Another teacher gift FOR SALE

For this gift I was in quite the hurry so I didn't get good pictures of this one. One of my moms friends sow the last one I just made and wanted to try selling them in her shop.

I used Longing Tilda from Fairytale 2010 and Books w/Wrappers from Spring Summer 2008. This canister had a little defect in the seal so I added some lace around the seal to cover it, up worked out pretty good. I also added these cute little crayon stamped images from American Art Stamp LAD-341 Lizzie Anne and the sentiment is from Create with TLC a Friday Freebie, its just soo cute and I had to use it here.

Teachers put in so much hard work to help children be so successful in today's schools and get very little in return, so any good teacher plants the seeds to grow great knowledge in these kids today.

 

For this side I used Catslife Press stamp no. 462D and Magnolia Bride Bow Doohickeys. This project was so fun to make I enjoy using some of my new stamps that I received this month from eBay and Catslife.

 

Hope you enjoyed maybe left an impression feel free to leave me a comment I enjoy reading them. Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies:

Copics: E00, E02, E11, E31, E37, E50, Y21, Y26, BG02, BG05, R00, RV11 also used Prisma Color Peach and Micron Pigma 05 Black pin

Distress inks were also used along with Stampin Up inks.

End of the School Year Teacher Gifts

It's so close to the end of the year and I really didn't do a lot for my daughters teachers this year. Mainly because it's kind of hard with a baby, but I have an awesome husband that I'm so grateful for his new job. We get to see him so much more now then before, he practically missed out on the first year of our second daughter life. So on to this gift I made for my daughter math teacher, I used some recycled items that I had around the house, a Gerber Learn to Pick Up Snack tin 1.48oz (42g) and 3 TP rolls they are the perfect height no cutting needed. I also used Magnolia Autumn Tilda with Pencils from the Turning Leaves 2012 collection. I just feel in love with this paper I bought at Hobby Lobby from Kirby Teesdale Studio pack just sooo many beautiful papers. I then distressed the edges with pumice stone.

I used my adobe software and created the math problems, just printed out these and then used my spellbinders LG Deckled Rectangles to cut them out to look like little flash cards. Then I distressed the cards using antique linen and vintage photo on the edges. I used The Paper Studio Spare Parts Brights and assorted flowers from the stems that I got at Hobby Lobby and took them apart and created new flowers.

For this side I used the digital image from Create with TLC its a beautiful sentiment that I thought would just work so lovely with this project. I stamped the border with Stampabilities Ornate Frame 02 also found this at Hobby Lobby stamped it with ink from Stampin Up! Eggplant Envy beautiful color but if you don't have it you could use distress ink aged mahogany they are very similar in color. I also used archival pins to trace the writing over because when you distress over printed papers and inks they ten to bleed out a little. This is the down fall that I have I encountered when using print outs. The little Owl button is from Sew-Ology found in the sewing department at Hobby Lobby and I just cut out a small yellow beak to add to it. The ruler stamp is stamped with Stampin Up! Chocolate chip from Tim Holtz collection Seamless Experience stampers anonymous. It worked so great with this project, I used the same distressed inks used on the flash cards.

For Tilda I started with a Prisma Color Tuscan Red but I didn't like it to well to me it was just too dark so I then used a brush and water and colored her dress in with distress ink aged mahogany and perfect pearls mist forever red. I used copics for the rest of her. I then cut her out and layered her on a lavender card stack of paper and used 3m tape to give her dimension.

I had so much fun making this project I just loved this new paper I got at the Hobby Lobby this week. It was so fun to make and I am so looking forward to gifting it the last day of school.

Vicky’s Tag

So this weekend my sister in law was talking to her brother Dustin that she had to make a Scrapbook page for her fiancé’s brother’s fiancé’s wedding that she is in. Kind of confusing I know. She does not scrapbook and didn’t think that her page would be that great. So I offered to help and we have been working though e-mails and we have been talking on the phone trying to figure out what we are going to be doing for this page. This is the tag that I made for the page, the picture at this moment is the only thing glued down since Vicky (my sister in law) is in New York and I am in Texas. Thankful Dustin’s mom is going to go to NY this weekend to help Vicky with her wedding plains and take the tag up to Vicky so her and Shawn can write a message to the couple in the picture. Then Dustin’s mom will bring me back what Vicky has up there. In May Vicky has to come in to Austin to help her other friend that is getting marred so we will be going to Austin to give her the page. She has got the main paper for the page and some little NY Stickers. I can’t remember the couples name but the page that I am doing for Vicky is “The Proposal” so it could very well be the first page in her scrapbook that they are put together for the new bride.

Message Board

So this is nothing fantastic but it’s part of the New Years Resolutions to clean up and get organized at work. We are such a mess and customers say they called and the messages are getting misplaced so this was my solution hopefully it was a good one. I used my Cricut Expression to cut out the lettering. I got the cock board on sell at Hobby Lobby for 12.99 and I got a discount on top of that so not bad. I hope this works out really nice for us.

ABC Books

So when I get the chance I have been working on my set of letters for the ABC Books. I still need to complete letters O and P hopefully once the New Year is over things will start to slow back down. These books when they are complete will go to Methodists Children's Hospital Blue Birds Auxiliary for them to donate to New Moms. This Project is open to anyone that would like to help. It would be a great Service project for a Girl Scout troop, or Brownies, or even if you just want to help out a good cause. Please contacted me and I will send you the information needed along with supplies.

ABC Books

Here are some pages that my sister in law made for the ABC books that the Yahoo Masonic Craft Group is working on. These books are going to be donated to new moms. I think her pages look so fun and I think the kids will enjoy looking at them with all the colors she has used on the pages. If you would like to help with this project all is welcomed. All you have to do is contacted me by either responding to this posting with a comment or maybe trying to email me for the groups e-mail masoniccraftgroup@yahoogroups.com and I will be glade to send you the paper and the other letters that need to be made. I will also provide you with what I can on die cutes that I have available. This can be a really fun project if you have one of thought really nicer die cutting machines it was be very fast and simple for you to do. You could cut the letters and some of the other things that begin with that letter and get it accomplished really fast.

ABC Books

These ABC Books that are in the prose of making are going to be donated to the Methodists Children's Hospital Blue Birds Auxiliary.Every New mom that leaves the Hospital receives a bag with books we would like for our books to also be included in their bags. The goal is to make a total of Five Books but More is welcome if we accomplish more.The design of the book is very simple. If you take A you must have B because you will be putting B on the back of the A page. If your intrested in helping with this project then please e-mail me about the ABC books I can assign you some lettersalong with all paper for the books to keep them Uniform. Once one book is complete we can switch letters, someone might have ideas for other letters when they are thinking about their own.
To help with the creation of these books please let me know your interested either with a comment about this post or on the groups web site: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/masoniccraftgroup/
