New school year!

Hi friends,

I recently won (yay!) some cutting files from The Cutting Cafe and got to chose this gorgeous file called - pencil treat cup card. My son started a new school year and we're very excited for this year in Grade 4 and I decided to make this file as a hello card for his teacher.

I did not read the instruction sheet that accompanied the file so once I started cutting the card I realised that I should have increased the size as I originally wanted a standard card size.

But it actually turned out really cute at the smaller size (and I got to save some paperclips to use for another project!). I cut out two small apples from left over scrap cardstock and added them to the card with some foam dots.

The pencil treat cup card also comes with some sentiment sayings, the #2 and pencil scribbles.

I did watch the video that is on The Cutting Cafe website to see how to create the section to get the paperclips or treats in and out the card. This is such a fun idea!

Class Christmas Treats!

Hi Friends,

This year is almost over and there is so much still to be done before our Christmas break. I'm still being preoccupied by my beautiful puppy so things at home are getting half done when I can grab a quick moment!

When dinner was cooked, my son was doing his homework and the pup was having a quick snooze I managed to create and finish the small treats for my son's class - luckily there are only twelve treats I had to make.

I used the free Candy Cane Mouse file I downloaded a while back from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons - it is such a cute file and I loved that it has a candy cane as that is what I am giving the kids.

I opened the file in my Silhouette software, used the offset feature to add a white border around it, added my registration marks, sent it to my printer and then cut it in my machine.

 I attached the candy canes with a small circle foam piece from Recollections which fit perfectly.

Completed and ready to hand out next week!

Merry Christmas

Halloween class treats!

Hi everyone,

I'm a bit late in updating this to my blog but I just wanted to share the cute little treats I made for my sons class.

I used the file 'Creatures of the Night' by Too Cute by Jessica with print and cut and added the 'From Luke' underneath. The little envelopes were from Michaels and the washi tape I had in my stash. I added a Halloween pen, (also from Michaels) and 2 candy treats.

Thanks for visiting today!

I hope to see you soon for our 'Think Christmas' Blog Hop this coming Saturday (7th Nov).

Thank you Teachers!

It has been a wonderful year at my sons school and we've been lucky to have two AWESOME teachers in his class. I made these gift card boxes for them with a neat tag to thank them for making my sons first year so SPECIAL.

I used my Cameo to cut out the boxes from a SVG file from the Silhouette store and I designed the tags and cut them out on nice gold cardstock

I found a suitable font on my computer and used the sketch pens to write the wording

Inside I added a nice lip gloss from the Bath and Body Works store and a gift card from Chapters, my favourite bookstore. 

Enjoy your two weeks break Mrs B and Miss P and see you in July!
