Teacher Gifts for Xmas 2010

If these look familiar it's because I made the same little desk caddies for my kids' teachers last year too. See HERE. These are made from Lauren Meader's template over at PTI. See HERE. And speaking of PTI, I can't wait until their November release! I think I say that every month. I can't believe all the cute sets and dies they come out with. I think I've really gotten my monies worth with this template.

This one is for my son's kindergarten teacher who was also my daughter's kindergarten teacher so we couldn't be happier. She is a great teacher and hopefully she will be there for our youngest one too. Stamp is Teacher Anya from TGF and paper is from October Afternoon. I used PTI's spiral note paper die and their School Time stamp set for the handwriting lines and the bus. I lightly penciled in the teacher's name and my son traced over it just to make sure her whole name would fit. You know how kids tend to squeeze the last letters in cause they run out of space. I decided to blur out the teachers' names in the photos.

This one is for my daughter's GT teacher who is so supportive and loving. My daughter really enjoys her class. Paper is from Imaginisce.

The last one is for my daughter's main teacher. She is strict but my daughter learns a lot from her about responsibility. I love this school paper from Crate Paper and really had to force myself to use it. I have to tell myself to actually use the paper I buy, not just stare at it.

I am still working on the gifts to place inside these little caddies. So much to do before Xmas!

Thank you for reading and have a great weekend!

So cute! You're sure making great use of the template. I never thought about that before, but teachers are the perfect recipients, you get a new one every year! Yes, I'm drooling over this month's PTI releases too. Argh, is it already mid-November?! I need to get started on my Xmas lists, and Xmas photo.

Snowman gift card holder

Hi! I was planning to post this last night but I was just too tired to write or think of complete sentences. It's been a busy week with the boys on Fall break and still trying to finish up a bunch of crafts. I have been trying to make some crocheted crafts to put in my Etsy shop and finally I'm done with one. It's a crocheted snowman that can hold a gift card or anything actually that is small enough to fit in the pouch. The pattern is designed by ChiWei Ranck of One Dog Woof and can be found HERE . Here's the little snowman with his arms folded over in the front to look like he is hugging the card. I added this fun card that I stamped. You can definitely add in a gift card too behind this card. The gift card reaches under his nose. This is how the little opening of the pouch looks. I hope I can make more of these little guys. These would be so cute for teachers and I think it would be easy to put a little wire throug...

nuts and bolts

Hello! Today I'll be sharing the last amigurumi I made during my crochet frenzy. I haven't been crocheting much recently except for this one little project I'm kind of procrastinating with. I really do love this last one because I think it came out really cute. This is a little crocheted robot designed by Bubblegum Belles . You can find the pattern HERE . Sometimes I purchase the patterns especially if they are really cute. But a lot of designers do list their patterns for free too on their blogs so I always check to see if they have a blog or not. It's also important to read their pattern listing too if you are purchasing to see whether they are for personal use or also for commercial use. Here is a different view of him. Happy that he is able to sit on his bottom. I actually cut out 2 felt hearts using a heart die, blanket stitched them together, and then hot glued the heart to the robot. I tried stitching one h...

Perfect Paper Crafting & Laura My Mind's Eye Pam Jenny Eva (Me!) Roxie Recently, I saw these layering tags dies and thought I really wanted those. I love the look of layered tags so I used my Perfect Layers rulers to make some with My Mind's Eye Happy Haunting papers. I have a tag die from Papertrey Ink so I used that as my smaller tag. I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...
