Classroom Decorations

Hi y'all!!

Sorry I've been M.I.A again. Just been so darn busy lately. As the kiddos get ready to go back to school, I reached out to a couple of my teacher friends (I still can't believe some of them are teachers!) to see what kinds of things they would want/need in their classrooms from a crafty friend like me. Of course they all said cute stuff for the walls, banners, etc. My old college roommate said she wanted hall passes. GENIUS!!

Since she teaches middle school, I didn't want these to be all cutesy.

I used George and Basic Shapes for the tag, cut on blackout shadow at 6 inches. The letters are from Cricut Classic Font cut at 1 inch. The icons are cut from Going Places at 2.5 inches. Once I had all the pieces glued together, I ran each one through my YourStory to laminate it (these things have to last through the school year). I then punched a hole with my cropadile (larger hole setting) and set an eyelet to reinforce the hole. Last, but not least, I added a 36 inch lanyard that I found on Amazon. Viola!! Aren't they just perfect?

I've listed these in my Etsy shop, here. Come back soon as I have some more projects up my sleeves.

Stay Crafty!!

Some of my Best Friends are Flakes

This week's "Challenge Me Monday" over at  Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog is about "Snowy Delights".   I will also be entering this into Made By Momo's Tuesday Challenge. Her theme is create something that involves "Snow". Living in Philadelphia, I gotten to see quite a bit of snow (last winter we had some where around 72 inches) but nothing like the beautiful snow back in West Virginia.  Here it snows, looks pretty for about an hour. Then the bus, a plow, or a random vehicle comes by and it becomes a gray/black slushy mess. 

Anyway, on to my project.  I tried to find a "snowy" tagline that hasn't been used too terribly much. "Some of my best friends are flakes" is quite funny and if I were to send such a card to any of my best friends they wouldn't take too much offense to it. 

This is a standard A2 size card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2).  I have no idea where this paper is from.  A long time ago I purchased a set of paper from ABC Distributing.  It hasn't been the easiest paper to use up and I don't particularly care for it.  I printed the sentiment from my computer.  I should have used some sort of block for it and maybe put it in the lower corner, but I can't complain it's still a cute card. The snowflake is from the Going Places Cricut cartridge. Until next time....
