First day of Preschool LO!

I made this LO for my son's first day of preschool pics.  I used both the title and subtitle from Locker Talk cart, the paper, brads and ribbon are all from a school LO kit that I had and the cardstock was from my stash.

I'm entering it into the following challenges!

Crayon wreath

I made this wreath for my son's preschool teacher - I didn't get it done before Meet the Teacher night last night but his first day isn't until Tuesday, so I will get it wrapped up and we can take it along with her card, to her that morning! 

My son's class is the Busy Bees, so I used the bee from the 9 Months Lite cart, the glue, scissors, and crayon are all from Locker Talk cart and I can't remember where I ended up finding the font!  The ribbon and paper was all in my stash, the hoops (6" and 8") I picked up from Michaels and the crayons I had in my school supply box!

I first saw a similar wreath on Amber's blog - as soon as I saw it, I knew it would be perfect for my son's teacher to hang on her classroom door! Thanks so much Amber for the inspiration!

My Teacher

My son starts preschool in 2 weeks, so I made his teacher a card last night, that he can "sign" to tell her how excited he is for the start of the new year!  I'm also making her a gift to go with it, that I'm hoping to finish up this weekend - so you will be seeing that soon! 

I love using primary colors when it comes to school cards/LOs, all the paper for this card were from my stash!  I used Locker Talk for the 'My Teacher' sign and CTMH Art Philosophy for the card base and front/inside layers - I LOVE this cart!  I embossed the front layer with my Cuttlebug using the Cuttlebug embossing folder 'Traffic Jam.'  I wanted to add some twine but I didn't have the right color - it will be here soon though, with the order I placed for their newest colors that I couldn't resist over the weekend!  :-)

And when I went to make an envelope to go with it, I realized that even though I have my 12x24 mat to make bigger envelopes, I don't have any 12x24 cardstock - oops!  So I will add that to my list of things to get so I can get an envelope made soon for this card!  I had intended to stamp the inside of the card and the envelope with a small apple but I didn't have one - so I will either cut one with my cricut or see if I can get lucky and find an apple stamp in the dollar bin at Michael's!

I left the inside blank so we could write a message to his teacher and he could sign it!

One more for the Chatter Scene challenge - I've really enjoyed making these!!  :-)  This one will either be for my parents or my MIL, I haven't decided yet.  So I've got to make one more Easter card and then I can decide!

I found this purple and green paper and that decided my color scheme for this card!  The goodies I won on Getting Cricky with K Andrew a couple of weeks ago came in the mail yesterday so I scooped them up and took them to my scrap room with me!  When they happened to match the paper I wanted to use, it was perfect!
