Here is my project for day 1...

This is an easel card that I made for my Daughters Kindergarten teacher. 
She is retiring this year so I thought Bahama Mama set from TBD would be perfect to use on her card.
I also entered this card into The Beary Scrap Challenge #27

Here is the front of the card

This is the inside

and this is it standing

Hope you enjoyed my little project for day 1.

A place for those Box tops for Educations ~

This is an altered Crystal Light container to hold all the box tops and the Campbell's soup labels for education that I collect to help raise money for supplies for my daughters school.

I entered this project in The Beary Scrap's Facebook Challenge

Here is a before...

And, the after....

Awwww ain't she just an adorable little chef (chef cutting file is from Treasure Box Designs) The Tear Bear pattern is from The Beary Scrap.

Too cute, right?!!!!

And finally a side view...

Now I can collect those little papers in style.
I must mention so I do not get anyone upset with me again, that this idea for the Box Top holder came from a Facebook aqaintance named Lara Klomp-Walker.

Thanks for visiting!

Class and Teachers Gift ~ 2nd post

Kira and I made 17 of these adorable cocoa treat holders for her classmates.  The file is from Treasure Box Designs, she is having a %55 off of $25 for the 12 days of Christmas sale and there were a few files I could not resist.  Since I was looking for one of these, I went ahead and purchased it, it wound up only costing me a dollar and change.  Isn't it just too cute and we added a candy cane to stir their hot cocoa!

I made this adorable crayon wreath for Kira's teacher to hang in the classroom.
I found this awesome little cutie months ago on Jill's Blog.

I scrap lifted her exact design I loved it so much!!!!
All but the apple and the words are from MyScrapChick.com 
She is having a TOTALLY AWESOME 70% off winter sale!!!

World Card Making day...

Here is one of my cards for the big day... I am still working on the other.
This is just a fun Halloween card. I wanted to make a green tear bear witch, I used my own pattern on the bear & Treasure Box Designs for the witch's costume... I apologize, but I forget where the broom & the cat came from.

TFL!

I have received my first TWO blog awards

I was awarded these by a great girl from the Cricut MB. Thanks Sandy! Check out her great blog, she is a very talanted chickie & sweet too~ http://detailsbysandy.blogspot.com/ . I was told I need to pass this along to 5 others, but I just started blogging and really don't have all that many friends online that blog, the blogs I follow are for inspiration... One person that was a great help to me when I was having a problem with downloading files from Treasure Box Designs http://tboxdesigns.com/ (no fault of theirs) was Stacy, she tried and tried everything she could to help me and finally it worked... http://stacysfreesvgs.blogspot.com/ She has an awesome blog too. (hope you don't mind Stacy). Thanks again Girls

Treasure Box Designs
