MPS Challenge #7: Hey Dad!

This challenge was to make something for Dad or with a masculine feel to it.  I used some paper from DCWV's Latte stack, the Top Note die from SU!, SCAL (for the word), and my Cuttlebug (with the traffic jam embossing folder). 

I think it needs something, I'm just not sure what.

MPS Challenge #6: Kids Craft, Too

This challenge was to make something with or for a  child.  I decided to cut some more vinyl (using SCAL) and personalize a magnetic dry erase board for my daughter's bedroom door.  This way we have a place to jot down quick notes or hang an important message.  I got the board at Staples for $1 at the beginning of the school year.  It's one of those "can't pass up" deals that are filling my crafting area.  You know the ones.   

Sorry about the pic.  I had a better one that I must have deleted.  I took this one after putting it on her bedroom door and the lighting in the hall is terrible. 

MPS Challenge #5: Teacher Appreciation Days

Sorry about the picture here...not sure why it's squished like that.  Anyway, this challenge was to make something for Teacher Appreciation Day (which is tomorrow!!!)  I had some hand sanitizer lying around, and since teachers go through this stuff like no one's business, I thought I'd personalize a bottle.

I used my Cricut Design Studio (because my Gypsy won't be here until Wednesday...kids got it for me for Mother's Day...YAY!!!), and welded the word teacher using the font on Wild Card.  The apples were cut from Create a Critter (have I mentioned I love this cart?).  Instead of cutting paper, I cut this from vinyl.  I love using my Cricut to cut vinyl...in fact, if you head over to my vinyl blog you can see some other things my Cricut has done for me.
