Die Cuttin' Divas Back To School Challenge

Around my neck of the woods school has been in session for over a week now!

My grandchildren both love their teachers and seem happy to be back.

Some of you may still be enjoying summer, but it won't be long and everyone will be carrying their backpacks and lunches.

The challenge this week over at Die Cuttin' Divas is a Back To School.

.

I took the opportunity to use this challenge to make something for my grandchildren to take to their teachers on the first day of school.

This cut file is by Jamie Cripps. It is called TEACHER TWO SHELF STORAGE ORGANIZER and is available at the Silhouette Design Store here.

I filled this organizer with a pencil sharpener, an apple shaped sticky note pad, red checking pencils to correct papers with and some regular No. 2 pencils. 

Supplies used: card stock - white, black, red, 2 shades of green; patterned papers were scraps from school papers I had; Silhouette Studio cut file; twine.

Now pop on over to Die Cuttin' Divas and see all the fabulous inspiration the rest of the design team has come up with.

Hope to see you playing along with us!!!!

Teacher Gift - Insulated Water Tumbler

I wanted to share with you a teacher gift I created for my grandson's teacher.

I purchased a case of colored tumblers from Amazon. Here is the link. The colors are fabulous, I was happy with the quality and for just a little over $3 a piece, they make an inexpensive little gift.

I put some tissue paper in so the photo would turn out better. My daughter is going to fill it with some little gifts.

I used three different fonts to create the wording in my Silhouette program.

I used Ariel Black,  LD Letter Jacket and SW Par-tay Thyme.

The school colors are blue and white and the mascot is a mountain lion so they put a paw print on everything.

I used Design ID #75727 for the paw print  and Design ID #32640 for the superman shield, both from the Silhouette store.

Supplies used: Insulated Tumbler Cups - Amazon; Vinyl - www.expressionsvinyl.com; Silhouette Studio cut files
