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!!

Gift Bag for PK Challenge

Hi Everyone!  I have created this cute little gift bag for my daughter for when school starts again.  It is only about a month away and I am starting to think about teacher gifts and cards.  This Peachy Keen Challenge is a great way to start my back to school crafting!!  The challenge is to stamp a gift bag.

 Look how cute that Peachy Keen face is!  I stamped the Princess face 1 1/8" with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I cut the little girls hair out of white cardstock and used Stampin Up Creamy Carmel ink to make it look like red hair.

 I stamped the background of the bag with My Creative Time "My Teacher Rocks" stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Supplies:
  White gift bag
  White, black, purple paper from my stash
  My Creative Time My Teacher Rocks stamp set
  Peachy Keen Princess Faces 1 1/8"
  Stampin Up Creamy Carmel ink pad
  Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad
  Black satin ribbon
  Cricut Lite Rescess Cartridge


Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!!
