School Time

My girls are back to school. This year they will be in school all day. So my goal is to develop my blog more. I'm looking to switch from blogging with blogger to Wordpress. So during this time I trying to learn more information about making the changes. 

It's exciting to move forward and develop it.

 

 

What type of projects or tutorials would you like to see?

Back Pack Makeover

My youngest daughter had a plain pink back pack. So of course will all my crafting supplies I decided to give it a makeover. 

This is what the finished bag looked like. 

Here are all the supplies I used. 

- I used paracord to tie to the zippers to pull

- I cut flowers out of felt with dies and my Cuttlebug

- I sewed buttons to the flowers using embroidery floss

   To make sewing easier, I marked the button holes with a pen and 

    punched holes with a hole punch

- I glued the flowers down with Beacon 3-in-1 glue

Hope you enjoyed my back pack makeover. 

I hope to get back to crafting more often. I have a daughter in 1st grade and another starting pre-school soon. 

100 days in school

My daughter Ariel is in Kindergarten. She had homework to make a poster with 100 things on it, to celebrate 100 days in Kindergarten. This is what she made using the Cricut.

Preschool Valentines - Quick and Easy

My oldest daughter is in preschool. This is what we made for her Valentine Cards at school. The teacher suggested having the students write their name on every card. So of course Ariel got alot of practice righting her name.

 My favorite tools to round corners, punch holes and set eyelets.

The "We R Memory Keepers" Corner Chomper and Crop-A-Dial

Instructions

I started with some scrap Valentine paper. Then rounded the corners. Stamped the sentiments. Had Ariel write her name over and over. Punch two holes for the suckers. Insert the sucker. Adhere the "from" label. These were really easy to make. I made 25 of them in probably an hour.

Christmas Good Bags

After seeing Robyn - My Pink Stamper post her Christmas Goodie bags for her kids, I realized I should make some for my daughter.  My oldest is in Preschool, so this is the first year I've gotten to make some. This week, I helped at her school when they made Gingerbread houses. After realizing how much sugar they were going to have this week, I tried to come up with a different type of goodie bag (with less sugar).

Back

So my goodie bags included a Christmas Pencil and pieces for them to make a Christmas Photo Ornament. I got enough supplies to make 20 of them from Micheal's for about $5. I made an example of each ornament and then took a picture. I wanted to show how the finished ones looked so I put it on the back. I edited it in Publisher using a shipping label template so I could make alot of them quickly.

Supplies

Stamps: A Child Is Born - Unity Stamp Company

Foam Ornaments & Pencils - Michael's

Then I made her teachers a post-it note holder and a recipe book.
