If you've come from visiting Brenda's blog at Brenda's Scrappy Blog you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our Fantabulous Cricut Crawl, start HERE
In honor of Back To School time, we're calling our second Fantabulous Cricut Crawl "Button Up For School".
Each Design Team member will be featuing an original project featuring a button AND a Cricut cut somewhere on the project. Make sure to check out each DT member's blog for some awesome inspiration! There will be prizes along the way at our DT members' blogs, AND there will be a grand prize up for grabs at FCCB for one participant that submits a project meeting the "Button Up For School" challenge criteria! How fun is that?
Here's my project. Every year I make new desk decor for my desk at school. As a Language Arts teacher I use colored pencils all of the time for a really innovative essay writing assignment that I use in class. Here's my new colored pencil holder that I made using the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge. I also added a button to go along with this week's challenge.
Here's a shot of the back of the pencil jar. I added more embellies to go along with the "color" theme.
I'm offering a prize to go along with the blog hop. Just comment below and tell me about your favorite school memory. The winner will receive this Xtra Large Martha Stewart Punch Set. It's perfect for Halloween projects. You will be entered Twice if you link a project up to the FCCB blog. Please tell me that you did in a seperate comment. You will be entered 3 times if you choose to follow my blog. The winner will be randomly picked next Wednesday. Good Luck!
I'm the last stop on the hop. When you're done hopping, make sure to link up your project to FCCB's Fantabulous Cricut Crawl post to be entered into the contest!
Happy Crawling!

Wow What Great RAK! I follow your blog
Favorite memory is when I was in the 5th grade and we had a field trip to Disneyland. I got to run around Disneyland with my best friend for about 4 hours without adult supervision. Back then you had a field trip buddy and as long as you stayed together and checked in on time you were following the rules.
What a super sweet project Angi! So colorful and your little apple looks so sweet...I want to take a big bite...YUMMY job!
I love the idea that you make a different pencil holder each year. I am in the process of becoming an elementary teacher and already have many ways that I would like to use the cricut in the classroom.
Your pencil jar is very sweet! TFS!
Love your jar and your PRIZE! I have been looking EVERYWHERE for that punch!! Thanks for the chance!
Like the pencil holder you made. My favorite memory of school is all the cute guys! I am also following your blog now. Have a great day!

cute project. tfs. favorite school memory is the dances.
i have been a follower for awhile and check daily to see what new idea you have posted.
cute project, my little man would love one of them on his desk, My fave memory is actually of walking to school with my best friend (it was kindie) we would dream about what we are going to do when we grow up. its funny now being a grown up and looking back on those conversations. xx
What a fabulous idea! I'm sure any teacher would love it! TFS and for the giveaway! :)
That is a cute idea for a pencil holder. My favorite school memory was in elementary school playing on the playground and waving to my mom. Our house was literally right next to the school, so at recess my mom would go out on the porch and wait for my class to come out so we could wave at each other.
Sooo stinkin cute!
Great project! I have tons of great school memories but one would have to be when we had a spanish dance. It was in the 3rd grade. So much fun.
Hugs,
Raven

Cute desk decor. So cute. My favorite school memory is from hanging out at after school and at lunch and being able to have an open campus at lunch in hs. Such fun times when with friends.
What a sweet, simple project idea!!! TFS!! I am a follower of your wonderful blog!
Cute project. My favorite school memory is when my 8th grade teacher (a nun) would get in trouble for roller skating in the hallway.
I am now a follower.
Great project and what a great prize!!!!
My fav. memory from school is when I was in 6th grade and they took 12 students to go in a trip to USA (I live in Costa Rica). So for us to go just with our teachers and live with a US family for almost 3 weeks was an unforgetable memory...and of course just the begining of a bunch of school memories.

And my favorite school memory is graduation!! ;)
Super cute idea! Love it! Thanks for sharing!

One of my favorite memories is when I was in the 3rd grade and we had to put on a luou production. We didnt have grass skirts and my mom came to save the day. She sewed grass skirts for all the girls. We were saved and I had a blast.
Thanks!

My first day of kindergarten was my birthday! I remember carrying my cupcakes and my pillow for nap time as my parents walked me to the front of the school. That was my favorite memory! I love your happy apple!!
My favorite memories where when we were marching in the half times at the football games. I was a flagtwiler (silks) and us girls had such a good time.
