it and still have enough room to write a greeting and note.  I am so happy with how this turned out I know I will be making more in my future."

Thanks for sharing this beautiful project with us, Jenifer!

Bottoms Up Layout with Alyssa McGrew

Bottom's Up Layout
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Alyssa McGrew

Today's 12x12 layout comes from Alyssa McGrew. I love how she uses our pennant labels to build layers into her layout - they are so much more affordable than the stickers out on the market and you can print or stamp anything you like on them.

It seems that Alyssa's daughter has found even milk to be a special treat when enjoyed from a pretty glass.

Love Always Mommy Layout by Lisa Spiegel

Love Always Mommy Layout
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Lisa Spiegel

Have you ever pulled out a coat or purse after having not used it in awhile and discovered a $10 bill? It is such a lovely unexpected surprise. The same thing happened to me today when I was doing a bit of inbox cleaning I found one more project from Lisa that I hadn't shared yet with you - a lovely surprise!

Lisa filled her layout with doilies, a library card, vellum bag and our shipping tags. 

In her own words "I use all of these products on almost every layout I create!  I just love the subtle layering they allow and the ability to hide my journaling in the vellum bag is one of my best tricks to sharing meaningful journaling that you might not want everyone looking through your album to see."
