Whew another school year behind us.  I did my best not to shed a tear when “Little Boy,” finished his last day of kindergarten.  I will save those for later when “The Girl,” goes off to 7th grade.  I wish all of them could stay little a little longer but that just isn’t the way it goes.

We had awesome teachers this year.  Definitely not a bad one in the bunch.  I am grateful for all the work they do to help my children succeed.    There is one extra box for a our completely, fantastic bus driver.  Without her I would have been making a few extra trips to school for forgotten saxaphones and math books and probably made a trip or two to the office for my overly energetic little person. Below are the Cookie Towers I created a little thank you for everything they do.

I filled each box with a stack of chocolate chip chookies.  I wrapped the cookies in wax paper before I put them in to prevent the cookies from causing stains on the boxes.

“The Duff,” had a guy teacher this year.  I didn’t think pastel would do the trick for him so his box is black in gray in honor of his favorite football team.

You can cut the boxes with Sure Cuts a Lot using the file created by “The Frugal Crafter.”

I will post the digital stamp for the card tomorrow.

I use Inkscape to design and modify my SVG and SCUT files.  I also use it for digital layouts as well as my desktop publishing designs.  I wanted to learn how to make swirls for cutting as well as for my digital designs and so I did.  Once I learned how it easy it was [...]

I love to make paper doll die cuts.  For the most part I actually ask my 12 year old daughter to draw the faces on.  My hand is just not steady enough and on top of that I would absolutely never be happy with my freehand drawing skills.  I have found a solution called Peachy [...]

I have what we think is a new niece coming in a few months which means baby shower time.  I finally asked the other day if I could start planning for the event, as if I don’t already have a file full of baby shower ideas, and received the green light.  So don’t be surprised if you [...]

One of my favorite flowers is the Gerber Daisy.  I also like to make them using the Cricut.  This is a card I did with a gerber daisy.

My niece is another year older.  She is a crafter too so when I was at the HL the other day I loaded up on all sorts of craft projects for her.  My brother was less excited to see all the makers, glue, and paints that will be opened and used in house.  Well he [...]

I have been hunting for inspiration for a “Get Well Soon” card I have been working on.  I wanted some pretty word art to go with the rest of the card.  I came across Elegant Word Art by Bethany.  Her site is full of beautiful word art as well as digi layouts and other embellishments.
