Dinosaur birthday card for my Nephew

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!  My nephew turns 6 this week so I finally get to make a card for someone!  I used Create a Critter dinosaurs for this "scene card".  I added red glitter to the volcano using my zig 2 way glue pen.  The grass came from Plantin Schoolbook.  I used the cuttlebug's divine swirls on the yellow mat.

Preschool Christmas Treat Bags

I wanted to do a little something special for the 4 year old preschool class.  They have their Christmas Pageant on Wednesday- if there's no bad weather Tuesday night, that is ;)  They had their actual party today, but I was too slow and just put these together today.  I'll just send them in on Wednesday as a "job well done" treat!  I used a $1 stamp for the Christmas tree that I found at Joann's. I cut the green scalloped circle using the Storybook cartridge (the letter I, shift and shadow).  The patterned paper is from this year's DCWV Chrismtas Stack.  I got the little self-seal bags from Hobby Lobby and filled them with green and red M&M's.  Easy and colorful!! :)

Teacher Christmas Gifts

I've been busy, just not doing what I want to do!  I have been able to sneak in a little crafting time here and there and in that time I've been focusing on my daughter's teacher's present.  She's a young teacher and still enjoys getting teacher themed things :)  Her main gift will be monetary, as I know for a fact that is what she wants, but I want to put together a few fun things to go with it.  Here is what I've done so far!

I decorated a recipe box and made 5 notecards and envelopes (probably will add some more) to put in it.  I need to put a sentiment on the front of something like "from the desk of".  Then I decorated a jumbo clothespin in the same papers for her to clip a photo or reminder notes. And finally, I made her a little memo pad holder with pen. I cut the apple from Doodlecharms and that is the only thing I used my Cricut for! I made her a post it note holder last year and bless her heart... she still has it!  I'll most likely make a gift card holder using the same papers and put it all together for her.  She's a great teacher and a good friend, too.  I hope she'll like it!
