It's time to get schooled!

 

I wanted to use my new cactus washi tape so I made the teacher a cactus card.

 

 

 All of the papers I used are scraps even the card base.

 

I cut the cactus with Cricut's Southwest cartridge. I used fuchsia Stickles to make the, "flowers".

 

I used alphabet stickers to add, "Teacher" which I got from Connie's Crafty Cart.

I decided to make another peek-a-boo card.

After coloring my image I inked the edges and layered it onto a scrap of red cardstock. The black and white checked paper is actually from my Imagine printed a few years ago and still in my stash.

Now for my project.

 

I call this my, "Bottle of Cheer". I started with an empty Triple Sec bottle and painted it. The first step to painting glass is to give it a good coat of Paint Adhesion Medium first. I have not been able to find this item locally, I got it from Plum Purdy.  It is listed under the "sealers and mediums" link. The best way to apply it is with a sponge.

 

 

I also used a sponge to apply the paint in a variety of different colors.

 

The stamped, "centers" of my flowers are from Unity Stamp Co., their, "feel better soon" kit. After stamping my sentiments I cut them out using my Spellbinder's circle and scalloped circle dies. I also cut the other layers of the, "flowers" using bigger scalloped circle dies. The papers are Japanese craft papers that my kids brought me. I used wooden skewers painted green for my, "stems". Added a die cut butterfly and a bow to finish it off.

 Up next is Ashley.

Recipes:

"Thank you" card":

The center area was colored with a Gelato then I added some texture paste on the corners with a stencil. After the paste was dry I used a mini distress ink pad to add some color. Then I added some Imaginisce jewels and a piece of twine.

"Twist and Pop" Card:

I got the directions from: You Tube.

Turkey images from: Ewe - N - Me Printables.

I added some jewels to the sentiment panel to hide the glue dots under the vellum.

I added some twine to help hold them closed while they are traveling through the snail mail system.

The cards are a whole lot easier to make than they look, please give them a try.

I am entering these cards into this challenge:

I used a picture of my sister and I having Afternoon Tea on our recent long, long trip to Michigan to visit family. I have more pictures to add in the future, I think that I am still recovering from that long, long trip. For the page opposite the picture of us, I printed out the lyrics to the song, "Sisters" from, "White Christmas".

 

For the cover I used watercolor paper, I used watercolor paint to color the background then I used a background stamp on top of the paint, added some washi tape, title and a couple of stick pins.

 

After I cut all of my pages I used my Cinch to punch the holes and bind them all together, added some jewels and ribbons.
