Happy Thursday. I'm so excited, yesterday I signed up for "Summer Card Camp 2011" with Kristina Werner and Jennifer McGuire. It's a 4 week program with two of my favorite crafty girls. The list of guest designers is amazing too. Ali Edwards, Nicole Heady (PTI), Nicole Magourik, and so many more. I can't wait...You can find more information HERE.
Last night at the last minute I made Ethan's teacher an end of school year gift. Today is his last day of 3rd grade and he's so excited for the summer.
Here is what I put together...
I used these memo cubes from a Treasure Nest and they where so much fun to make.
I just simply inked the edges of the box with Shabby Shutters Distress Ink, painted where the picture would go black to look like a chalkboard and then covered the top with October Afternoon pattern paper. Added some flowers and bling...DONE! Oh and I rolled the pencil with the same paper, but I didn't do the whole pencil so it could be sharpened.
Yep I put it in upside down, I fixed it though...
Hugs,
Super nice gift. I am sure Ethan's teacher will love it.

ReplyDeleteI just checked out the online classes you signed up for. Sounds like fun, but do you have to be available at certain times to see the class? I'll be away on vacation most of those dates.
