Teacher Appreciation Tags

Happy Saturday, everyone!  It's my day to post over at Pink by Design, and I have some teacher appreciation tags that I created to share with you today.  I think they will be great to have on hand all year to send little treats to the teacher as the year goes.  It will be nice to show my youngest daughter's teacher that she's appreciated all year round, I think.  Anyway, here they are:

All of the sentiments for these tags are from the new Pink by Design Love My Teacher half pint stamp set.  Aren't they so fun?  I used lots and lots of PPPR files for these tags.  Here's the list, if you're interested:

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Files:

• Layered Tags 2 Cutting Files (FREE this Week)
• S'mores Cutting Files
• Java Great Day Cutting Files

• Apple Picking Cutting Files

I created this card from one of the title files in the new School Titles Cutting Files set.  I wanted it to look like a real chalkboard, so I filled the blackboard part with a green pattern from the School Days Chalkboards Digital Paper Pack.  I love the look the pattern gives the card.  I added some ink and some doodles, and my card was all done.  I hope you like it!

Simply Love

Happy Thursday, everyone!  It's my day to post over at Pink by Design, and I have a simple little card to share with you today.  It only took me 10 minutes to make (it would have been a lot less if I didn't have so much trouble threading the twine through this little button).  HA!  Anyway...here's my card:

To create this card, I simply stamped this LOVE sentiment from Pink by Design's Say it Boldly Stamp Set in three different colors of pink ink and trimmed around it.  Then, I created an A2 sized card base out of patterned card stock and wrapped a little pink jute twine around it.  I secured the twine by tying a knot through a fun button (which really was torture!), and I added the sentiment with foam tape for a little dimension.  Then, my card was all done!  I love how it turned out.  It's nice to be able to create a quick card without firing up my computer or Silhouette machine every once in a while.

Don't forget about this week's challenge, going on now.  You can join in on the Round Out Your Summer challenge by creating a project using something ROUND.  You can find out all of the details and link up your project by clicking HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I'll be back tomorrow with some new files and a Friday Freebie to share.  Have a great day!!!

Design Team Day & Summer Challenge

Happy Wednesday, everyone!  It's my favorite day...Design Team Day!  YAY!!!!  Plus, I have some winners of the Summer Fun Challenge to announce. So, let's get to it! :)

I created this fun easel card using the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons (PPPR) Surf's Up Cutting Files set.  This title included the little half circle, so I just did some creative welding in Silhouette Studio to create the base for the easel card.  I added a shape from the PPPR Sentiment Spots 2 Cutting Files set so there would be a place to add a nice message.  That way, this card could be used for birthday, thank you, or just because.  I finished off the card with a little twine and some doodles.  

Here are the amazing projects the wonderful members of my Design Team created.  If you have a chance, please pop over to their blogs to leave them some sweet comments. :)
