Good morning!
Wow,  it has been way too long since I have posted on my blog. 
I have been volunteering at my son and daughter's school a lot this school year.
Most of the projects I have worked on are bulletin board/craft related. I will try and post some of the bulletin boards I worked on in another post.

Today, however, I am posting a more recent project I just finished. I like adding some craftiness to plain notebooks using Cricut shapes and creating pockets for the notebook. 
On this project I used purple vinyl and created the word: Create.
The inside of the journal has four pockets. I used the Cinch and Kraft scrapbook paper, as well as Create a Critter cartridge for the animals on each pocket. 
On the crab and whale pocket I used an EK paper punch to create the waves, I then had sewn the waves to the cardstock. With the crab and fox pocket I used another EK paper punch to create the grass, I also had sewn the grass to the pocket. 
Happy Fun Friday everyone!

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)

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).

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)
