Raven's Flower n Class Book

So this weekend is my lil' man's teacher's birthday and I wanted to give her something that is different.  She mentioned she loved the Raven's so I knew I had to make something Raven-y, and this is what I came up with.

Basically, I took 2 silk flowers (one purple, one black) take them apart and split up the colors.  I then put them back together but this time putting the middle section of the flower using the purple and the bottom using the black.  Then I just put it in a vase with some black rocks, added purple and black netting, wrapped a purple ribbon around the vase, and added a Raven's logo to the middle of the ribbon.  That's it.

But I didn't stop there with her gifts. I also made a birthday accordian book card from all the students in her class which had a picture of each child holding a letter.  And when read spells out - "Happy Birthday We Love U!" Here's how it looks ...

Sorry it's blury. It was hard fitting 22 pages in 1 shot.

 

There's my lil' man holding the "love heart".

So?  What do you think?

Raven's Flameless Candle

What a game!  It's too bad we didn't make it to the SuperBowl but that's ok.  Next year!

Here's a Raven's flameless candle that I created using Dollar Store flameless candle, tissue paper, Raven's graphic, modge podge, black ribbon, and my printer.

All I did was create a graphic design on my computer, printed it on white tissue paper, cut it out, pasted it on with modge podge and allowed it to dry.  Then decorated (actually hid uneven cuts) with a black ribbon.  Tah-dah!  Here it is lit at night.

Not too bad, right?  I'm actually a fan of this.  It does have some wrinkles because ... my is that modge podge super tacky!  The second I put the tissue print on it, it was stuck.  Oh well.  I still like it.
