February 3, 2012 Teacher Appreciation Cards

Wow! Two posts in one day....whew!
I had a layout in my head and really wanted to create it.
Ever been there? I saw a post on a blog a while back....I want to say Inking Idaho....but can't remember.
Anywho....they used (thin) corkboard as an embellishment. I used a Spellbinders die my friend sent me for my birthday today.....with corkboard I found at Michael's last year. I was surprised how well the Spellbinders cut through it. There is just way too much fun to be had with the Cuttlebug. lol

Here is what I used:
die: Spellbinders apple
cardstock: DCWV
cardstock: (plain) Recollections
card: Recollections
heart button: Michael's

Thanks for dropping by and have a great weekend!!!!:0)

May 23, 2012 It's Summer (Summer Wreath .... minus the apostrophe.....)lol

Good afternoon everyone. I am not sure why...but this project took me a really long time. I need to put my little apostrophe in my wreath too.....ooops! Ok....here is what I used to create the wreath..... I purchased a large foam ring at Michael's, as well as some pretty light blue yarn. I covered the ring of foam in yarn, that took a long time. I started in the inside of the wreath so you wouldn't see the glue as much. I used a hot glue gun. I used the "Life's a Beach" cartridge for everything BUT the wording ... The letters are from Base Camp. I didn't see an apostrophe...but there was quotation marks. I need to still add that. That is my go to cartridge for letters. Hope you like my project. Have a great day!:0)

November 5, 2011 Rosette Turkey

Good afternoon everyone!!! I made a rosette this morning. I was wanting to make some sort of Thanksgivng decoration for my son's teacher and this is what I came up with. I found the directions for the rosette here: http://mrsbscraftroom.blogspot.com/ Go check out here blog if you haven't been there before. She made a beautiful pumpkin rosette.:0) AND she made a video to show you how to make it.;0) I followed the instructions she had and made the brown rosette. I added an extra rosette on the top, I believe it was 2 1/2 x 12 (2 pieces). What I added: 3 strips of 4 x 12 scored at 1/2 inch intervals. I made a 1/2 rosette. At the bottom (to hold it together) is about a 2x12 strip of the same cardstock glued to the rosette. The cartridge I used was Create a Critter. The cardstock I used was: rosette and turkey (Recollections) and the rest was (old) SU. Let me know if you have any questions. Have a great weekend!!!:0)

Good evening everyone! I found some super cute brown envelopes a few weeks back at Archiver's. It was $2.99 for 12 envelopes (4 x 3.75 in).

I cut a piece of patterned paper at 1 1/2 x 3 3/4 for the front of the card. The patterned cardst
