Teacher Appreciation

This has been such a fun week.  We started it by decorating our teachers door 

and then brought her a surprise gift each day of teacher appreciation week.

All of these projects are super simple my little guy

was able to help on every project which

makes it all the more special.

The cookies are from PPBN Designs.

#1 Teacher

This tin can was found at Hobby Lobby

The flowers are from the Cricut Cartridge George and Basic Shapes 

and the #1 Teacher is from the Cricut Cartridge Makin' the Grade.

This adorable idea was found on The Happy Scraps Blog 

with one slight adustment.  I measured the top of the dry erase marker

and then created a circle that size in my Silhouette program

and grouped it together with my George flower. 

It was my little guys idea to color the flowers

the color of the marker and he had a BLAST doing it!

World's Greatest Teacher!

This project was made using a download from

My Computer is My Canvas,

The wrappers are printed out and wrapped

around nugget candy bars.  The ones with 

the toffee are my favorite.

Teacher You're The Balm

The printable for the eos lip balm is from

Simple as That.

For The Best Teacher Ever! 

This is another download from

My Computer is My Canvas.

These are magnets made from bottlecaps.

I Touch the Future. I Teach.

This phrase was purchased from the Silhouette Store.

The cup was from the local Dollar Tree and 

the sentiment from Crazy Little Projects.

Inside the cup it some Propel flavor packets.

I Hope You Dance!!!

I made this for my niece who is graduating this Thursday from high school.  She has danced most of her life and was on the high school drill team for three years, so that is why I used the lyrics from the song I hope you dance, by LeeAnn Womack.

The graduation caps are an idea from Joy's Life.  I had a difficult time finding the right size top for my graduation cap, and finally settled on Ghirardelli squares.  I tried to find the right size mold to make my own, but to no avail.  The flowers are from the Cricut Cartridge Create a Critter (I love that cartridge).  I used my hide contours feature on my gypsy to hide the center when I cut the flower.  I glittered the four flowers that say "I hope you dance", to hopefully make them stand out a little more!  I used my Xyron Creatopia to get them sticky and then used Martha Stewart glitter to make them sparkle.

I printed the lyrics on my computer and then used the center point function on my cricut to cut out the circles using the Cricut Cartridge George and Basic Shapes, only because I did not have the right size punch,  in hindsight it would have been easier to by the 2" punch.  Sometimes I worry about myself, why didn't I think of that earlier, Joann's has them on for 50% off!  Oh well!!!

I hope she likes it and I hope when she gets the choice 

to sit it out or dance in life...I hope she dances!!!
