Hello All,

Since this is my first time ever making something for a teacher as a Mom, I really wanted to do something nice.  I am very grateful for son’s teachers, since they made it fun to learn something new. My son is over the moon the things I made for his teachers.

For Teacher W I made her the following things

And this lovely Card

Hello All,

Today we are using the three R’s, you know Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Well not really recycle, its more of an up-cycle. I am reducing trash by reusing it and up-cycling it. Which in a way its kind of like recycling it… right? HAHAH I guess not. Any whoo I have made a video about it. Which you guys can check out here below:

For Materials and other Measurements please see below:

Materials Used to create the above photo are:

• Card Sketches For Paper Crafts by PaperCrafts
• Ruler
  Fiskars Cutting Tool
• Recollections Paper Navy Blue 12 x 12 inches (2)
• Recollections Paddywack Papers 6×6 inches (3)
• Me&My Big Idea Baby Boy Mambi Sheets 12 x 12 inches (1)
• Domino Pizza Bag 12 x 10 inches
• Baby is from Too Cute by Jessica 5 x 4 inches
• Boy Blocks where created by me on the silhouette they are 2 x 2  inches
• Sliver Flat Back Pearls (3)

Measurements:

• Recollections Paper Navy Blue 12 x 12 was cut 11 and half inches by 9 and half (11.50 x 9.50)
• Recollections Paddywack Papers 6×6 inches had 3 different papers. Two where cut at 3 by 4 inches and one was cut 2 an half by 4. (Two 3 x 4 and one 2.5 x 4 inches)
• I originally plan to use Misskatescuttables but ended falling in love with the Baby is from Too Cute by Jessica. You can find it here www.toocutebyjessica.com/item_877/Baby-New-Year-2016.htm (he was cut five inches by 4 inches (5 x 4 inches)
• The boy Blocks where created by me on the silhouette they are 2 x 2  inches
• Then I used three sliver Flat Back Pearls that I had gotten at Michael’s out of the 75 cent bin.

Well after showing off my mad crafting skills on the card I was asked by the Queen Bee to use bee decoration throughout her shower. After looking at some stuff on Pinterest this is what I was able to provide for her.

Overall the cost of the décor I made came out around less than $15 which is 100% better then what some of the online store were going to charge her for the same thing.

 

 

Hello All,

Yes, yes I’m alive. I know it’s been a while but I have to tell you we all have been sick here in the Vasquez home. Goodness what has it been a month? Yeah that seem about right. This nasty cold has been ping ponging back and forth like a mucus ball. This has been the first day in weeks I have felt great. The cough is hanging on me like dead weight on a hot day. But just the shear fact I can sit up and take in nourishment is a blessing.

But that being said my mind has been firing away while I laid in bed. When I was able to hold a pencil I jot down some ideas. And this is what I came up with. A simple 10 minute Valentine’s Day card using what I had at home. Most of which I got from dollar bins at Target or the dollar Tree.

You can make this just using weight card-stock some stamps and some foam dots. It really wasn’t all that hard. Take a look how I put it tighter and the end result photos.

Enjoy!

Hello All,

I am finally over my cold…. well sort of. I still have a bit of a cough that is hanging on. I will say I am much better to make a video on the 12 days of Christmas swap that was going on over at http://myscraproom.ning.com/.
