Class Rules - Teacher Gift

Happy Tuesday everyone!  It's linky party day over at Pause Dream Enjoy.  Today, Janis challenged us to make an ANYTHING GOES project!!  Here is what I created:




This is the first time I have made a project like this.  I was pretty nervous, but I'm pretty happy with the results!  It was far from perfect and I needed to touch things up, but it went much better than I feared!  I used the Paint - Vinyl - Paint- Peel method.  It's a great way to put my old tole painting supplies to work!  I typed her teacher's name along the side, and got the "rules" at the Silhouette Store # 63674.  

The challenge starts today and ends next week.  Please hop over to Pause Dream Enjoy, see what the rest of the Design Divas created, and play along with us.  I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Happy Freezin Season

Hi everyone, it's my day to share a project over at Craftin Desert Divas.  I have a super cute tag set to share with you today.  Of course, I used Tara's amazing stamp sets to create my project!  Here it is:



Isn't it cute?!?  I just LOVED the sentiment and thought the penguin was the perfect choice for it.  I have been trying to use my Cricut a bit more, since it has been sitting in my craft room gathering dust since I got my Silhouette.  This penguin is from Create a Critter 2.  His cutie face is from PK Stamps.  My Silhouette came in handy too, because the tag shape is an SVG from Craftin Desert Divas!  It was free with purchase of the Tag It stamp set.  Here is a pic of all those cute penguins together:



Below is a close up of the sentiment, so you can see how perfect the font is.



I used the "November Freebie" stamp set to for the sentiment, and the "Tag It" set for the tag base.  You can buy your own in the Craftin Desert Divas Shop HERE.



Be sure to stop by Craftin Desert Divas everyday.  There is always something going on, from Linky Parties, to Blog Hops, from Stamp Releases to Inspiration!  See you there :)

Christmas Planner

Happy Monday everyone!  We are mid-way through the Linky Party over at Craftin Desert Divas and it is Team B's Day to inspire you.  Tara challenged us to create a CHRISTMAS project.  Here is what I created:



I love having a Christmas Planner that I can toss in my purse.  It helps me stay organized and I can write down ideas as they occur to me.  The folder is from the Silhouette Store # 65737.  The paper is all from an old CTMH paper pack.  The ribbon is from my LSS.  I used a SU punch to create the scallop circle that I stamped the December 25 on.



This is the inside of the folder.  I stamped a sentiment from Simply Christmas on each of the pages that I am going to use to jot things down.




The sentiment is from Simply Christmas.  You can buy your own at the Craftin Desert Divas Store.



I hope you all come play with us!  There is still one week left to link up.  We have 2 amazing prizes for this Linky Party:

Aren't they cute?  I used the "Snowman Kisses" set.  These are little bags that I made for the kids.  We do an Advent Activity Calendar, and one day the activity is to wear Christmas socks.  I pick up cute socks and then I am going to pop them in these adorable bags!  The kids will find them on the table, the day that we are supposed to wear the socks.  I bought the bags at the Silhouette store - design # 36675.  The paper is a mix of Recollection, DCWV and CTMH.  I stamped the cutie sentiment on the SU tag punch.

I made a second project for the hop today, it uses "Tag It" and "November Freebie":


As soon as I saw the November Freebie, I knew I had to have it!!  The Hand Santa-tizer sentiment is AWESOME! I found the file at the Silhouette Store #69170.  It was SO easy to put together.  I used the free SVGs to cut out the tag and then stamped the flagged tag from "Tag It".  Isn't it cute??


Here is a side view of the sanitizer holder.  I popped a little sanitizer in it, but it holds one of the bigger Purell containers - I will have to pick some up.  I think I may add this to the list of teacher gifts.  I think they might really like this :)

So hop, hop, hop on over to the TCBJ Facebook Page.

Come join us on Facebook, at the CDD Gallery - We'd love you to share your projects using the CDD stamps.
