Happy Summer! Teacher Gifts

June 16, 2014 By JulieK

Every year I try to make a little something “crafty” for the teachers at the kids’ school (links to previous gifts below)… As a teacher myself, I know how hard they work, and I like to share a token of our appreciation. I always chip in on the big class teacher gift… But that doesn’t cover the specialist teachers who work very hard too (says the music teacher :) ).

This year, everywhere you look, mason jars are “the thing” :) So, I found a cute printable tag (free printable here) and personalized it, cut it out, mounted on watermelon colored card stock and attached to these little 8oz mason jars that I topped with cut daisy lids and cute red/white paper straws. I filled them with some packaged drink mixes and some candies and the kids delivered them to school! That’s 24 adorable little gifts, just to show how much I love the teachers at the school!

Zutter Class ~ Spring Decor

April 4, 2013 By JulieK

I’m teaching tonight at Ink About It in Westford… I sooooo love this project!! It’s a Spring themed decoration that stands on its own.  Perfect for the mantle or the table (there’s patterned paper on the back as well, so it’s pretty from both sides!!).  The beautiful papers are by Carta Bella… Each panel is 4×8 and it will stand wherever you place it. There may still be a few spaces left if you’d like to join us!! 6:30 and it will be finished before you leave the class because everything is pre-cut for you!! If you have a Zutter, bring it, if not I always bring mine to share!!

Christmas Countdown Book

October 15, 2012 By JulieK

I am so excited to show you the book that we’ll be making in my next class at Ink About It in Westford, MA!! The class is on Thursday, November 1 from 6:30-about 8:30 and is just $25. Your book will be finished when you leave!! Bring your Bind it All if you have one, or just use mine when you get there, either way, you’ll go home with a completed project!

This month’s project is a Christmas Countdown Calendar using Authentique’s Festive line of papers… OMGosh, are they fabulous! The twine on the cover doubles as the holder that will make your book stand up without falling down… Here’s a sneak peek of the cover and a couple of the pages to give you an idea of what we’ll be making (it will actually be antique brass wires, but I wanted to put up a picture and only had black wires handy)

Boo! Halloween Centerpiece!

October 1, 2012 By JulieK

Oh, yes… I know… I posted a Halloween project last week too!! And, there’s still some space in that class if you’d like to make that BEWARE project! The class is Thursday evening from 6:30 til about 8 and you’ll have the project completely finished by the end of class!! Glitter! Need I say more??
Anyway, I have another Halloween themed project to share this week! The (very simple) tutorial will be featured on the Scrapbook News and Review Blog on Wednesday, but here’s a sneak peek!! Simple materials you probably already have around the house, and I don’t think it took more than 15 minutes to put together!!
