We are being featured on the SCS home page, so be sure to head to our SCS Forum for a look at every one's creations !!
When it comes to Teachers, I always think school supplies! Pencils, notebooks, erasers, pens, folders....FUN STUFF!! Not only is it stuff they need, but it puts a more personal touch on them when you decorate them!!
For my post tonight, I went all out...for me, that is! I don't usually get this involved in a project, but I really have a soft spot in my heart for teachers, and I was recently asked to donate to a teacher appreciation dinner, so I am getting a little jumpstart!!
My first project was a card for my special teacher. I used the à la mode set, You Rule. I stamped her on X-Press It blending card, and then colored her with my Copics. She was layered with Bubblegum, Rose Red(SU), and Ocean Mist(PTI). I used the Mini Rolled Rose Die-namics to embellish her a little, and added my sentiment with the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics. For the back ground, I used some Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday paper, and the Notebook Edge Die-namics. My ribbon is from the Ribbon Carousel, and my brads are from Michael's.
For the inside, I used more of the same supplies, and a sentiment from the Clearly Sentimental About Teaching set.
I SWEAR I have seen something like this before, but I couldn't find it anywhere, so I made up my own template for my pencil box. It holds 12 pencils, which I banded together with tape, and then tied some Satin Edged White Grosgrain ribbon from the Ribbon Carousel around longways. I then connected that with some Blossom Twine. The box was made with the same card stock colors and paper as before, and I added some old SU buttons. I added some letters cut out with the By The Letters Die-namics...so FUN!
For the last part of my project, I altered a composition notebook. I used all the same supplies as before, along with another sentiment from the Clearly Sentimental About Teaching set.
Here are the Die-namics I have used:
Well, that is it for me for now, thanks for stopping by!!
