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!!!

Hi there Bloggie Friends! OMG!! It has been such a busy time for me the past couple of weeks, with school starting back up and me needing to get out of my "It's Summer" mode! Let me just tell you it's been quite the challenge! I will be back later this weekend to post some pics of my classroom and some projects that I did over the summer. But before I leave, I just have to share some EXCITING news!!! I'm one of the new DT members for Create Your Classroom!!! I'm so ecstatic!!! I cannot wait for everyone to see the stamps that Wendy has created! They are absolutely wonderful and I know that all crafters, whether they are teachers or not, will be able to use the stamps in some capacity!!!

It's Back to Work I Go

Hi everyone, I told you I would be back here more frequently now!! LOL! I started back to work today after having been off all summer. I love being able to get back and see how all of my co-workers are doing and have spent their summer. It always seems like we haven't been gone for too long. It was a busy day full of meetings and then I did have some time to work in my classroom, which is a BIG work in progress. I will post pictures after I have everything set up. I just wanted to share a card that I made for my mister for his birthday back in June. It was only my my 3rd time working with a digi stamp, which I have really grown to love lately as my Cricut machines have been giving me some issues occasionally. The image is called Handy Harry from Digital Delights by Louby Loo.  I have gotten a lot of the digital images that I've worked with from this site and I just LOVE them, they fit my personality and crafting style so well! This sentiment is from the K. Andrew Designs set called Guy Talk. I used my Crayola colored pencils to color this adorable guy in! (at the time I did not have any Promarkers yet!) The paper is from my stash, I can't remember which stack I used but I do know that it DCWV. This is the inside of the card. These sentiments are also from K. Andrew Designs. Well, thanks for taking a moment to stop by my blog! It's another day of meetings and classroom prep for me tomorrow! I look forward to sharing some classroom pics with you next week. I'll be back this weekend to share some decorations that I put together for my cousin's wedding in July! 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!!!
