Happy Friday! I've got a lot of fun stuff to show you today! When I first started thinking about what to make with my JustRite stamps, I jotted some notes down...and I actually ended up with quite a list (and I will be trying most of them out at one point or another)! It wasn't until last week that I finally decided on a project...and it wasn't even on my "list"! LOL! I was in town doing some errands and my five year old son, Bryan, pointed excitedly to the "B" on the side of the mountain saying, "Look Mom, it's B...B for Bryan"!!! This isn't the first time he's done this...in fact, he usually points this out every trip into town...all with the same excitement! LOL! Well, this got me thinking about how much he loves the letter B. He just started kindergarten this year, and although he isn't officially "reading", he does know a lot of his letters and what they say...particularly the first letters of everyone in our family! :-) On our way home (which is an hour away from town), Bryan was coloring in a coloring book to help pass the time. That's when it hit me!! We will be going to Switzerland this year to visit my husband's family...which means a looooong airplane trip. I knew right then that I wanted to make a little "travel kit" for him...and mark everything with the letter "B"!! :-)
This is the gift bag I made to hold all the goodies. I used some Crate Paper (Zoom Collection) to cover a plain ol' brown lunch bag and create a tag (which is detachable so it can later be used as a bookmark).
This picture show the notebook cover I made...the box of crayons...and the absolutely essential (at least for air travel) gum. :-)
In this picture, you can see a little bag of "coins" that I made a topper for. Every traveler needs money right? (Even if they are chocolate...hehehee!) I also created a "dog tag" for this adorable stuffed doggie...with a "B" on it of course!
Here is a picture of the whole ensemble...and yes, that is a LOT of "B"s! LOL! I love that this didn't take very long...but will for sure be appreciated! :-) Michelle has lots of fun new JustRite products in stock...and don't forget about the FREE C-45 Monogram Stamper that she is giving away on her blog!! Also...make sure to check out what Tosh comes up with tomorrow!
Thanks so much for stopping by! ~Laurie
