Easter teacher gifts

The Easter teacher gifts are done! I have to apologize for the bad photo; I took it at my mom's house without my usual setup.   Anyways, I bought a bunch of those stamps that fit into the Nestability dies as I had told you about a week ago for my mom. I got to use them before her. Here I layered three of them, curled up the edges to give "pop" and sandwiched a skewer between two sets of flowers. I diecut Peeps on the Pazzles.  I actually contemplated putting real Peep bunnies in but you know how messy they can be and I didn't want them to dry out.  I sandwiched a skewer in between the bunnies so everything is double sided to be used as a nice little center piece. Placed those into the pails with Hershey Kisses rosebuds I made. And the bottom is lined with Reese's peanut butter eggs in the matching colors.

The pails came from Target's Dollar Spot.  I contemplated the printed pails but thought the plain colored pails, with the bows on each side were better because I didn't have to punch the holes and tie the bows myself. The only thing I regret is not using glue dots to hold the eggs onto the bottom because I'm not a fan of hot glue and this reconfirms my feeling towards it.

Layouts before the weekend is over

I've spent all day at the Scrapbook Expo. Riley was getting antsy. It was hot. I had lots of stuff from the Dollar booths. I bought some cool stuff for my mom at HeartFeltCreations.us. She's all into Nestabilities dies, stamping and stuff. Not my thing because it's way too much work. But these are so her. . .

Didn't get anything exciting nor did I see anything exciting. Just as I was destashing taking Shemelle.com's Something for Almost Nothing class. . . I was getting sad to see some of my favorite embellishments leave my hoarding nest and making it's way onto pages. So what does a girl do? Replace. It's not the same though. But that's what it is there for, right?

So here are a few pages for the class. 

This one was a just free cardstock I got at Pearl's when they closed. It was a sample swatch book. So I started cutting squares then I wanted to lightly distress with that bubble wrap stamp but it fell off my block. Then we have what it is . . .
