Let your light shine card

I love this sentiment!

For this card, I used Core'dinations Black Magic paper as my background and sanded out the "light". I hand cut the lampshade and then folded it. The lamp base is actually an oil lamp from the Old West Cricut cartridge. I hid some cuts so it would look electric. The sentiment is from the Country Life cartridge. The alphas are by Authentique.

Mother's Day Cards

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there!

I think I have used every teeny, tiny scrap left of my crop and create kit.

Teacher Appreciation Week

It is staff appreciation week at my daughter's school. I love making these bulletin boards for the staff to show how much we appreciate their hard work!

I am entering this project at Cooking with Cricut. Their challenge this week is to make a teacher appreciation project with your Cricut.
I had trouble this year thinking of ideas but I did find this title and jungle idea online at Artsy Fartsy Mama.

Most of these wild animals are from The Create A Critter Cricut cartridge. The toucan is from Life is a Beach. The font is Birthday Bash. I picked up large google eyes and tried to make this board fun and bright. (This school is Kindergarten to Grade Four.) I braided jute as my "vines". The paw prints are from Mickey and Friends and they have the name of each school staff member. While I had a desk covered in this paper, I whipped up a matching card for the staff with scraps. Yay!

I hope they like it!
