Welcome to Graduation week.......Day One

Good Morning Blogging friends!!  This past Saturday Kel had a graduation party for her daughter. Well you all know how crafting minds think, we all went into overdrive and had great fun with banners, decorations, cards and even a present!! We will showcase our work all week.  Hope you enjoy it!!!  Also, if you comment everyday you will be eligible for a fun little prize!!!

Here is the present (and bag it went in) I made for Kelly's daughter. She loves, loves owls.

I started out with a plain white frame from Michael's in the clearance section for $4.99 plus a 25% off coupon. Plus the plain white bag.  Kel told me Amanda's room was teal and zebra, so I went with the teal.

I used the following:

Quick Quotes Powder Puff Chalking Ink, Blue Hawaiian to ink up the white frame and the owl.
Create a Critter for the Owl and all her cute little parts cut at 5" the branch was cut at 2.50".
WR Memory Keepers White Out Collection - the polka dot paper
Twine was free, yes free!!! I order some other colors from Anniespaperboutique.com and they threw in the teal and white twine with my order.  It worked so perfect!!
Locker Talk Cartridge for the Graduation cap, cut at 3.25"
Letters and numbers came from Don Juan cut at 3"
Cuttlebug Forest Branch folder for the owl and the branch.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to stop by and comment each day this week to be eligible for a fun prize.

RAK - Day 4

Woohoo - It's Friday!  My favorite day of the week!!  Here is my last card that I made from Kel's RAK card.  This card was for my son't teacher.  He LOVES sharks, so my son asked me to make  shark card.  I put my thinking cap on and came up with this card.

Life a Beach Cartridge for the Shark and Shark border
Locker Talk for the Graduation Cap
Kraft paper
DCWV Tahiti Stack for the patterned paper

Andrew said his teacher loved the card!!  Have a fantastic weekend!!!

1st Day of School - The bus stop

Hello again!!! I did this page of my boys getting on the bus on the first day of school. Technically it was the second day, but for page purposes I am going with the 1st day.

The little pendants are again from Jenny B. She is my favorite lately.

The pencil paper and the other papers are all from my stash. I really need to start using more of my stash.

The arrow and the bus stop sign are from Locker Talk Cartridge.

My scrapbooking has been all over the place lately. I have just been scrapping pages I feel like doing!!

I hope everyone has a great weekend and gets some scrapping in!!

Teacher Gift

Dawn and I saw this adorable idea on the Everyday Cricut blog, and thought we can do that. It is a tissue box for the teachers desk with four empty sides. Dawn of course, being Goggle girl, found a place where we could find the tissue boxes, Hobby Lobby. Since we don't have a Hobby Lobby near us we had to order online. So here is my take on it. I mostly used the Locker Talk cartridge, love, love this cartridge. Here are a few sides, that I did and a view the side.

I am not sure if Dawn was able to do hers, as she had a crazy weekend, but if I know her like I do, she finished them (she had to do 3) and stayed up half the night to get them done. If she did do hers, I will post them as well.

Kel is off to see Taylor Swift tonight with her daughter. I hope they are having a great time. The weather is perfect.

We are so excited because tomorrow is our last day of school. Yay summer!!!!!!!!

Teacher Thank You Card

Good Monday Morning everyone! Sorry for the delay in posts. Things are crazy around here, with the end of school stuff, sports and oh ya, my Dad took a fall off a ladder over the weekend! My family and ladders just don't mix!! He had surgery on his ankle yesterday and is feeling pretty good. He is still in the hospital. Not sure when they will spring him.
Kel is busy unpacking, therefore she has been MIA. Although not happily as she hasn't been able to craft. Hopefully soon she will be up and running again.

Here is a thank you card I did for my Son's teacher. I have to say I was re-introduced to this cartridge by our good friend Kate over at http://smallbitsofpaper.blogspot.com/. She won the Locker Talk Cartridge from us and then made us a thank you card with it. The card had the piece of notebook paper on it and I fell in love. I thought perfect for a Teacher's Thank you card. I used my markers first to draw the image and then cut it out. I love using the markers on the cricut and I always forget about them.

The notebook paper is found on Page 65 and the cute little paperclip is on 41. I cut the paper at 4" and the paperclip @ 1". I love the idea of the paperclip, because it isn't bulky and doesn't weigh the card down. The cuttlebug folder I used was Tim Holtz, alterations. The Thank You stamp is from StampingUP!
