Teacher's Appreciation Week Day 3

It's crunch time at the school I work at...final projects, grades, graduation ceremonies, and end-of-year parties.  Quite frankly, the last couple of weeks (and the weeks to follow!) have been uber stressful on my co-workers.  I decided to show that I appreciate them by giving them a present every day this week for teacher's appreciation week.  On Monday I gave them their folder/stationery holders that I made last month (that post can be seen here).  On Tuesday I gave them each a pack of stickers (Lightning McQueen, Hello Kitty, and My Little Pony!) to cheer them up.  Today I gave them some hand sanitizers:

I used the tutorial from Rubber Red Neck Crafter on YouTube.  It's a great tutorial because not only does it hold B&BW hand sanitizers, but it fits the Victoria Secret ones too, which is what I used.  All the materials I used were scraps from previous projects (my scrap pile is getting too big!!!)

Here's a close up of one so you can see the sentiment I used: "You're a scent-sational teacher." LOL.  

A side view.  I'm sure this holder can fit all kinds of different sized bottles!  Little lotions, lip balm, and sunscreen come to mind.

Outlawz - Boxed in

I'll come back tomorrow with what I gave them for day 4! 'Till then!

May Guest Designer for Craft Your Passion Challenges - Torn/Distressed

Hey guys!  I'm guest designing for the entire month of May at Craft Your Passion Challenges!  Woohoo! I've been playing almost every week at Craft Your Passion, and I'm so honored that I get to play with the design team this month!

This week, the challenge is torn or distressed.  Here's my card:

Her name is Cirque and she is from The Paper Shelter.  I inked her up with Copics.  I ran my Tim Holtz distress tool all over the edges of the layers, then sponged on some brown ink.  Background paper is a mish mash of SU and DCWV.  Sentiment, punches, ink, and ribbon are all SU.

Isn't she soooo stinkin adorable?!  LOVE her! And she was tons of fun to color.

Entering this card into the following challenges:

AUD Sentiments - Anything

4 Crafty Chicks - Favorite Embellie (SU rhinestones!)

The Stamp Man - Favorite Technique (distressing)

Here's my first project using Sandy's digi called Shredder:

I thought he was sooo cool!  Inked him up with Copics.  Cut him out with my SU framelits dies.  All the card stock and ribbon was loose scraps.  I used SU punches for the leaves and the sentiment.  I just hand-wrote "Hoppy Blogaversary!"

I tried to get a close up of the texture I tried putting on him.  I used the blender pen to make him look bumpy.  There's a lot of dimension and texture on this card!  The frog, the dot embossing, the textured card stock, and the grosgrain ribbon.
