School Christmas Tree

Hello all, I hope you are all having a good day!  I finally got my computer to load these pictures. I have been having a little technical difficulty with my camera and computer working together.

I am sharing with you today a big project that happened back at the beginning of December.  After Thanksgiving break my son's teacher asked for my help in Decorating a Christmas Tree.  The first grade was asked to come and decorate the tree at our local bank. The Principal put my son's teacher in charge of the project, and then she came to me knowing that I am crafty.
We all loved it and thought it turned out really cute!

I made all the ornaments using my Cricut. Cartridges used are Doodlecharms and Locker Talk. The school provided me with the paper. I ended up making about 24 of each of the buses, scissors, & glue. I made 120 apples and we put all of the kids pictures on the apples and had them right their name on the back. We used some other school supplies like the crayons and pencils to help fill it in.

The Teacher provided the bow and I just added the school initials in the center.

Thank you so much for visiting today! Happy Crafting!

World's Best Teacher!

Hello all, today I am sharing with you this fun home decor piece that I made for my daughter's 4th grade teacher. I love getting to know the teacher's and I ask them about their favorite color, hobbies, when their Birthday is, etc. That helps me in making fun gifts for them throughout the year. 

This teacher's favorite color is hunter green so I chose a dark green to be the base for this project and it worked out so perfect because it made it look like a chalkboard. I really love how it turned out and she absolutely loved it and couldn't wait to hang it up in her classroom. 

Here are the supplies I used:

Locker Talk, Doodlecharms, & Cricut Craft Room Basics cartridges

Some of the paper is from DCWV & Fancy Pants Designs

All the rest of the paper is scraps from my stash

 "Hey Teacher" 3x4 stamp set from Simon Says Stamp

Versamark ink, Tea Dye Distress ink and Memento Rich Cocoa ink

Blending tool from Ranger 

White Embossing Powder from Stampedous

Wink of Stella clear glitter brush pen

Tombow Mono Multi Glue

Mounting Foam

Tombow tape runner

White gel pen

gray brad

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today!

Connor's Graduation Card

Good morning! Today I want to share with you a card I made for my nephew who is graduating on Monday.  He is the oldest grandchild in the family and I can rememeber helping take care of him when he was a baby!  Time sure does fly. 

I went really simple with this card, after all it is for a boy.  And of course, I used his school colors.

I used my Gypsy to create this card and the Locker Talk cartridge

Graduation Cards!

With school nearing its end for this year I have recieved a couple of Graduation announcements from some of the girls I coach in church sports.  I can't believe they are this old already I have been coaching these girls for about 4-5 years now.  I wanted to share with you the cards I made for each of these girls.

The card I made for Teisha is very traditional, and used our school colors.

I used Locker Talk, and Boys will be Boys cartridges

Teacher Appreciation!

Hello all you crafters,
Today I am going to share with you what I made for my daughter's 1st Grade Teacher.  Besides making a personal gift for her I was in charge of decorating her door for the week.  I have to say I really like how my projects turned out.  

First project is a wooden pencil painted and decorated for the teacher's desk.  As you can see I glittered the eraser, I wound wire around the metal part for the pencil and I used vinyl for the name. 

 For the door I made my very first banner!  I love it! 

I cut the letters from the Boys will be Boys cartridge. 

I put a little bit of bling on each of the letters with stickles. 

I put it up so that she would walk under the banner, instead of putting it flush on the paper. 

I think she is going to keep it up for a long time. 

Cartridges:  George & BS, Locker Talk, Doodlecharms, Boys will be Boys

I used a lot of stickles, some glossy accents, & pop dots.

I used some rainbow ribbon to tie it together. 

And of course I used my Gypsy for the whole project!

Sorry for so many pictures, I was just really proud of this project and wanted to show it off!

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you were inspired.

Graduation Card

Hi all,  well I have had a busy week.  My parents have been here to help us put in a sprinkler system YAY!!  I am so grateful for their help.  While they were here I taught my mom how to use her cricut.  She is excited to go home now and complete some really cute projects.  I can't wait to see them. 

Here is a card I did while they were here.  It is a graduation card for one of the young women who I have coached in the past.  She is such a cute girl.  I made the card with our school colors.

All the paper is just simple cardstock.  I used my cuttlebug on the red paper and I cut the graduation cap from the Locker Talk cart.  The ribbon is some that I had and I used silver stickles on the tassel.  I also inked the edges of the cap with some black ink from Stampin' Up. 

Simple and Sweet!  Hope you like it,  Let me know!
