Peyton's page

I just finished my SDU certification to teach and I thought I'd apply some of the principals that I learned to my new page. I don't journal near enough so I added some journaling. I used the rule of 3 in triangle placement.
I love that I got to use the pink and purple paper. Having 3 boys doesn't lend itself to too many pink pages. I pulled out the cricut and cut the flowers using the George & Basic shapes.

Coffee Cup gift "box"

I'm ready to get back to some scrapbooking but wanted to post one last gift "box" we'll be making in my upcoming class (December). Sorry for the dark picture. I took a 20oz. take out coffee cup with lid. Wrapped the cup in scrapbook paper, cut a scallop circle and slightly smaller circle for the lid. How's this for a "thanks a latte" gift. I'm thinking it will be perfect for a teacher, with some homemade cookies and a coffee gift card (starbucks) tucked inside.

Class Cards

This fall/winter I'll be having classes at the Mt. Si. Community Center and/or the Senior Center. At one time I taught preschool arts/craft and preschool science classes through the community center and I thought what a great place to have card making classes. I'll have 2 classes. But, December is still a long time away so I won't bore you with details here (yet!).
Here is a gift card and card combo that we'll do. I've spent quite a bit of time lately working on creating tags and cards. I've watched tutorials and taken a few classes to refresh and think I've come up with some great ideas. Here's the first-

More Tags....

I can't seem to get to the Holiday Tags..I'm still enjoying the summer ones.

Best Fishes was cut with the cricut wild card cartridge. The bike came from the pazzle. I'm not sure who did the image, I pulled it off the library. And the flower tag is a CTMH creation!

Tag-Mania

It's been a tag frenzie here! I'm teaching again at the Si View Community Center in the fall/winter and decided to do a tags and bags class. While the kids were in their last week of school I got to "taggin" and here's a few I came up with.

CTMH card

Today dealt me a double wammy-Not only do I not stamp, cards are not high on my creative list either. While doing some heavy duty office cleaning, I came across a CTMH paper pack that I bought years ago when I first started scrapbooking. I figured if I haven't used it yet I would add it to my garage sale pile. Then I had a moment and thought that the preprinted layout spaces would work great for a card. I pulled out my stamps and came up with this.

Making Cards

I've spent so much of the last few months with my cricut and all the costco demos that I thought it was time for something different. So, I pulled out my pazzle. Here is a quick walk through on making your own card. I promise video as soon as my demo work is over in a few weeks.

First you'll want to make a rectangle. Click on the rectange from the side tool bar and drag to any size. We'll resize the whole card when we finish.

Then you'll want to make your score line or as I call it a kiss cut line. Choose your kiss cut (+ sign on the tool bar) and take it to the top of the rectangle. Click and drag it down. To make it straight hold down the shift key.

Now, lets make sure that score/kiss line is in the center of the rectange. Select both the score/kiss line and rectangle. Then click on your justification tool and choose align center from the top tool bar.

While you have both selected go ahead and change the size. Click "C" which brings up the condense option. You'll want to choose 8.5 x 5/5 for a standard card. Then apply.

Save this as a templete for any size card you wish to make.

Enjoy!
