If you are looking for the Fantabulous Cricut Crawl click HERE

It's Teacher Appreciation Day at Cooking With Cricut and that also means it's time for challenge 84!!!! This week the challenge is to create a card or gift for your favorite teacher and let them know that you care! Well, my daughter has a wonderful preschool teacher and I figured this challenge was the perfect opportunity to make a gift for her!

The below project comes from a tutorial that I purchased from Inking Idaho, one of my favorite tutorial sites. She does amazing work with paper and I only wish I could come up ideas like this - well maybe I could but why when I can make her fabulous ideas!

Enjoy my project!








This desk organizer will be perfect to house those extra pencils and scissors and notes that are lying around the room. I added my own touch to the creation by make the blue inserts on the left and right dividers. This way she has a storage place for smaller objecs like rubber bands or paper clips, as well as making it easier to store pencils and pens. I even added labels to each divider to give her an idea of what she could use the organizer for.

The labels were cut using the A Child's Year Cricut Cartridge and the design on the blue cardstock inserts and backing were punched using a Martha Stewart border punch.

Well, I hope you enjoyed my project. Now it's your turn to upload your own teacher card or gift to Cooking With Cricut!

War Binder

We are now into August and I have been thinking a lot about the fact that school is coming. I have been homeschooling my daughter for the past year and a half. She is now going to go to a Christian school in the fall for junior high. I can't believe that she is in 7th grade already! I am both sad for me and excited for her. One of my favorite things about homeschooling, besides having my daughter home with me everyday, was using my Happy Planner for lesson planning. I love my lists and seeing my week planned out on paper. So, I was thinking through how to make a good use of my Happy Planner this coming year. I a blog post on how to set up a  War Binder . I looked into this War binder thing a little more closely and decided that that is exactly what I wanted to do with my Planner. I spent a lot of time looking around on FB and Pinterest to get ideas and eventually just decided that I just needed to start it.  I have struggled with making time for Bible Study and prayer ...

Let's Scrap - Friends Forever

Since moving away from my home town I don't get to see my old high school/college friends very often. There was a core group of us that hung out beginning in high school and we are all friends still. The one friend that was responsible for all of us meeting and ultimately becoming friends was getting married. It was so fun to all be back together for an evening. What was also fun was seeing all of our children together. Definitely one of those sentimental moments that needs to be scrapbooked and kept for all time! Let's Scrap has a fantastic sketch up on the blog that was perfect for these pictures. This sketch included a fun element: booklet. At first I had some trouble figuring out how to do this but then it became clear. I hope you enjoy the layout and the booklet as pictured for you below. I decided to use the left side of the layout. And I hope you are inspired to try this fun element on your next layout! The Sketch: My Take (on the left side of the...
