Altered Journal for Teacher for Back to School

Hi Everyone!!  Sorry for the lack of posts lately.  I have been busy with back to school stuff and sports!!  Now that my kids are going back to school, I will be posting more regularly. 

I have a project for you today that my child will be giving the teacher the first day of school.  I will also be entering this project in several challenges (see bottom of post).

I purchased this small journal yesterday at ACMoore for $1.00.

All cuts are from Cricut cartridges (see bottom of post).  I used my ATG gun and a glue pen to adhere all the cuts down. 

 The sentiment "My Teacher Rocks" is from My Creative Time.  The adorable face is from Peachy Keen Critter Faces Medium.  I applied Glossy Accents to the glasses to make them look glossy.   I also used my white gel pen to add white dots to the teachers name and apple.

 I also covered the pen with red and white twine.   And tied a bow with the same twine.  I used my ATG gun to adhere the twine to the pen.

I am so happy with how this turned out.  You know I have seen this apple and worm so many time and this is the first time I have cut it out!  I really need to use my carts more!! LOL

Cricut Cartridges:

  Recess - Apple
  Create A Critter - Worm
  Sesame Street Font - Sunny Days Font

I am entering this in the following challenges:
  Peachy Keen - Anything Goes
  Really Reasonable Ribbon- Back To School
  Fantabulous Cricut Crawl- Back to school (use school supplies)

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Crafting!!

Baby's First Birthday

Hi Everyone!  I wanted to share with you decorations from my baby girls first birthday using my cricut and Peachy Keen face stamps.  I had so much fun making these decorations.  I LOVE the way this cake turned out!

I punched 2 flowers and 1 circle for each cupcake and glued the toothpick between the 2 punched flowers.  It was super easy. 

These are plain pink party plates.  I just glued the flowers on.

I got these blowers at the Dollar Tree and ripped off the original decoration and glued on my flower. 

I found this craft paper also at the Dollar Tree.  I wrapped up the presents and used light pink sheer ribbon (also from Dollar Tree) for the smaller tube packages.  I used light pink tule for the bow on the large package.

Thanksgiving Turkey Card

Hi Everyone!!  I made this card for the Creative Cutter Room Challenge and the E.A.D Designs Color Challenge.  I am really happy with how it turned out.  I originally wanted to stamp "Thankful For...." or "Happy Thanksgiving" but the turkey was too tall and the hat over ran the sentiment.  Oh well, I will stamp it on the inside :)

 Recipe:
Orange Cardstock
Brown Cardstock
Thanksgiving Pattern Paper (DCWV Fall Stack 2)
White Gel Pen
Pop Dots
Cricut Cartridge:
  Create a Critter (turkey)

So Dear Card for Peachy Keen Challenge

Hi Everyone,

I made this "So Dear" card for the PKC challenge.  I used the Create a Critter cartridge for the phrase, deer, and flowers.  I added some Martha Stewart glitter to the "Dear" and her collar.  Also used Peachy Keen Basic Paper Doll face stamp.
