Teacher Appreciation – Day #3

Here is the last of my goodies for the teachers.  The biggest thing we all think of when we think of summer is S’Mores!  I found an adorable sentiment in one of Mr. Don’s PTO magazines and ran with it!

So the sentiment says “We appreciate you S’More and S’More each day!” 

Love that!  Nice simple finale to my spread of gifts.  Yes the Modern Label punch was used to punch the sentiment!  I thought it made a classy design to something so rustic and fun!  I can’t wait for the summer!!

These little packets were so cute, I made up a few of them for the women at work!  So simple you can make them to help lift the spirits of anyone’s day!!

Have a Magical Day!

Teacher’s Appreciation – Day #2

So Day #2 for the Teachers is a spin on their request for pencils.

I’m going to give each classroom a pack of pencils like they asked in a basket of goodies.   I really wanted to wrap them in Washi tape to spruce them up, but I heard the teachers were going to give them away to the students so I couldn’t do that.  So along with the pencils, everyone will be getting these adorable Rolo Pencils!

Here they are! 

4 Rolos and 1 Hershey Kiss wrapped up in goodness.  The Sentiment reads, “Pencils are #2 because Teachers are #1!”

What Teacher’s not going to love that!  Super easy to make.  I tried to keep all the paper in primary colors to make them stand out.  I love how cute these pencils are!

Come back tomorrow and I’ll show you what they’re going to get on Wednesday!

Have a Magical Day!

Teacher Appreciation – Day #1

I have a tremendous amount of respect for teachers!  They have to deal with those crazy people for 6 hours 5 times a week no matter what is going on in their lives!  Trust me those people aren’t always the nicest to deal with!  Love my kids!  I really do, but I wouldn’t trade places with teachers in a heartbeat!

So this coming week is Teacher Appreciation week (we delay it due to state testing) and I do the goodies for the entire staff at our girls’ Middle School – all 63 of them!  So I scoured Pinterest (if you’re not on there – GET ON THERE! Friend ME!) and found some really cool things.  I begged the PTO President (Mr. Don) for a budget and threw out ideas to the PTO.  The teachers asked for 3 things – pencils, hand sanitizer and tissues.  Not really inspirational.  So here’s the first of many things that I found!

Day #1 I thought we’d start simple with what else FISH – Swedish Fish!

I found this adorable saying on – where else – Pinterest that says, “You’re O-FISH-Ally the Best Teacher!”  

 

I thought it was corny, but so super cute!  We bagged the fish and used a scallop and circle punch for the sentiment.  Can I just say how much I love Glue Dots!  We used almost 2 boxes of them this year!  I hope they like them!

Have a Magical Day!

Freshly Made Sketches #85

Today I felt like doing a challenge!  So I skipped over to Freshly Made Sketches and saw this awesome sketch and felt inspired.

 

When I saw this sketch I thought what would it look like if I turned it slightly?  So that’s what I did.

 

Paper flowers are all the rage right now I so I pulled out the Print Poetry DSP, found this Midnight Muse paisley and used the Modern Blossom punch.  I sprayed it with Champagne Mist spritz and then crinkled it up, put it on top of another Modern Blossom punch and tada – lovely flower.  I embossed some Crumb Cake with a Chevron Sizzix folder.  The tags are Cherry Cobbler and White paper and the sentiment is from the Happiest Birthday stamp set.

I love how this card came out!  So much happiness!  Have a Magical Day!

Something Special

While looking thru the  Splitcoaster Stampin Up Gallery I found this card that I HAD to CASE.

 Such bright colors and happy thoughts I knew I had to make it!

The original card was made by Lisa Martz and here’s my interpretation of it:

I really like the look of this card.  There’s so many things going on with this card.

 I used the En Francois, Kindness Matters and the Serene Silhouettes stamp sets.  I used Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral and a little Old Olive.

I think this card is really special and now I have to figure out who I’m going to send it to.  This year I have a goal to send my cards instead of hoarding them in my special card box! LOL!  I hope this card inspires you!

Have a Magical Day!

Sending Mickey Love

My poor Nephew just had tubes put in his ears.  Which he did wonderfully!  So I thought I would send him a get well card with one of his favorite friends on it!  At Easter he was singing “Hot Dog, Hot Dog.  Hot Diggidy Dog” from the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show!

Isn’t it cute!

Using Cricut Cartridge Mickey & Friends, I cut Mickey at 3″ and the icon Mickey hand at 2″.

The sentiment is from the Delightful Dozen – one of my most used stamp sets and one that’s not being retired in the new 2013 catalogue.

I love Mickey and I think he’s going to think Mickey has sent this special Get Well card to him!

Hope it gives you all a little Magic in your day!

Girl Scouts in action

My troop has been interested in doing more sewing after we made those heart purposes last year.  So this year we thought we’d take the Joann’s Fabric embroidery class.  So here’s the girls getting their instructions

Our instructor Ninna was awesome!  Here’s one of the girls starting her basic embroidery stitch.

She taught us 4 stitches – Daisy stitch, French knot,  and 2 other stitches that I can’t remember.

As you can see we took up the entire Joann’s training area!

Here’s Ms. J showing her wonderful embroidery. 

    

So here’s what our final project was suppose to loo like.

Let’s just say ours didn’t look like this, but it didn’t matter because the girls had an amazing night!

I hope this gives you some inspiration to try a Joann’s class for embroidery!

Have a Magical Day!
