Soon To Be Banner

Hello to all of my wonderfully crafty friends!

I would first like to say WELCOME to all of my new followers! I'm almost at 100 followers and I can't believe it! If I reach 100 followers, I think I'm going to try to have some sort of blog candy, so stay tuned in! I've only been blogging for a few months, and it is amazing all of the talent I have seen and there are so many people who have inspired me to continue to want to be crafty...so to each of you I say THANK YOU!

Things are still pretty busy for me, but I am happy to announce that i am less than 3 weeks away from being done with my Master's program!!! I am so excited and cannot wait to be done so that I can have LOTS more time to craft and blog! :)

A few weeks ago my intern, who loved the banner I made for her, asked me if I would make a banner for a friend of hers who is getting married in the near future. I was very happy to do it for her. I was pretty happy with how it turned out and I am always looking for ways to improve and make things better.

Just wanted to share. Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks again for stopping by! I enjoy reading ALL of your comments! Thanks for being such an inspiration to me! Until next time...

It's been a LONG time...

Oh me oh my...it has been a VERY LONG time since I've had  the chance to post anything. Things have gotten so busy for me lately that I barely have time to sit down and take a breath. Although I haven't had a chance to share some of my creations when I made, I have made a few things in the past couple of weeks.

This year I was able to fulfill one of my goals of becoming a mentor teacher to an aspiring teacher. I have to say this was a very rewarding and reflective opportunity for me, especially since I'm only in my 3rd year of teaching and to know that my principal thought that I was a good candidate to offer this wonderful experience to a student teacher from Towson University.

My student teacher was amazing and I definitely learned a lot from her and I hope that she took a lot of positive and helpful things away from her experience with me. Her last day with my 1st graders and I was on March 4th and what better way to show our appreciation for her than to have a celebration of thanks. I wanted to make sure that she had things that she would be able to use when she gets her own classroom so we collected items for a gift basket and I made her a set of 10 Thank You cards to have on hand. I also made a special card and banner to let her know that we would miss her and just how much she meant to us.

I was so happy with how these cards turned out and they were very simple to put together.

Is this not the cutest card?!?

It was missing something so I decided to finally open up my I-rock and put it to use. I was so happy with the end result

The gift basket filled with goodies

My very first banner. I would have liked to have done a little more with it, but I kind of waited to the last minute to get it done. I was very pleased with how simple yet cute it was

Cute tote with all of the kids handprints and signatures

Thanks for stopping by. I love and appreciate all of your comments. Things are beginning to slow down for me so hopefully I will be able to start crafting much more.

Until next time....

Sweet Baby Wishes

So it has been a pretty crazy week so far and I must admit that my Cricut has definitely helped to calm me down! :)

I made this card for a co-worker whose baby is due very soon! I'm very happy with the way it turned out! I still have a lot more crafting I would like to do but it looks like the rest of it won't get done until the weekend!

I am very happy with the way the little cute baby turned out! I used Peachy Keen's Everyday Character Face Assortment

The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Everyday Life Set

I'm not so happy with what I did with this part of the card...but I guess it's ok it was made with the Simply Sweet Cartridge.

Another glimpse at the completed card!

Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to leave comments! I'd love to get some feedback on things I could work on!
