PreSchool Teacher Gifts and Class Treats 2012

So like usual I waiting until the last minute for school treats for the kids...needless to say I have been busy but still should have planned ahead more!

My youngest only has 6 kids in her class (thank goodness) so I had to hurry to get them done the last day of class before break which was very early for her school for some reason.  I used a digital print from Paper Crafting World for the cute girl elf.  I wish I had time to individually cut them out but did not, I also wish I had a machine that cut SVG's but I don't :(  So this was the best I could do in a hurry.  The Elf Girl is so cute and reminds of my Mady Moo which is why I used her :)

I also needed something quick for the teachers.  I had some Christmas themed magnetic notepads from last year and I had picked up some GIANT pens from the dollar store so I knew those would work.  I just love how easy these were and how cute they turned out.  I used the directions for the paper pad "cover" from here.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope everyone has a craft day!

CWC Weekly Challenge # 72-Grown-Up Valentines-Must use black and a brad!

Hello and welcome back for another CWC Weekly Challenge.  This weeks theme is a grown-up Valentine and you must use the color black and a brad.

So I have to admin I forgot about the brad but found the perfect place for it at the end of making my card.  I will giving this card to my hubby along with some cupcakes and beer (his favorite :)).

Here is my card:

The lighting is off for some reason but the paper is pink, dark/bright pink

I cut the black heart from Lyrical Letters, then I used some $1 stamps from AC Moore for the big white heart made of little hearts (I used a white ink pad and then sprinkled a little bit of embossing powder on it) and for the sentiments (did the same thing with them).  They are hard to see in the picture but you can see them in person.  I added a small piece of solid string to make a tiny little bow above the heart.

The cute cupcake bear is from Paper Crafting World and can be found for purchase here, I added the brad to the bow, I printed two prints and cut out the cherry, put some glossy accents on it then attached it with a pop dot, I also lightly added some purple stickles to the wrapper part of the cupcake and some pink stickles to the icing.

Thanks for stopping by this week, make sure you stop by Cooking with Cricut and see what all of the wonderful designers have created this week.

Cooking with Cricut Weekly Challenge: Scarecrows, Hay, Crows and Sketches

Hello everyone. Today is Scarecrow, Hay, Crows AND Sketches Challenge Day over at Cooking with Cricut! For this weeks challenge I  used a scarecrow (scaregirl) and the card sketch to make a card for my friend who always calls everyone pumpkin!  We do not get to talk much except via social media from time to time so I wanted to send her a card and I thought this was the perfect time to do it!

Here is the sketch:

Here is my card:

I used the Scarecrow Girl on Pumpkin Digital Stamp from http://www.papercraftingworld.com/, then I cut out a pumpkin from Create a Critter, gave him a cute Peachy Keen face and added a cute blingy vine from Recollections glitter tape.  The sentiment is from the Pink by Design Guess Who stamp set (seriously I have gotten my monies worth out of that set)!  I cut some patterned paper, some purple paper, put it on black cardstock, inked some edges and it came together!  I know she will love the card.

Now it's your turn! I hope you will head on over to Cooking with Cricut to enter your project! TFL.


Have a crafty day!
