 Here is my little project for you....

I was asked by one of my daughters teachers if I could make something for her to hand out to the students on the Meet and Greet Night at school... so I thought this would be perfect for her class...

I used the Envelope Punch Board to create the holder and Cut a scallop circle and did a print and cut with my cricut explore to do the tag on the front... I put a fun size candy inside with a pencil... 

I did the 5x5 envelope.. This took no time to make and they were fun... and all the parents and students loved them...

You can make these up for any Holiday, Party or event that you want they are fun and fast to make... 

I hope you enjoyed my cute "Back To School" project...

Back to School Photo Frame Prop

Hello Everyone! 

I am just finishing up some projects for my daughters for when school goes back next week.... 

As every parent we take lots and lots of pictures on the first day of school... but this year I wanted to do something a bit different then we normally do and I love doing fun photos with the girls. 

I decided to create a Photo Prop Frame... 

I used my Cricut Explore and just typed in school and it came up with a bunch of different things you could use...

I used a white foam board and sprayed painted it blue and let it dry for a couple of hours before working with it.... 

Foam board was 30" tall, so we cut it in half and  for the center we left a 3" border around it.

The "Grade Part" is put on with Velcro so I can change it out for each one of my daughters... 

Both of my daughters help me design this for them for First Day of School..

Sorry about the mess behind the scenes, but this is what happens when you have a creative mind and just go with the flow.... 

My daughters love to be in the craft room with me and help me. 

I have been teaching them how to use my machines and use their creativity to make things... 

Each one has their own style and I love that about them..

Well I hope you enjoyed todays project and stop back again soon... 

Happy Crafting!

Teacher Goody Bags

I wanted to make something to go along with the Back Packs that I made for my daughters teachers this year ...
These turned out so adorable...

Here is how I made these: 

Cut base at 4x4

fold in half

Cut mat at 1 3/4" x 3 3/4" 

Cricut Cartridge Recess - Cut apple at 2" High ( I used my Cricut Explore) 

Tag Cartridge Used - Art Philopshy cut Tag at 1" high, I typed the words and used the print and cut feature to create the saying

The wraps for the Hershey Nuggets are cut at 1" x 3" and then I just used my tape runner to add the cardstock to the candies... 

These went to together so quick... 

What a great way to tell a your favorite teachers "Thank You" ...

Well I hope you enjoyed my little project for today...

Have a wonderful and safe weekend.... 

Teacher Gifts for End of School Year

Hard to believe that in couple weeks School will be out 

for the Summer... 

This year seems to have flown by. 

Both my Daughters will be leaving their current schools and go up to the next level schools... 

My youngest is leaving the elementary and going to the middle and my other daughter is leaving the middle school and going to junior high... 

I still can't believe how much they both have grown... 

I wanted to to make special gifts for each one of their teacher and they principles this year that they will be leaving.. 

I had this adorable Back Pack from SVG Cuts and thought this is just perfect for this project and gift to them.. .

I am going to put stickers, note cards and candy in each one for the teachers.. 

For the principles I am going to put note cards and a mini album in for them.. .

These went together fast and they were fun to make... I love them both .. 

So make sure you stop by SVGcuts.com and check out the Back to the Books SVG Kit.. and all the other wonderful kits she has to offer..
