Beginning of School Blog Hop-- CTMH Teacher Survival Kit

Thanks for joining us for the Beginning of School Blog Hop! 

You should have arrived from Jessica's Blog  The hop begins on Kathryn's blog if you'd like to start at the top.



 We have 16 fabulous designers all ready to show you a "school" creation! This is the second of a two-day hop so be prepared for some more fun!

For the first time in my 10 years of teaching, we were greeted at this week's first staff meeting with a Teacher Survival kit!  This gave me great inspiration for a teacher gift for my son's teacher!


For this gift, I created a little bag out of cardstock, added some fun new Close To My Heart products to it.  It was really simple and easy to do :)
*Typeset Level 2 papers--- perfect for any school project!
*Cricut Art Philosophy-- I cut a 6" flower and scrunched the paper, then rolled it up.
*Bling Assortment-- perfect for adding a little bling to any project!
*Brads Metal Assortment-- a brad to secure the handle to the bag.


Shown with all the goodies I put inside :)


OK- Time to HOP on over to Tina's blog for School time FuN!!!!

This is adorable and believe me the teacher will just love this a few years back when I was a pre-k teacher I got one of these similar to this and I just loved it.
I only wish my kids were smaller I could make it for their teacher but, now they are in High School and ..... it's just not cool anymore....lol

What a fantastic idea! I should make one of these for my sister, she is a teacher- and from the stories she has told, could definitly use a survival kit. haha. Beautiful work.

CTMH- Washi Tape Card

Do you WASHI???   Washi Tape is one of the new and super trendy products being used.  I'm not afraid to jump on the bandwagon :)  CTMH now has a Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape (and I HOPE there are lots more to come!!!)  I also have picked up a couple others at Michaels recently. This weeks Color My Heart Color Dare is JUNIPER.  I decided to use Juniper as the accent color for my card today. I used the black banner stamp set from Artiste Kudos , CTMH's Slate Washi Tape , CTMH's Silver Shimmer Trim and a black arrow washi tape.  The sentiment is from Artiste Birthday , stamped in Juniper, then popped on foam tape. A simple card like this, called for some dressing up of the inside too.  I stamped Happy Birthday from Perfect Fit Birthday and added some Slate Washi Tape to the bottom. Head over to Color My Heart to check out the other color dare entries :)

CTMH-- September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favori

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for September 2012, featuring Fall Favorites   All artwork on the hop will feature Fall Favorites!  This is a set of 11 stamps and it's really making me want FALL---- NOW!!!  How cute is this set!?  If you have come here from  Susan's Blog y ou are on the right path. For my card today, I used the new Clementine paper pack, which is so versatile!  I cut the tag from Art Philosophy and stamped Fall Favorites in Brown Staz-on ink, then colored the pumpkin and leaves with my new markers.  I found that they don't blend and shade terribly well on Kraft cardstock- but the color showed up.  I added some of my favorite Burlap Ribbon to the card :) Do you think I like pumpkin pie???  Just a little bit ;) The September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favorites is available September 1-30th.  With any $50 purchase, this set is yours for $5....
