Clipboard for the teacher!

Hi there!  This week we are celebrating Back to school with SweetSassyDiva. I have actually been back to work for 2 weeks now and will be getting my students this week! I am excited to meet them but also want everything perfect before they arrive on their first day (if that is possible). In Kindergarten we are constantly taking assessments and notes while students are working hard. I decided to make a cute clipboard for my friend. Here it is:

I used a clipboard, pattern paper, and my Gypsy!

I cut and glued my patterned paper to the clipboard.

I used my gypsy to cut out Ms. Jensen and Brenda (I let her choose.)

I added her name, sealed it with modge podge and ribbon! 

I hope you like my creation! If you want to see more check me out on my facebook page!

Happy Crafting!

Picnic at the Park

Hi there!!! August is National Picnic Month!! I decided to make a layout in hopes of going on a picnic sometime this month!  When ever I go to a park I am always looking at the flowers around. Anyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE flowers of any kind! Here is my layout:

 

Here is how I made the layout!  

1. Cut the green pattern paper 11.5 inches by 11.5 inches and mount on the 12 by 12 red cardstock
2. Next I cut out my flower pattern paper from Nana's Kitchen stack at 4 inches by 11.5 inches. I used my deco shell border punch on the top and bottom and adhered it to the green pattern paper an inch from the bottom. 
3. Next I used my Gypsy to cut out the Picnic at the park sentiment from Kate's ABC's. The red words are layered on the green background! 
4. I also used the gypsy to cut ants from Nate's ABC's in 1/2 inch, 1 inch, and 1.5 inch sizes to place around the layout! 
5. Next I cut three of the red squares are 3.25 inches square with Aqua Divine Twine wrapped twice around each card.
6. I glued down the ants around the page!
