No "Otter" Teacher Better!

Today is for Teacher Appreciation the students were asked to bring in a sweet treat for their teacher!!  Sean picked out the popsicle from Simply Charmed for the card.  We attached Otter Pops to the card to let her know that there is no "otter" teacher better than her and she is an amazing teacher to Sean and the "otter" students!!  

It was super easy to make:  I used glitter paper, my gypsy, googly eyes, pop dots, coffee stirrer for the popsicle stick, ATG tapegun, Expression E2, "sweet" stamp from a Stamping Up set I got at a yard sale, spare paper and ribbon.  Easy Peasy!!

Have a Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezey type of day!!!

You are note worthy!

Today is the second day for the kids to bring in something for their teachers.  Today they were to bring in a card/note.  I had Sean look through my Cricut booklets and he feel in love with the pencil and paper from Simply Charmed.  As you can see I didn't make the paper, it didn't look "write" with white glitter paper so I 86'd that and decided to add #1 Teacher from Makin' the Grade.

I used, of course, glitter paper, scrap pieces of paper & ribbon for the card, Gypsy, Expression E2 & my trusty ATG tapegun.  He wrote a lovely message to his teacher.  I had him bring this note with a bag of Starbucks coffee and a coffee cup.  I hope she's enjoying being spoiled by him...he's given her quite a rough year!!!


Have a note worthy day!!

Berry Sweet!!!

So besides our P.A.L.S group spoiling our teachers the student council sent home notes for the kiddos to spoil their teachers.  Each day something new.  So today, Tuesday, is Fruit.  I didn't want to give her a plan old apple.  I wanted something special and different.  I saw another "sweet" idea on, yes you guessed it, Pinterest and ran with this theme of strawberries.  I used Cricut Cartridge Simply Charmed and made a strawberry and the saying.  I am totally in love with glitter paper these days and orange...I just can't get enough!!  

Tomorrow my son will give his 4th grade teacher a package of strawberries with this cute label on top.  Because I embossed the strawberry I am going to enter this craft into Sprinkle With Glitter's for her National Scrapbooking Day challenge.  National Scrapbooking Day was on Saturday, May 5th (my 40th bday...whohoo).  


Here's her challenge:  Your National Scrapbook Day Challenge from me is to create a project using embossing.  You can create ANY type of project and use ANY type of embossing.


I used my cuttlebug and swiss dots to give the strawberry a 3D look and it looks a little more realistic?!?

I know my son's teacher will love this and I hope you did too!

Have a Berry Sweet Day!!
