Glitter Queen 3 day hop - Day 1

Hey guys!  I'm proud to be one of Dawn's GLITTER QUEENS!  This month a few of us are getting together and putting on a three day hop.  Hopefully this hop will inspire you to get crafty!  There are many talented ladies in this hop!  Hopefully you came on over via Anji's blog.  If you are here just to visit me (aw, you're so sweet!) you can start off at our head Queen's page (That's DAWN!)

I will be using some paper that was in the Sale-a-Bration promotion.  A lot of people have gotten this as a free reward so I'm going to show you how to use it!  If you didn't make a Stampin Up purchase during SAB, no worries, I will be giving away some paper during this hop!  Read on for more!

Here is my 1st project, perfect for today... ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONALS DAY!!!

Here are two post-it note holders.  I got the idea from Anji Juda's blog.  

Simply decorated them with the dsp, Tagtastic stamp set, Crumb Cake ink,  a few punches, and rhinestones.

Packaged them up with SU cello bags and a mini gel pen from the dollar store.  These are going to go to the gals that work in the office at my school. :)

How about some BLOG CANDY?!

I will be giving away everything needed to make this project!  Post it pad, pen, punched die cuts, rhinestones, and of course the paper!!!  Not only that, I'm giving away everything needed to make all the projects I'm showcasing for this entire 3 day hop!  You need to come back tomorrow and the next to see what else you'll be winning. :)

Girl Scouts Teacher's Appreciation and Mother's Day craft

The best thing about the Cricut is that it has both elaborate and easy cuts/paper piecing.  Some of them are so easy that a child could do it!  Last week (and this week) I will be sharing these crafts with my Girl Scout troops so they can give it to their favorite teacher and their Mom.  All I did was cut and score everything for them and they layered and glued everything themselves.  The older kids (4th and 5th grade) made these last week and it was a huge hit!

Pink tulip for Mom and an apple for teacher!

The post-it note holders were just 3.25"x6.5" scored at 3 1/8" on both sides.  They fold up perfectly to hold half a pad of post-its.  After the kids were done writing a message to their Mom and teacher on the inside, I packaged them in a clear envelope for them.  

I will be doing something a little bit simpler with the 5 and 6 year olds today, so stay tuned!

Administrative Professionals Day

I made these cute post-it note holders for the ladies in the office at both of the schools I work at.  They were so easy peasy to make.  I needed to make a TON, so I didn't want to be worrying about covering coasters or binding anything.  Just take a 3.25"x8" piece of card stock, fold in half, crimp the top, and decorate.

Super easy post-it note holders

The best part is that these are mini-sized so I used up all of my bigger scrap pieces.  Stampin Up's punches (circles and scallop circle) makes an easy embellishment.
