Grandparents Day

Hello again!  This week the SweetSassyDiva Design team has created projects in honor of Grandparents day! I decided to make a card that resembled a quilt for my Grandma Rose! She makes the most amazing quilts I have ever seen. I want to have everyone that she makes but understand I have to share with the rest of my family!........sigh........ well on to my card!

I cut nine 1.5 inch squares from the Mango Frost DCWV stack and 4.75 inch square of matching orange pattern paper.

I adhered the squares to the yellow pattern paper in a simple quilt pattern.

I then added the card front to a pink square cut at 5 inches.

Here is the card base for the easel card. It measures 5inches by 10 inches. I score it at 5 inches and 7.5 inches.

I added the yellow pattern paper to the card base and added a sentiment from Pink By Design. The Butterflies are from Kate's ABC's. Also added some white faux stitching!

Here is a side view of the card!

I hope you like my card! Don't forget to check back this week and see what the rest of the Design team has created for more inspiration!

National Apple Week/ I love my Teacher Blog Hop Day 2

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Day 2 of the I love my Teacher Blog Hop! 

     If you just came to my blog and want to start at the beginning click here to see Abby's Amazing Project! If you just came from Karla you are in the right spot!

Originally this project was for my entry for the Sweet Sassy Diva Design team. We are making projects in honor of  National Apple Week! I love apples! Apples are a popular kitchen or classroom theme and are just plain cute! I am always making lists and decided to decorate a notepad for the fridge with apples. I chose red because they are my favorite! Here is my project:

I placed my apple layers by colors in the corners of my Gyspy. Apple is from Doodlecharms cartridge. 

I placed scrap paper in the corners for each layer.

I cut the top for the notepad at 4.5 inches by 5 inches and ran it through my paper crimper.

I glued the pattern paper on the top of the notepad.

I placed three strips of magnet on the back of the notepad to ensure it stays put!

Last, I placed the notepad on my fridge ready for lists!

I hope you liked my Apple Notepad! They are quick and fun gift to make for friends or family. 

Make sure you come and say hi on my facebook page and check back each day to see what the other awesome SweetSassyDiva Design team members create!
