A Little Something Yummy~Teacher's Gift

Hello everyone! Laura here from Laura's Crafts & More...This week the DT is making projects for back-to-school! I have a freshman in college & a sophomore in HS so I don't usually make Back-to-School gifts anymore but this year I have a new member of our family to make for...my brother is engaged & his fiancee has a 7 yr old daughter! So this is what I made for her to give to her teacher! I'm so glad to have a "little one" to share my crafts with again! 

  A few years ago, a friend of mine gave me a big box full of these plastic apples! These are so easy to decorate and spiffy up to make a cute, quick gift for any teacher! 

 And here it is filled up with Hershey Hugs!  

I used "A Little Something Yummy" from Tag You're It One & "For My Teacher" from All Around Sentiments.

It's Back to School Time!

Greetings, crafty friends, Julie here from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers, hoping you are having a fantastic Labor Day weekend.

With this being Labor Day, it also means school starts tomorrow here in the small town where I live, so our 'Back to School' theme this week with the design team is perfect!

When I was looking for ideas, I saw this shaped card, and knew what I wanted to do.  What do you think?

 

Wouldn't this be a fun card to slip in a lunch box or leave on your favorite teacher's desk? I used the Joy's Life stamp set, Punny Animals. There are many great puns on this set.  You'll find this set and all of Joy's wonderful stamps in the Joy's Life store.

 

Come back tomorrow for more inspiration from the Joy's Life design team and visit my blog if you want details on how I made this card.





Lunch Notes

I had so much fun creating a pile of lunch notes for my kids yesterday! Over the next month, schools are calling classes to order. I enjoy tucking notes and cards into my kids' lunches from time to time.

With the many sentiments from Joy's Life, you can make their day a little brighter!

I also thought it might be fun to use up my dwindling stash of stickers.  Yes, Stickers.  Gasp. I know...evil stickers! lol. But...I think you will really like how these turned out!

I picked these darling hoot owls from Colorbok over a year ago.

Perfect for school stuff...or to decorate the keyboard area of my laptop!

LOL

I made 3 of each...with slight variation...as I have 3 kids!

It was so fun to use paper from a memo pad to create this 

cheerful note! Simple adhere it together using Ultra Thin Glue Dots ®.

This one is extra special b/c I only had stickers enough for one card.

I guess I *DO* need to add to my sticker collection!

Every kid has a sweet tooth...right?

And, I don't think they will mind being called "Sugar"

 if there was a piece of candy tucked in with this note!

Inspire that student of yours...

All of these note cards measure 3.5 x 2.5 when finished.  Simply cut your paper: 5 x 3.5 inches...and fold in half!  Dig through your stash of stickers...add your favorite embellies.

Top it all off with sensational sentiments from Joy's Life.

Here I have used words from:

My Hero

Punny Animals

That Tastes Punny

This Calls For Chocolate

Hello everyone! Laura here from Laura's Crafts & More...This week the DT is making Back To School projects...I am using "This Calls For Chocolate from the Tag You're It 2 set. And who wouldn't like some yummy Godiva chocolate after the craziness of the 1st day of school??

Back to school cookie bag

It's Megan again, back with a fun back to school project. I am not ready for the summer to be over, but I do love back to school time. I guess it's nostalgia, but it's just so exciting! I decided to create a fun little treat for my daughter's lunch box. 

Don't mind the condensation in the baggie, it was so hot outside that when I went out, the bag fogged all up! LOL! 

Those are lemon iced zucchini cookies! Yum!

I used the 'You're a Smart Cookie' stamp from the Yummy Puns set! I just got this set and I can't get enough of it!

Check out my blog for more details.

Back to School Card

Hello crafters, Nina here with another Back to School Card!

I cut the school progress card from patterned paper, punched the notebook border on the backing piece and stamped the sentiment "Back to School" from Holiday Occasions. I drew the circle myself to highlight the sentiment.

You can get the stamps here! Visit my blog here! Happy Crafting!

Back to School Notebook

Hi everyone...I am here with a bit of a late post for Joy's Life.com, thanks to lots of smoke in the air affecting my little one with asthma..not a fun past 48 hours, let me tell you!

This week over at Joy's Life.com , we are all working on projects gearing up for BACK TO SCHOOL. 

I have this adorable purse to show you.  Have you seen these before????

Can you tell what it is made out of??

First of all let me point out I have made a sweet little tag from the LOTS OF PUN stamp set.

Here is a close up of the front, you can tell, but the sewing scene is all sewn into a pouch of vinyl.

Here is a side view and maybe now you can tell this is made from a simple inexpensive composition notebook.

Here is the inside.

More of the inside.

Here is a view of the back.

One last look at the front.

I didn't have pattern for this, I just kind of made it up as I went along.

I just LOVE it!  I thought it was perfect for the whole back to school theme.

Maybe a bit fancy for grade school, but maybe for the up and coming new designer, seamstress?  Who knows!  It is just SEW DARN CUTE!!

This has been Jeannie from The Polka Cabana with today's post.
