The ribbon is snug hug that I dyed using tim holtz inks, the sentiment is from CTMH "Thoughtful Tidings" stamp set and the embellishment is jolees.

Shadow Box Initial Frames ~ Teacher Appreciation Week 2013

Happy Monday Bloggers,

Today is the first day of week long activities honoring the teachers at the kids school. I've been busy creating things for the teachers and today I would like to share with you the shadow boxes I made for them. These are so very easy and fun to create. I used the cricut cartridge "Chip Decor", along with the chip board letters from Hobby Lobby. Its good to get them when they are half off. First I painted the letter using acrylic paint. Be sure to paint all areas that will not be covered with scrapbook paper. Next, cut the paper using the chip decor cartridge. I cut mines at 3.5. The size is on the packaging. Once you have everything cut and the chip board letter has dried its time to adhere everything down. My go to choice for adhesive is my pink ATG gun. The shadow boxes I used are 6 by 8 so I just took regular cardstock and trimmed it down to that size and adhered it to the back of my shadow box. Because I wanted to make sure the letter had a tight bond to the cardstock I used both my hot glue gun and my ATG gun to adhere it down. The final steps are just embellishing the letter, and shadow box.

My kids were very excited when they saw them and could not wait to give them to their teachers.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to leave comments. Have a wonderful day.

Save The Date ~ Graduation Announcements

Happy Monday Evening Everyone,

It has been a while since my last post. I have been feeling a tad bit under the weather and haven't spent anytime in my craft room. Today I was feeling somewhat energetic and this is where I decided to spend my time. No laundry, no dishes, no cooking or cleaning was done today. My craft room and I needed to spend some much needed time together. So this is what I came up with today. They are graduation announcements for an upcoming graduation in May.

"Save The Date", is from the Sweethearts cricut cartridge cut at 3 inches. I used the cuttlebug "Congrats" embossing folder, Close to my heart "Little Reminder" stamp set for the circle months of the year and the numbers on the calendar., CTMH~ "Congrats Graduate" stamp set for the "class of" and "Graduate sentiments and CTMH~ "Countdown Holidays" stamp set for the 2013. For a little extra pizazz I used a martha steward border punch and some black and white twine.

The "Save The Date" is popped up using foam circles. Thanks for looking and leaving comments.

Have a wonderful week.
