Where has the time gone?

Ok, I have not abandoned my blog.  I've been working on my soccer gifts and don't know where the time has gone.  I've wanted to participate in so many challenges and didn't get to any.  I know this next week will be very busy too so don't know how much stamping I will get done.  Our soccer banquet is Friday night and I've got a lot to do for that. 

I wanted to show you what I've been working on this past week.  I made these cute little boxes to hold the altered notebooks and candy.  I still have to buy some gift cards to put in them.  Once that is added, I am adding white shredded paper to it.  That little bit of white hanging out and over the edges adds a nice finish. 

I used my Cricut cartridge Sports Mania for the decorations on the boxes, except for the soccer ball.  It was stamped (SU! Have A Ball) and punched out.  On the backside of the box I made a soccer jersey and put the player's number on it.

I'm sitting here tonight basking in happiness.  Our varsity soccer team just won the state championship this afternoon.  I'm so happy for the guys...they had an excellent season this year.  

To all the moms out there, I hope you have a very Happy Mother's Day.

Thank you gifts

I want to give my soccer board a little thank gift at our end-of-the-season banquet.  I have a great board who help run our soccer booster club at the high school.  My upline, Mary Fish, and Pretty Pal, Kris, showed me some really cute journals that they altered.  Thanks for giving me some good ideas Pals! 

I bought the little spiral notebooks at Staples and covered them with designer paper which I got at Hobby Lobby in a big patterned paper pack.   I used my cricut and cuttlebug to add the details on each notebook.  The soccer ball (Have A Ball) and definition (Define Your Life) are from Stampin' Up!

I made a pen holder using heavy cardstock and covered it with designer paper.  It was then attached to the back of the notebook with Scor Tape.

A quick post tonight...I'm tired but I did want to share my notebooks before calling it a day. I hope you all have a great week.  Make someone's day...smile at them.
