MDS Blog Hop - Teacher Gift Bag Tag

 
I have been working on Teacher Gifts! Hopefully this inspires you to make these and just how easy it is to add a MDS tag with it! I was so excited to make these cute teacher gifts that I saw on Pinterest.  A beach towel, magazines, sunscreen, snacks, note pads and little frame all in a beach bag! If I was a teacher, I would LOVE this! It would get me excited for the summer!!!
Of course, finding everything at one shopping location is so helpful!
I found the beach towels at Five and Below while everything else came from Target in our local shopping center. Love the beach bag from the Target Dollar Spot!
I created the tags in My Digital Studio and kept them very simple. I used the colors from the beach towel in the coloring tool on the stamped image. On the back, I just added a text box for the writing in the same colors.
Something new I noticed with printing from home with My Digital Studio is so EASY!! It is so much easier to print at home than ever before! Go to Share and Print. Do you see the Quick settings on the bottom? When you select the "4Up" it can print 6 tags all together. I put Whisper White cardstock in the printer. When it printed the first page. I quickly re-inserted the same piece back and it printed the writing on the other side. All I had to do was cut them to the size and punch a hole. Easy, right?
Here is the goodies inside the bag. See that little yellow frame? Little sneak peak from products in the new catalog coming soon! I am totally in love with Washi tape!!!
Have a great day!

MDS Blog Hop - Goodbye Elementary School!

 
 Our countdown to the end of school has begun! We have 13 days left! Can you believe it!?
 It also means 13 more days of our beloved Elementary School. I just love that school, the staff and the people. I was really involved there where my oldest Megan was in the school and I worked completely from home. I would volunteer to do reading, book fairs, make copies, all field trips, etc. My husband has been more involved with our youngest Allison's field trips in the years past. Many teachers jump for joy when they see that he has signed up to go on one. Not kidding! 
On the front, I made my own designer series paper to do the alphabet background which was made with a stamp brush image repeated over and over.  The apple was colored with the color tool - LOVE IT! Just noticed I forgot to add the freeform highlight to the inside apple. Double doo-doo! (yes, I love Grease- heehee)
 
I got these cute cards printed on May 1st as soon as the 25% print promo started and they should be here by Friday. I hope! I plan to give one to all the special people at the school that we have worked with over the past several years, staff and faculty. We will miss them!
