Back to School Teacher Gift

 

 I like to start the school year off with a cute gift for my colleagues and our children's teachers.  This year I was inspired by Stacy at She's Kinda Crafty.  She made similar tags to the one I made above  and put them onto a portable scent holder from Bath and Body Works. 

 

 

Today while shopping for a birthday gift, I saw these really great smelling apple shaped tarts.  I bought 2 for each of the teachers and put them in a cello bag, tied it with red ribbon and added one of the tags I made using the Cricut.

 



 

The finished product!

Luau Birthday Banner

 Today I made a Luau themed birthday banner for our upcoming party.  I used the Surf's Up Paper Pad by Recollections and Cricut Cartridges Jasmine and George.  The background is set at 4, the pink was cut at 3, and the letters were done in 3 with the shadow setting. 

I added a small flower from the George cartridge set on 1, and gave each a rhinestone center.  The birthday girl is pleased.

Give Thanks Calendar

The idea for this Give Thanks Calendar was posted at Comfy in the Kitchen. I followed the instructions in the post. I used a yard of burlap, 10 pieces of felt in 5 colors, and 3 packs of presto felt. To create my numbers, I made tracers using my cricut. Each night at dinner we'll each take a turn sharing what we are thankful for that day. Then we'll write them on the slip of paper inside each day. I'm planning on keeping the slips so we can look back at them in the coming years. Thank you for stopping by!

Easter Card Exchange

I pulled the Cricut out of storage today to work on a few cards for the Easter card exchange with the gals at MHH. I like the green ones the best. I'm now off to address and mail them!

Peace and Blessings,

LOVE Mini Banner

I have a small shelf in my kitchen that needed something hanging from the pegs on it, so I made this mini "love" banner. It's about 2 1/2 inches in width and 10 inches long. Of course, I used the cricut! I used the George and Jasmine cartridges. I chose love in honor of Valentine's Day.

Thanks for stopping by today!


Blessings and peace,

Valentine's Day Tin~Teacher Gift

This is my first tin for Valentine's Day. I made it using Recollections Basics Scrapbook Paper, Bazzil Cardstock in red and my Cricut. I used the George and Basic Shapes Cartridge and the Jasmine cartridge for the font.

This is the top of the tin, which we'll fill with Hershey's Kisses for the kids' teachers. I am probably going to add some red ribbon to the tin above the heart....just don't have any red ribbon at home.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,

Dream Banner

This is my banner using my word for 2010. I made it using my cricut and the cartridge that was included with it. I'm pretty proud of the way it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by!

My First Birthday Card with the Cricut

Just wanted to share my first card I created using my new Cricut machine. I love it and it will definitely save me money and time when I'm scrapbooking, making cards and doing displays at school. I used paper from a scrapbook pad by Making Memories in eliza.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,
