Happy Wednesday!

If you are looking for the My Creative Time sneak peak, click here!

Today is the eleventh week of my summer guest designer series. This week's guest designer is my super talented friend, Julie! Her blog is called Cricut Chick!

HELLO! I’m Julie…aka…Cricut Chick!

I'm so excited that today has finally arrived!

Ruthie asked me to be a guest designer on her blog September Ninth for
her Summer Fun “Guest Designer” Wednesday!

I must say, this is a really BIG deal for me.

I have been inspired by Ruthie’s

creations since the first day I started my blog:)

So...what makes you think about summer???

I remember summer when I was a kid and getting to go

to Cedar Point. I can’t believe I would ride those rides…

(You couldn’t pay me to ride them now) LOL! 

The card I made for today takes me back to those

FUN DAYS OF SUMMER when the ride monitor would say..

"keep your hands in the car!"  Haha! Yeah right!

I would throw my hands in the air the second we pulled

out of the platform and scream like a maniac

 on that crazy corkscrew roller coaster!

WEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Front

Side

Inside

Angle

FUN is right!

I used my newest favorite cartridge called

"Summer Celebrations"

and my stamp set from

K. Andrew Desings called

"Splashtastic"



I hope you enjoyed looking at my

"Summer Fun" card.

Hopefully it brought back some good

memories for some of you too:)

 

Thank you for visiting:)


Thanks so much Julie! Your card is soooo much fun and definitely reminds me of summer!


Please head on over to Julie's blog and leave her some blog love!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

My Creative Time's August Stamp Release - Sneak Peaks!

Happy Monday!

Today is the 1st day of My Creative Time's "Sneak Peak" week! The set that we are showcasing today is called "Home Sewn."

 I made a housewarming gift for a friend and her husband, they just recently purchased their 1st home.

I cut the shopping cart out in the same colors that she is using in her kitchen and filled it with a couple jars of spices and a gift card.

 I love this new stamp set! It has lots of "home" and "sewing" sentiments and the new stitched oval die works perfectly with all of them!

Here are a few more views of the shopping cart.

This 3-d shopping cart is also a sneak peak for SVG Attic, as well. It is part of a set of fun gift boxes that is coming out soon!

Extra-ordinary Teacher!

Happy Friday!

I have another back to school gift idea today.  These are kinda fun don't you think? Again I found this idea on Pinterest, but I changed it up a bit so that it would work as a teacher gift.

The apple is from the Give a Hoot Cartridge. I cut it at 3 1/2".

I typed the sentiment on my computer and then used the center cut feature on my Cricut to cut it out.  Cute no?

Tomorrow I will have a "sneak" of one of Emma's new stamps, that she is releasing next Friday!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Summer Fun "Guest Designer" Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!

Today is the eleventh week of my summer guest designer series. This week's guest designer is my super talented friend, Jin! Her wonderful blog is called Under a Cherry Tree.

Hi Everyone, I'm Jin from Under A Cherry Tree and I am so thrilled that Ruthie has asked me to be today's guest designer for her blog. (Thanks, Ruthie!) As this is her Summer "Guest Designer" Series, I was asked to do a Summer-themed project. To me, Summer starts when my kids get out of school and it ends when they go back. My girls go back to school in 3 weeks and so even though the last day of Summer isn't until the 23rd (or 22nd?) of September, I am already feeling that the season is coming to an end.

Today's card reflects how I feel about Summer. I used images from the Lettering Delights' Soak Up the Sun SVG and their Vacation Cut It sets with Make-the-Cut program. I also used the LD Cursive and the LD Big Kahuna fonts for the sentiment. By the way, the sentiment and the black colored layers are vinyl. I love using vinyl for sentiments on cards because they are so easy to apply. All the cuts were made using my Silhouette SD cutter.

 
School starts at the end of this month and I will have 3 kids in elementary school. My youngest will be going to Kindergarten! Where did the time go? :-( I am scrambling to spend as much time with my babies as possible before school starts and so I will end today's post right here. Excuse me while I head outside and try to catch as much sunshine as I can before Summer is gone.

xoxoxoxoxo

Thanks soooo much Jin!

Don't forget to head to Jin's blog and leave her some blog love!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Back 2 school gift and card for the Teacher!

Happy Tuesday!

Today I have another back to school idea for you. I saw a cute idea on Pinterest and thought it would make a really cute inexpensive gift for a teacher. I changed it up a bit and created a card to go with it.

The school house cut is from SVG Attic's set called Back 2 School Cupcake Wrapper. I used the shadow layer to create the base of my card.

The papers are Papertrey Ink and Coredinations.

The sentiment is from My Creative Time's stamp set called, My Teacher Rocks!

The teacher's gift is a bottle of hand lotion with a blackboard tag that say's...

 I always pick up a ton of hand lotions when they are on sale, so I always have a few extra laying around. They make great inexpensive gifts!

The blackboard is an SVG that I created in Make-the-Cut and I used a white Souffle pen to write on the black board. 

In fact these are perfect for anyone works at the school... like the office staff! Good way to butter them up! You never know when you might need a favor! :)

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Back to School Decor!

Happy Monday!

If you are looking for the Paper Playtime post, click here.

Last week SVG Attic released the cutest cupcake set called, Back 2 School. I knew it would be perfect for a project that I had in mind.

(Beware this post is heavy on photos)

I saw this idea for a crayon wreath several years ago, at a Hobby Lobby. I put it on my "to do" list , in the back of mind and then immediately forgot about it. Then about 2 months ago, I came across a photo of one on Pinterest and I remembered that it was on my "to do" list and that my sister-in-law just happens to be a 3rd grade teacher... I immediately moved it to the top of my list.  

FYI...There is a video tutorial at the end of the post.

The crayons were purchased at Wal-Mart for 40 cents a box and the wreath base was cut from chip board, on my Cricut. There is more info about that in the video tutorial below.

These three cuts were cut from SVG Attic.com, Back 2 School svg file.  All three were cut at 3" tall.

 The "school" stamp is from My Creative Time's set called, My Teacher Rocks.

 

All of the papers are Recollections from Michael's.

Here is what you will need to make this wreath.

1. Wreath base - mine has an 8" outside diameter and a 5" inside diameter. 

(Designed in Make-the-Cut and cut it out on my Cricut)

2. 2 packs of 24 count Crayons, for a total of 48 crayons.

(Purchased at Wal-Mart for 40 cents each.)

3. Bright colored ribbon for the bow & to attach on the back for/as a hanger.

4. Four decorative cuts to place on the from of the wreath, mine are from SVG Attic's , Back 2 School collection.

(All were cut at 3" tall)

5. A fabulous teacher to give it to!

Here is a video tutorial showing how I made it!

Part Two

I hope that you will stop by SVGAttic.com and check out the new store, blog, and forum! This week Jessica is hosting a fun 3-d challenge with a chance to win a gift certificate.

Tomorrow starts an all new sketch challenge at Peachy Keen Stamps!

I hope you have a wonderful day!
