Summer CD Challenge

Made CD Label with Click n Design and imported my own background. I scanned in SU!'s Flamingo paper so I could size it to what I needed and also because I didn't have enough paper to make 8 cd covers.


Inside cover: Wrote song titles over background paper using Microsoft Publisher and inserted small picture of the same photo used for CD label. I made a pocket for the cd by sewing it into place.


Cover size 5 1/2" X 5 1/2"

WHAT IS A SUMMER CD CHALLENGE???

My friend Jackie Carter puts together these great cd challenges. She basically comes up with a theme - summer in this case - and then comes up with certain criteria such as: finding a song with "ocean" in the title or content, a cruising song, song that evokes a special summer memory etc. Our title had to be a song lyric from the 5th song on our cd which for me happens to be Radio Song by REM.

It was a lot of fun putting it together and I'm looking forward to see what others have put on their CD.

End of the Year Teacher Gifts

Pattern: Butterick 4410
Aprons and purses made for both 6th grade teachers and Annabelle's teacher.


Pattern: Simplicity 3752
Annebelle went with me to the fabric store and she picked out all the fabric. I was a little hesitant about this combo but it turned out great! This one is for Mrs. Pannkuk.


Mrs. Arden's set.

Josie asked Mrs. Mock what her favorite colors were and she replied 'reds, oranges and yellows' which worked out perfect as we had already bought this fabric.

Cards - Spring 2009

Here's some cards I've made throughout April and May.


Cricut: Tinkerbell

For my friend Jeannine. We always have fun spotting owl and mushroom items because a while ago we noticed that what was once old is now new. We then joked how funny it would be if the 1970's owl and mushroom made a comeback and sure enough, they have!


Card made for the 6th grader movie basket they put together for a silent auction.

Cricut: Tinkerbell

These two cards went to Leslie and Bonnie. They are both fond of fairies. I also wanted to play with the Tinkerbell Cricut cartridge I bought. I love the silhouettes.

Annabelle's class basket for the silent auction was beach themed so I made a set for that as well.

Easter Cards 2009

I decided to try my hand at using vintage images for my Easter cards this year. I got them from Vintage Holiday Crafts and there were many to choose from.


My mom still has some authentic vintage Easter cards which was one of the reasons I was inspired to go this route this year. I just love how innocent they all look.
