Happy Monday!!!

Today is "Manly Monday" on the MCT blog. I used the new Note Card Holder Die and made a couple fun back-to-school note holders. I used the school colors, team name, added initials, and post-it notes to the inside. I added the "eagles" team name with the Alpha Pack Stamp Set. The initials were cut out with the Uppercase Fun Dies.

Happy Wednesday!!!

Happy Monday!!!

Today is "Cook and Craft" Monday over on the My Creative Time blog. Usually on Sunday I prep lunches for the week. One of my favorite things to have for lunch, right now, is chicken salad on fresh pita bread. I found this video on YouTube a couple months ago and started making it. It tastes so much better when made fresh. They freeze great too! I now make 2-3 batches at a time.
 

They are super yummy!

Today's project was a quick first day of school card for my nephew's new teachers. I made two, to go with the post-it holders that I made last week. You can see those here. Can you believe that the summer is almost over?

Happy Monday!!!

Today is "Made in Minutes" Monday over on the My Creative Time blog. I thought I would make a couple quick Post-It note teacher gifts.  They only took me a few minutes each. I have a video showing how to make the cover here. The rest of the products I used are listed below.

Happy Wednesday!!!
Today is "What a Treat" Wednesday over on the MCT blog. Z starts kindergarten in August and so I thought I would make him and his friends a treat for their 1st day of school. He loves Spider-man, so when I saw these pencils I knew they would make a great 1st day of school treat.

I placed two pencils in each treat bag and then topped them with an oval tag. I cut the ovals out of kraft card stock with my  Scalloped Stitched Oval Dies. I stamped the pencil background with the pencil stamp, using kraft ink, from the Write On Stamp Set. The sentiment is from the same set. 

Happy Tuesday!!!

Hey twiney friends! Today is my day over on the Timeless Twine blog. So.... with all the kiddo's going back to school, I'm in "school" mode. For today's project I made a book mark. I cut 6 - 26" length pieces of twine, two of each color.  Then I strung them through, folded them together, in half, and knotted them. Then I did a fishtail braid. I braided the twine until it was the same length as the bookmark and then knotted it and snipped the ends off, so that they were straight.

 Below are the twine colors we were challenged to work with this month. I used three of the five.
You could also make these for your Filofax/planer. Just punch holes in the left side of the bookmark/tag and add it to your planner.

Today is Inspiration Wednesday over on the My Creative Time blog. I used this card for my inspiration. I really liked the green background. So I thought I would make another  thank you "teacher" card. Do teachers ever get sick of apple stuff? I taught high school for 5 years, but didn't get much apple stuff. I would think after a lot of years though, I might have. Anyway... I really like how it turned out.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

I have one last back to school project for you today.

I actually saw the idea for this on Jill's blog. I thought it was so cute and I knew that I wanted to make my sister in law one for her desk at school. 

Jill put books in her box, but I thought it would work great to hold pens, pencils, scissors, and rulers (ha!). I found some round glass candle votive's (4"tall x 4"diameter) at the .99 Store, I bought three of them. They fit inside the box perfectly and each one can hold something different.  

Want to know how to make them!?!

I bought the rulers at the .99 Store. They come 4 in a pack and I needed 6 packs. You will need 42 - 6" rulers, so you will need to cut each ruler in half. I used my jigsaw, to cut them, but a skill saw or table saw would work too. 

Once all my pieces were cut, I hotted glued them to my box. You can also use wood glue to attach them. I had hot glue, so that is what I used. I used 15 on both the front and back (30 total) and 6 on each side/end (12 total), so overall I used 42 rulers. Some of the rulers had holes in them, so that is why I added the ribbon along the bottom, it was to cover the two row of holes.

The black board (Stitched 3x4 Journal Die) and letter dies (Lowercase Fun Dies) are both from My Creative Time. The chevron apple cut is from the Silhouette store.

Wood Box - Michael's
Ruler's - .99 Store (4 in a pack, 6 packs needed)
Ribbon - Joanns
Lowercase Fun Dies
Stitched 3x4 Journal Die
Chevron Apple Cut - Silhouette Store

I love how it turned out, I sure hope my SIL does too!

Next week is new release week for My Creative Time. We will be sneaking peaking projects all week and then Friday is the release blog hop! It's another super fun release! I cannot wait to show you my projects!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
