I Love My Teacher!

Hello there Crafty Friends!!! Long time, no see!! I know!! I just have been focusing a lot on my family and my students these past few months, so crafting has not been high on my list of priorities. I probably could/should do more of it to get my mind off of things, but I've been using exercise for that . So this year I will post as I create things and we will see where that takes me. I was able to get a little bit of my crafting mojo back this week to make a super fun card that can be given to a teacher of any sort for Valentines Day or to simply let them know that you love them!  Isn't this just the cutest card! All of the paper used came from my scraps!  I used my Letraset ProMarkers to color in this image. The sentiment is from the Create Your Classroom: Back to School Set. Bet you didn't know that you could use a Back to School set for a Valentines Day creation did you?!? The adorable Heart Gumball Machine was a freebie that I found over at Little Scraps of Heaven. For a little bit of added bling I used some of the Martha Stewart glitter that I had. I also used some Glossy Accents on the glass portion of the gumball machine.  I had a lot of fun creating this card. It felt really good to make it! I hope you enjoyed what you saw today! I would love to hear your thoughts! Be sure to stop by my other CYC DT Sister's pages to see what they were able to create using the CYC: Back to School Set.  Until Next Time...

Create Your Classroom Back To School Release!

Happy Friday Everyone!!! It has been one VERY LONG week for me!! Such a busy week, with a new student, early dismissals, professional development, you name it! All while still helping my students really get into the routine of being in 1st grade!!! I'm finally able to share the entire project that I sneak peeked for you last week!!! My crafty pal Wendy of Create Your Classroom is releasing her very FIRST stamp set!!! I'm SOOOO excited for her!!! These stamps are SOOOO AWESOME!!! They are very versatile and just all out fun to play with!!! As my first project for the Design Team, I decided to make a bookmark!!! I just love the way it turned out!!! I have it sitting on my desk at work, just so I can admire it and remember to smile and enjoy the moments as I help my students become better readers!!   I used a pre-cut bookmark made by Recollections. The blue background is from a DCWV adhesive paper pack. The polka dotted papers are all from my scrap stash. The ribbon is also from my scrap stash. Here are some close ups of each section of the bookmark.   I colored this adorable guy in with my Promarkers! He was SO much fun to color in!   All of the scalloped pieces are pop-dotted to add some dimension and fun!     So there you have it!!! My first official project as a Create Your Classroom Design Team Member!! I'm so excited to be on this team and I can't wait for you to see all of the fun things that the team creates! So without further adieu head on over to the  Create Your Classroom store so you can get your hands on this adorable set!!!! Until Next Time.... Big Crafty Butterfly Hugs!!!

I'm BACK!!!...FINALLY

My oh my!!! It's been a LONG time since I've blogged! I had to take a hiatus from crafting and blogging because I just wasn't feeling it! I feel like that happened a few times over the past year, and I'm not sure why. Don't know if it's something that all crafters go through or just me. Nonetheless, I'm back and plan to do my best to blog at least once or twice or maybe even three times a week!!! Although I was on a sort of hiatus, I did create a few things here and there over the past few months. I decided that for my first official post back, I would share a super cute and fun card that I created this past weekend. Isn't this just adorable!!! All of the paper used was from my scraps! The tree and all of the images are from Stamps By Judith. The tree is called the Tree for All Seasons and I then used the Butterfly, Cupcake, and Star Stubbs that can be purchased separately. The images were all colored using my Letraset Promarkers, which I LOVE!!! (I'll blog about those another day!) Here is the inside of the cards All of the sentiments are from the following K. Andrew Designs Stamps: Splashtastic Summer, Winged Things, Coffee & Tea for You & Me I'm not sure if you can tell, but I added some Stickles to all of the images for a little bit of bling! And there you have it! Hope you like it! I am also using this for the Create Your Classroom Design Team Call! Thanks for taking time to stop by and check out my creations! I promise to not take another hiatus for a long time!!! Until Next Time... Big Crafty Butterfly Hugs!!!
