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.

That's how we roll!

This is a 6x6 card made for my son's birthday.

He is fifteen and his birthday requests are:

Panda Express Gift Card

Sushi for his birthday dinner

and Cadbury mini eggs 

(good thing his birthday is around easter!)

I got these adorable graphics from Pretty Paper Graphics.  

This file is called Silly Sushi.

I didn't have much time to create this card so I used the .png files.

I printed the files on photo paper, and then

I cut the graphics out with my Silhouette Cameo.

The paper in the background is from Lettering Delights and is

found in the Ninja Kicks paper pack.

Mickey and Minnie Mouse

Fun Mickey and Minnie Mouse birthday card!

I hate that it has the dated stamped on it, :)

yes I can be a slacker!

I used the Cricut Cartridge Mickey and Friends and

spiced it up with some glitter for Minnie and

Glossy Accents on the eyes.

These cuties are connected to the card with an

action wobble so that it wobbles!!!

I have entered this card in the Action Wobble Challenge.

Baymax

I don't know about you but I loved the movie Big Hero 6.

This card was made from an SVG by PPbN Designs.

The embossing is from the Cuttlebug folder Chicken Wire.

I might be a peanut...

Another valentine.  Funny story behind this valentine, I had been doing the 14 days of valentine's for my kids this year.  Each day they woke up with some sort of treat and a "Punny" saying that went a long with it.  One day after my five year old woke up and I read the saying to him he came up with his own.  "I might be a peanut, but I would risk my life to save my friends!", and then he would laugh hysterically.  I never really got the pun, but oh well, he repeated it daily!

I decided that would be the perfect sentiment for his valentine this year and this SVG fit perfectly.

This SVG is from Little Scraps of Heaven.

The background is from an embossing folder called tiny hearts 

from The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby).

The twine is made by Maya Road and is also found at Hobby Lobby

with a 40% off coupon it is an awesome deal.

UNFROG-GETABLE

My son and I made this for his Preschool teacher.

His teacher was AMAZING and today 

was his graduation!

I used a Littlest Pet Shop Coloring page and 

my Silhouette to create this SVG file. 

The background embossing is from the Cuttlebug 

Once Upon a Princess Embossing Kit.

The twine is from Maya Road it is called Blackberry.

I just found this twine at Hobby Lobby and LOVE it!

It is 5.99 for 100 yards, use your 40% and that is a great deal!

The Sentiment is from My Pink Stamper-More Punny-licious!

I have a TON of stuff I need to post.  

Hopefully, I will get to it soon.

Life just seems to be getting crazier and crazier!

Birthday Minion!

This isn't the best picture, I kinda forgot about taking one until

we were RUSHING and the door and then

it was a quick one.

This cute Minion is from Pretty Paper,  Pretty Ribbons.

It was really quick and easy to put together!

Buccanner Parrot!

I love this little guy!

He has a number of layers that I pop dotted with foam dots 

and they look amazing together!!!

Well, that is it for my Buccaneer projects-at least to date!

Enjoy!!!

Buccaneer Crab!

This little guy isn't as bright as the others, he was one of my first and I 

was having a little trouble getting my Imagine up and running again.

Does anyone else have a problem getting their Imagine to work after

leaving it sitting for a little while?

If so, I would love to hear how you fix that little problem!!!!

Buccaneer Fish

This one is a tough guy!

Sounds like it would make a great get well card for someone of the male species! 

(Just Kidding!!!!)

Buccaneer Pirate 2

One of the things I love about these cards are that they are masculine...

I definitely need some of those in stock.

It seems that most of my cards have a more feminine feel!

Buccaneer Pirate!

YO HO, YO HO, A PIRATE'S LIFE FOR ME!!

Buccaneer!

I kinda went a little crazy with my Cricut Buccanner Imagine Cartridge.

These projects are so easy and quick to put together I made a few!

I will post each of them separately over the next few days!

 

Shiver Me Timbers!

I used my Cricut Imagine and the Buccaneer Cartridge to make this quick card!

I made another card like this with detailed instructions for the Imagine HERE!

Thanksss!

Here is another thing I LOVE about my Silhouette!

I downloaded this lizard as a coloring book page and was able to use my silhouette studio 

(I do have the upgraded version, but I don't know if that matters in this case), 

to break the image apart, color it and put it back together.  

 I then used the print and cut feature to cut it out!

It does take a little while to create the colored image, 

but once I have it done it's saved on my computer for easy access next time I need it!

I will try to find the amazing you tube tutorial where I learned how to do this... 

if I can find it again!
I found it!!!  The you tube tutorial was created by cricflix.
Look up her projects you will be amazed and inspired!!!

Tweety!!!

Downloaded this adorable Tweety bird print and cut from the Silhouette store.  

All of there licensed images are 50% off right now.

I love how simple and quick it is to print and cut!!!

I felt the card needed a little something else when I was done.

Unfortunately I couldn't find a lightning bolt in any of the stores I frequent.  

This is what I LOVE about silhouette...I found an image online, downloaded it to my silhouette, 

sized it and then clicked on the rhinestone feature and TADA...I had a custom made rhinestone template!!!  I printed it out and then simply used my Imaginesce I Rock tool to adhere the rhinestones.

Happy Birthday

This card was made with the Cricut Imagine Cartridge Yummy!  The base of the card is 12 x 6 folded in half and from Stampin' Up called Early Espresso.  The three square background layers are all from the Yummy Cartridge and are 5 3/4, 5 1/2, 5 1/4 inches.  The twine is from We R Memory Keepers and I used pop dots to give dimension to the cake, cake layers and the celebrate.
