It's Rachel's Time to Create!

My daughter Rachel is the special guest today!

 

She has a fun project that she made all by herself using goodies from Clear Scraps!

 

{please excuse the red marks. I forgot to photograph this before her teacher graded it. - oops!}

 

Rachel is not into scrappin' like I am - (sad face).

 

She'd rather listen to One Direction ...

 

 

Go to a movie ...

 

 

or shop.

 

 

 

But a girl must do her homework....so...here's her creation.

 

Rachel's spanish teacher assigned the class a project where they all had to make a book and write an orginal story.

 

The story is all in espanol and is about a Little Owl's first day of school. She used Clear Scraps 6 x 6 chipboard album and Nikki Silvil's School is Cool collection.

 

Rachel was so excited to get an "A" on this project! Several students even commented on how cute her book is. It's always good to have a mom with scrapbook supplies in the house right? (smile)

 

If your kiddo ever needs supplies for their school projects, be sure to check out the Clear Scraps store for loads of fun products.

Road Trip and It Kits

Happy 4th of July everyone!

I've got a fun project for ya today! Summer is the perfect time for a Road Trip, so I've made a fun gift set that you can give to the kiddos when you set out on the open road.

I made this project using the fun new "It Kits" dies from Lifestyle Crafts. I also used the adorable Nikki Sivils - "Exit Here" paper collection.

This one is called the "Label It" Kit. It's full of fun shaped dies that you can used for altered projects, card making, and scrapbook layouts.

Don't forget to decorate a water bottle to go along with this set too.

You can fill the bag with crayons, a coloring book, a granola bar, chewing gum, or whatever makes your kiddos happy out on the road.

Remember - you can always save 20% Off on the Label It Dies using

PROMO CODE - "COKIE" at http://lifestylecrafts.com.

These dies work in the Big Shot, Epic 6, Cuttlebug, and all leading die cutters.

A Little Lunch Bag

Happy Wednesday ya'll. It's a good day for me! My camera finally arrived back from Nikon yesterday. {Yay me!}

I've got a fun project to share with you! I made some fun goodie bags for the students that I mentor. Can't wait to give these to them. This one is made with the adorable Nikki Sivils "School is Cool" kit. {and school is really cool here in my classroom} :)

I added a fun little twist to my bag. Check out the mini pencils. I added stickers from the kit to the front of them. And I love the blue gingham ribbon that I added to the handles. 

Here's a close up shot of the front. Love the ruler and the cute little lunch box. 

Here are more "School is Cool" projects that I've done recently. Love this kit! :)

Teachers Rock!

Before I get into the project details I wanted to send BIG hugs to my teacher buddies - Lisa & Denise for letting me borrow their cameras this week. You ladies Rock!!!

My brand new Nikon camera is not working...sigh...so I'm having to ship it out for repair. Technology just does not like me lately :-(

Now on to my project...I have many crafty enablers. One of them is the wonderful Julie Tucker-Wolek. She always has some adorable projects made with Nikki Sivils' products.

After seeing the "School is Cool" kit I knew I had to get it and make something fun! So here's my very first Nikki Sivils project!

Thanks for the inspiration Julie.
