School dance ask/answer ideas

I thought that if I posted these, it may help someone else (like me) who goes to the internet to help my kids find creative ways to ask/answer for a school dance.
I thought this was cute. A girl asked my son this way.

He simply took the YES rock back to her to answer.

School dance ask/answer ideas

Brady asked when I wasnt home, so I dont have pictures of his asking. He wanted to ask by getting Crush soda and saying I'd be "crush"ed if you didnt go to the dance with me, but he couldnt find the soda, so he got some cry baby candy and said I would be a Cry Baby if you didnt go to the dance with me.
This is her response.

I think he unwrapped 4 boxes inside of boxes. There were pop rocks as he unwrapped too.

In the last box was rocks. The note says: Id be dumber than a box of rocks if I didnt say YES!

Young Women gifts

Sorry I haven't posted for a while. Life just got too busy.
I am in the Stake Young Women's presidency. We are making these as gifts for girls who earn their personal progress...get it? "Purse"onal Progress. Inside are 8- 3x3 cards, one for each value. (to see what the purse looks like with cards inside, see this post) Each card is decorated in the color of the value and there's a little quote about the value on the card. The girls have really liked these. We also give them to leaders who earn theirs as well. Cute huh?

I was trying to get ahead so I made several on this day.

I used Die Cuts with a View paper stack (La Creme) and ribbon. Easy to make, just time consuming.
Thanks for stopping by, Ill try to update more often.

6x6 tiles

I thought I had already uploaded these. I made some 6x6 tiles like my 4x4 coasters, but I put the 6x6 tiles in a stand to display them. This is what I came up with for these.
The snowman pattern is from the "I Believe" book by Art to Heart. It's a quilt book. I used Echo Park papers on this.

This Santa pattern came from the same book. I used Basic Grey papers on this one.

and this one came from the book as well. I used Basic Grey papers for this one.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!!

More tile coaster designs

Here are the other designs I made for the tile coasters.
I love this little penguin. He was made from a pattern by Kaylas Kreations. I dont know where you can find these patterns anymore...she has taken her site down.

This reindeer is one I saw in an idea book a couple of years ago. I think they used a coaster from a restaurant to make the head...I just paper pieced it.

I dont remember where I found this pattern, but they are cute huh?

Hope you like my ideas. Leave me a comment so I know you stopped by :)

Christmas Coasters

I dont know if you remember the tile coasters I made back in March, but I decided to make some Christmas sets. Here is one of the sets I have made (there's more I'll show you later).

I used Basic Grey papers on it. I pieced one and copied them like I did before so it would be quicker and less bulky. I hope the people receiving these will enjoy them.
I'll share the rest with you later.
Happy Holidays!
