Sunny Thoughts for You!

I am really enjoying all the time that I have had to craft this week! It has really been a great way for me to clear my mind of all thoughts!  I was so happy this afternoon when I went to my mailbox because my order from K. Andrews from Getting Cricky was in there!!!!! YAY!!! I just love her blog and I’ve wanted to get her stamps since they first came out. I finally was able to get my hands on a couple of sets and hopefully the others in the future.

Since I just HAD to make SOMETHING with the stamps today, I decided to make a card that I will be entering into 3 challenges.
Wacky Wednesday #44- Fun in the Sun 

Peachy Keen Stamps Sketch Challenge #56

Cooking with Cricut: Challenge #42- Pen or Marker Work or Sun ( I went with the sun because I don’t have pens or markers for my Cricut yet)

I just LOVE working with bright colors! They tend to brighten up my thoughts as well

Sentiment is from K.Andrews Designs Splash-tastic Summer set.

Sun is cut from Create a Critter. I stamped that cute little face on the sun from PKS- Wide Eye Kids set. Flower is from DCWV Animal Crackers sticker embellishments

Background layer is embossed with Cuttlebug- Tiny Bubbles folder

So glad that you stopped by yet again to see my creations! I love reading your comments. They continue to inspire and motivate me to craft!

Until Next Time….

Hall Passes and More

As most of you already know I'm a 1st grade teacher and that was my whole reason for investing in a Cricut almost 2 years ago. Each year at our school we have a certain theme and this year's theme is Together We Can Reach for the Stars. We are able to interpret the slogan anyway that we would like and since I wanted to have a Hollywood/Movie Star theme in my room, this is why when I refer to the stars, I am referrig to the fact that my students are the "Stars", i.e. movie stars! I just love it and so do my kids, we have movie themed stuff all over our classroom. I say all of this to say that, each year I also make my hall passes that the students take with them when they head out to the restroom. This year I made some pretty awesome passes out of cereal boxes and paper and I laminated them, but over the months they started to fall apart. So since I was on spring break last week, I finally had the opportunity to sit down and make new passes.

These were the original passes

These are the new hall passes which I LOVE!!! My kids were so excited about them!

I bought wooden doorhangers from Michaels a while ago and then I just used some Mod Podge to cover them in some fun papers that I had.

They look really awesome in person and most importantly my kids thought that they looked great!!

I also made this cute card for a former student who LOVES Hello Kitty

Sentiment is from Emma's Just a Note to Say set

This was a tough kitty to assemble at times, but she turned out very cute

This inside sentiment is also from Emma's Just a Note to Say

The card and the envelope
