Creations With Christina

Teacher Gift

June 9, 2011

Hi Everyone,
Happy Thursday. I’m so excited, yesterday I signed up for “Summer Card Camp 2011” with Kristina Werner and Jennifer McGuire. It’s a 4 week program with two of my favorite crafty girls. The list of guest designers is amazing too. Ali Edwards, Nicole Heady (PTI), Nicole Magourik, and so many more. I can’t wait…You can find more information HERE.

Last night at the last minute I made Ethan’s teacher an end of school year gift. Today is his last day of 3rd grade and he’s so excited for the summer.

Here is what I put together…

I used these memo cubes from a Treasure Nest and they where so much fun to make. 

I just simply inked the edges of the box with Shabby Shutters Distress Ink, painted where the picture would go black to look like a chalkboard and then covered the top with October Afternoon pattern paper. Added some flowers and bling…DONE! Oh and I rolled the pencil with the same paper, but I didn’t do the whole pencil so it could be sharpened. 
Yep I put it in upside down, I fixed it though…

 Have a great Thursday and see you back here tomorrow.
Hugs,

    What a great teacher gift. I have a similar thing that my mom got as a gift several years back. She never used it, so I was trying to decide what to do with it. Thanks for the inspiration. Hugs, Jessica
