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!

Happy Summer!!!

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!!

Thanksgiving Treat Boxes

November 12, 2012 By JulieK

Oh, I LOVE Thanksgiving!! It’s my very favorite holiday of the year, with all the fabulous family time and none of the gift-giving stress that makes Christmas hard… Every year we travel to spend the day with family, and although I am very thankful not to have to clean my house, everyone brings “something” to the party, and I’m a terrible cook… No, really… I try hard, but I just don’t have the baking “knack” that my sister got… I keep saying that I’d be better if I had a “big girl mixer” you know… that beautiful KitchenAid mixers that I would LOVE to have… But honestly, I don’t know how much that would help… and I hate to spend that much on a kitchen appliance if it wouldn’t really help!! On the bright side, I am very crafty!! So, this year for Thanksgiving, I’m bringing candy filled treat boxes!! They are made very simply from one piece of 8.5×11 card stock and some fun little embellishments for the front… They are being featured on the Scrapbook News and Review blog where you can find a detailed tutorial on how to make them yourself…
