More from Tsunami Rose...

Happy Saturday my Sweet Friends!

So I checked out Daisy's store again and I found another printable to love!  It's composed of some of my favorite elements... clocks, flowers, and text. The vibe is kind of grungy so I really wanted to try it out.  I made another tag... the printable is called "Grandiloquence" - I don't even know how to pronounce that but, nonetheless, I love it! Hahaha... I rummaged through my stash and found some metal pieces, flowers and embellies and hoped to pull it all together.  I didn't want to overdo it with the embellishments, cause I really wanted to showcase the paper...  here's how it turned out:



Isn't it just really pretty paper? The sentiment is also from Daisy's store. Once I purchased it, I saved it to my thumb drive and took it to Office Depot to print. For only 20 cents I got the whole sheet of banner sentiments printed on smooth shiny cardstock, and saved myself quite of bit of my own ink.  Plus my printer in NOT laser, and would never give me the look of the fancy schmancy copier at the store.  Daisy also had several other senti printables, some with the "white on black" print that I'm currently obsessing over!  
Here's the paper:

Here's the sentiments printable:

Thanks for stopping by guys!! Please come back soon, and if you have a chance to shop at Daisy's store, please post whatever you make on the Facebook Fan Page!  
We'd love to see it!!!
Big Hugs,

Challenge #31 @ Tsunami Rose

Hello my dear blog buddies!
If you are up for a challenge, here's a great one to take on!  It's Challenge #31 "Anything Goes!" with Tsunami Rose! This month Daisy is showcasing her Mechanical Error Printable Journal Kit.  I used one of the printables from that collection. 
Here's what I created... a 6x6 canvas:


I enjoyed making this little canvas and found Daisy's design easy to work with and elegantly beautiful.  Please check out Daisy's blog HERE!
Hope you'll join us for this challenge! It's a great opportunity to play, and a chance to win some pretty fabulous prizes:

First Day of School...

Hi Guys!
So you know that Staples commercial that ran right before school started a few years ago, the one where the Dad is singing "it's the most wonderful time of the year..." and the kids are miserable while shopping for school supplies...

Well, that's how I feel about the first day of the school! Next to Christmas, it really is the most wonderful time of the year!  I LOVE everything about the first day of school! The freshly waxed floors, the brand new crayons, super pointy pencils... the list goes on and on!  Best of all, I love my new students!  A new set to love, and another chance to impact a little life!  The next best thing... is my co-teacher Noel.  We have been team teaching for several years, and after feeling a little worn out in our third grade classrooms, we decided it was time to try something new.  We talked to our principal, and asked if something came up (where we could still teach together) to please let us know.  Long story short, the very next day we were offered a spot in kindergarten.  It'd be the two of us, an aid, and 35 little darlin's!  Today we start our second year as kindergarten teachers, and we couldn't be happier!  Frankly, I attribute my happiness and my renewed enthusiasm for teaching to Noel.  We have a very easy relationship, we share the same work ethic, and the same vision for our students. I seriously cannot image doing this job with anyone else.  I consider myself blessed to have her as my work day companion and friend.  This year Noel will be the BIG 3-0, so I've made her a little mini album to commemorate the occasion.  

 Here it is:



I used Heidi Swapp's Sugar Chic collection, and made my first attempt at Kathy Orta's hinge binding. 
I hope Noel loves it!

Thanks for visiting, and thanks for your patience with my long-winded story, lol!!

Have a great day my friends!
Big Hugs,

Yvonne
