Don't Erase the Memories

We are blessed to know some amazing people, here in the Conejo Valley... we moved here and some of the first people we met were on the campus of our Preschool (Christian Preschool of Thousand Oaks). 
 
We moved in a week before school started, lol.  I remember the movers leaving boxes as far as the eye can see, pregnant, our son was 3, an 18 month old busy baby girl.. so I took solace at the school. 

Our son was blessed with Mrs. Curtis as one of his preschool teachers and this year she was our daughter's preschool teacher!!
 
We created this Dry Erase Board for the teachers this year.. check it out and leave me a comment and let me know what you think.!!
This sweet Designer Series Paper (Storytime - it Retired!!) is the perfect base for a Teacher Gift of a Dry Erase Board!!
Mrs. Willis helped run the classroom-show.. we couldn't leave her out on the fun!
 
Framing out our beautiful papers allows for variety and style.... personalize a gift with unlimited options in frames and our many papers, accessories, etc.
The Director of the Preschool, Brenda, has become a dear friend, mentor and sounding board of mine.  Her honesty, reliability, availability.. it's been a salvation during these past few years.
Accenting the dry erase board with our new Simply Pressed Clay (#130685) and Buttons & Blossoms Simply Pressed Clay Molds (#131272).  Alter the clay with our ReInkers - it can become tie died, match any project you are working on, etc.
Adhere the molded and died clay with stronger adhesive.. here I used our Hot Glue gun and even accessorized it with our adhesive backed Pearl Basic Jewels (#119247).
Going Bright with our Retired Bright Collection Designer Buttons and Large Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#129324). 
Using Wet Erase markers allow for writing notes and thoughts or inspiration... but won't just rub or bump off... you have to use something wet... so it lasts longer!
Buttoning up... I love stacking buttons and bling!
My FUTURE Preschooler here - she helped/hindered my creating these gifts - lol.  Busy baby/toddler...
 What a great format to write a note of Thanks to Amazing Teachers!  They won't need to store the card or feel bad when they toss it.. lol.
 
 Memories... Amazing Teachers allow for seeds into the lives of kids who will, some day, run the world.
Thank You Mrs. Curtis....
Thank You, Mrs. Willis!!
 
How do YOU Thank or Gift others in Your life??  This fun, eco friendly, and very-easy-to personalize gift is sure to be a lasting and well-used gift!

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie

Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.

Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.

I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.

If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)

Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
