Today I am showcasing some teacher gifts that I made. Some of these gifts were made for my friend's to give their kid's teachers.

The first gift is an 8x8 tile with vinyl on it.

I made these books for my friend's twins. She provided me the photos and I used school themed papers. I adhered the papers to chipboard and used my Bind-it-All to bind the books. HERE is a tutorial about making mini books with the Bind-it-All.

I had the twins write their names for me and I put the photo on my Silhouette program and traced it. I cut it out in vinyl and added it to the inside cover. HERE is a how I got the name in vinyl.

I printed this saying on laminated burlap and framed it. You can find a tutorial HERE.

My son's teacher is a runner. I got her a very nice water bottle from Under Armour. I put a K on one side....

and Runalicious on the other. Red is her favorite color!

For the Husker fan, I decorated a wine glass and a water bottle.

Which gift do you like best?

Hello and Welcome to the Frosted Designs The Gift of Giving Blog Hop!!

You should have arrived from HERE. If you found me first, please go to the BEGINNING so you don't miss anything!!! My DT Sisters are very talented!!

I used watercolor paper for the covers of my two Note Pads. I colored on the watercolor paper (sized to 3 1/16 x 5 1/16) with burgundy and gold gleatos.

I spritzed the watercolor paper with water and used a paintbrush to blend the colors.

As the paper dried, it flattened out.

Next, I used Tim Holtz Dot Fade stencil (from the Shades of Spring Kit) and some Molding Paste to add some texture.

I inked the edges with Mixed Media Peach ink and stamped some images on one of the covers.

I used some rub ons from the Enchanted Kit on the other cover. I have never been a fan of rub ons because they never seemed to work for me. I have to say I do like these rub ons - the color is very vibrant and they transferred to my cover pretty easily.

My covers are finished - now to turn them into note pads. I use unlined index cards for my paper. I punch the holes and bind the note pads with my Zutter Bind-It-All.

Here are my supplies!

I punched the covers first. I trimmed chipboard for the back cover and punched them as well. Next I punched the index cards. I punch about 10 sheets at a time.

I center the paper in the Bind-It-All and punch away.

I used 3/4" wires and trimmed them with my wire cutter to fit my note pads. First I put the paper on the wires, next the cover and finally the back. This way the pretty wires are in the front.

Once they are on the wire, I close the wire using the Bind-It-All.

I added a bit of ribbon to each and they are ready to give away!

Here are the note pads individually! I love making gifts for my friends - I hope I inspired you today!!

The word you need is: HAVE! Good luck!!

Thank you for joining us on this hop! Your next and final stop is CONNIE!

Your next stop is HERE.

Disney Pixar Blog Hop

Welcome to the Disney Pixar Blog Hop!

If you are looking for my Telling Your Story Through Scrapbooking Post, please go HERE!

If you love Disney Pixar and crafting, you came to the right place! We have an entire month of fun planned for you, with a new group of crafting bloggers every Saturday in June.

If you came here from Shawn's blog, then you are in the right place. If you just happened upon this Blog Hop, make sure to head over to Shawn's blog so that you see the full hop from the very beginning.

My friend is taking her children to Disneyland in a couple of weeks. She needed some autograph books for the kids.

I created these 5x7 books using chipboard for the cover and back, cardstock and my Zutter Bind-It-All. I covered the chipboard with paper and cut the Mickey and Minnie out using my Cameo. I used a font on my computer to create the Prince Thomas and Princess Caroline.

I put the year on the inside as I made it too big for the cover.

I filled the album with white cardstock. Typically, I decorate the pages on the inside with the characters, but in Disneyland the characters don't have a set autograph spot so it is hard to predict who you will see.

I put a little Mickey on the back.

For my next project, I decorated a visor:

I cut this Mickey head out of a red resin rhinestone sticker sheet from The Buckle Boutique. I used my cricut and the Disney Font cartridge.

I cut the sticker sheet rhinestone side down on the mat (and I tape clear packing tape all around the edges). I use the Deep Cut Blade set to 6 and Multi Cut set to 2. I slow down the speed to Medium, but sometimes the Gypsy has a mind of her own concerning the speed!!

We are planning a trip to WDW in November with the entire family - I am so excited!!! I can't wait to ride the new 7 Dwarfs Mine Ride!!

One of my favorite character memories is when my oldest was 9 or 10 and not really into the characters but his younger brother was. While waiting for Tyler to get his book signed, Kramer was standing with his arms crossed tapping his toe. Cruella De Ville came up and started harassing him asking him if he was "too cool" to see the characters - it was so funny!!!

What is your favorite Disney Memory?

Disney Mini Album (Creating Blog Hops Cafe)

Happy Saturday

and

Welcome to this months Blog Hop

with

The Creating Blog Hops Cafe'

This month we have made some Mini Albums to share with you. If you have just stopped by to visit with me, thank you and welcome, but please start at the beginning of the hop with our Hostess, Robin Lane with Create-A-Latte. We would not want you to miss any of these wonderful projects.

So, grab yourself a Latte', sit back and hop along with us as we share our projects with you.

For my project today, I made a Disney Mini Album/Autograph Book for my friend:

My friend is taking her children to Disneyland this summer. I wanted to make her an autograph book/mini album to take along. I have only been to Walt Disney World where there are set autograph stations. In Disneyland, you never know which characters you will see, so my friend did not want me to decorate the pages for each character. We decided to use white cards stock instead.

I wanted the pages to be big enough for a photo so I made the book 5x7.

I started out with my cameo using some Mickey images I found online and the font Walt Disney Script I downloaded from dafont.com.

Here is the cover and back. I painted the edges with black acrylic paint.

The inside has a pocket in the front of the album.

I used my Bind-It-All to bind the book together.

I included some small paper pieces in the pocket for notes.

Here is the inside of the back.

The back has Mickey Mouse on it as if he is saying "See you next time!"

I added some ribbons to the wires.

I am so excited for her kids to see this book!!!

This month we have a wonderful Sponsor, Jessica Wilson with Close To My Heart, and she has a fantastic giveaway to share with you today. Jessica is giveaway a Close To My Heart Paper Pack called Lollidoodle.

Jessica also has a wonderful deal running for the month of April for anyone that joins her CTMH Team in April will receive a Cricut Cartridge Collection of your choice for FREE with the purchase of your New Consultant Kit, that is a $99 value.

Baby Mini Album

I am so excited to be featured at The Buckle Boutique Blog today!!!

I made a baby mini album to give as a gift. I cut 4 pieces of chipboard into 5x7 rectangles for my pages. I covered each page with scrapbook paper and adhered them with ATG tape.

I used Rhinestone Adhesive Sticker Sheets from The Buckle Boutique for "baby" on the cover. You can get more information (or purchase some) HERE.

These are awesome - you can cut them in your Cricut Machine, Pazzles, Big Shot, Cuttle Bug and more! The crystals are gel so you can totally cut on a curve!!

I use my Cricut to cut my letters. I used my Gypsy to reverse the letters (you want to cut the paper backing side not the gel crystal side) and used my Deep Cut blade set to 5. I just popped them out of the cuts and peeled off the paper backing!

I used images from the Nursery Tail cartridge and my Cricut Imagine for the embellishments.

I cut my photo mats to either 4.25 x 4.25 or 4.25 x 6.25 to fit photos. I pop dot the embellishments in the corners to mom can slide the corner of the photo under.
