For Valentine's Day, my sweet husband bought me a new toy. (He knows me so well... No chocolates, no flowers... crafting supplies!) Anyway, my gift was an itop brad maker. Oh, the possibilities! So, I found these beauties at the Dollar Tree. Don't get me wrong! They are nice... but I saw something more...
Ahh... my new flowers for my desk! But take a closer look... 
My little angels! Ok... are they cute or what?! I removed the yellow bloom, which left the green leaves on the back. I bought the variety pack of paper flowers at Michael's. To make the brads, I simply printed a black and white picture of each boy and used the itop pattern maker for this size brad.
Ethan... my loverboy. Can't you see the twinkle in his eyes?! I never know what this child is going to say!
Creed... my sensitive, sweet little man. He is my constant show... always thinking of his next movie character to portray!
I am totally thinking about having my students make these as Mother's Day gifts for their moms. What do you think?
I think they are adorable! And the Mother's would love them so much! Hey, can my boys come to your school? Just for the day? ;0) Totally Awesome!
ReplyDeletebring them on!! :) Thanks for the comment!
ReplyDeleteHow fun. That is super cute and I think that I would be able to keep them a live :0).
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for the mother's day gifts! I'm sure they would be a big hit! That's such a great Val day gift from your man!
