Day 16 of 30 Day creative Challenge

Remember the Birthday invites I did a few challenges back???? Well today was the little Monkey's 1st birthday party!!! I needed a card and decided to keep with the monkey theme! So I used the Create a Critter cartridge and made the most adorable monkey card possible!!!

I just love it inside and out!!! I again welded the 2 monkey's together to make the shape card!



The pictures arent the greatest!!! I forgot to take a picture until i got to the party! So this is taken with my cell phone!!!

The month of October is going to be a killer month for me with Tons of projects and things to complete for my 5th grade class as well as my graduate class i'm taking!!! Stick with me as i create new projects!!

Day 15 of 30 Day Creative Challenge and Pink Stamper Challenge!

Well I got some energy back!! So I decided to do a challenge!!! and I love how it came out!!! The Pink Stamper has 5,000,000 hits to her website so she gave us a challenge!!! To create a project with a bird in it!! Well since I just got the Create a Critter Cartridge I used the bird to create a card. I Welded 2 birds together to make the entire card!!! I love it i need to do that more often with shapes!! Shes a cute little bird!! Let me know what you all think!!!

I Love the outside of the card!!! The inside is pretty neat too i think next time i would probably print out another bird for the inside instead of the shape.Have a great Evening everyone!!! Time to get ready to watch Grey's Anatomy!! I love the fall!!!

Day 14 of 30 Day creative challenge

Saw this idea on another blog awhile back (Wish i knew what one, but my minds just not working tonight!!) Ive been wanting to try it. I bought 3 silver plates from the dollar tree spray painted them this dark bluish gray color. then used my cricut to put vinyl letter on it. Im still looking for a way to hang them. Ive heard soda can tabs work to glue them on the back then hang on a nail. I think i might just have to try that!!!! Hope everyone had a great Wednesday!!! I'm so glad tomorrows my friday at school.....but then i have grad class friday and saturday all day!!

Day13 of 30 Day Challenge

• I hope everyone had a wonderful Tuesday!!! 5th Grade students are making me so tried lately! But I'm determined to keep up with my 30 day challenge!! Today's project wasn't the most creative but it sure does help my classroom for what I needed. I took my Cricut to school and used vinyl on my cabinet doors to put the labels up for my word wall!! I wish i could use it to put all the words up there but that would use up a lot of vinyl!!! Check it out!!

Day 12 of 30 Day Creative challenge

Well its been a very long Monday...But lucky for me my students were still asleep today!!! Anyways i needed a quick gift for a co-worker. So I made these fun Zebra print black and white thumbtacks!! Best I could come up with for today.

Day 11 of 30 Day creative challenge

While cleaning out my craft room I came across a wooden clipboard I had bought awhile back at Michaels. I decided to make it for my new classroom! I used Mod Podge and added scrapbook paper. I then sealed the clipboard also with Mod Podge!!! Mod Podge is awesome!! Need to find some new uses for it!!!!! So here's today's Project!!! Let me know what you think!!!

Day 10 of 30 Day Creative Challenge

Today's project was simple. I had a bunch of plastic red plates that I had bought at Walmart for $0.25 a pack!! (What a deal let me tell you!) So I decided to make another Cookie plate for Christmas. I love the saying on it!!!! But while working in my craft room today I found mouse poop!!! YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So now I'm on a mission to clean out and organize my craft room as well as the rest of the house! My brother-in-law is in the Marines and just got Stationed in North Carolina!! He's just over an hour away!! So I know we will be having a visit in the near future!! Guess my house needs a good fall cleaning!!! Now to only get rid of the mice and keep them out!!!

Day 9 Of 30 Day creative challenge

While at school today I was thinking of ways I could jazz up my desk and items on my desk!! The first project I decided to work on was my binder clips! I use them for everything!!! and the black is soooooo boring!!! So I added some scrapbook paper with a little Mod Podge and an easy way to transform some of the items I use every day at school!!! I will sure be making tons more of these sets for the holiday season!!!

30 Days of Creativity Challenge

Ive found a 30 day Creativity Challenge by Kendra Wiggins and Michelle Van Etten
The goal is to post a new creative item each day!! So I'm going to try and see what I can create for the next 30 days!!! Well since it is day 4 I better get posting



I made this Dry Erase board as a birthday gift for a friend!!! Super easy to make!! I took a picture frame and added a piece of scrapbook paper behind the glass. Then I used a dry erase maker and wrote on the glass!!! How easy is that!!!!





School also started this week so I decided that I needed a sandwich container that was all my own!!! I bought the container at walmart for $1!!! That's right I said $1!!! Then I used my Cricut to add my initials and a cool frame!

These are items I made this week. I'm going to play around with my Cricut today to see what else I can create for today!!! I hope you enjoy all of my creations!!!
