I took this idea from Cassandra (CTMH consultant) I thought these would be so cute for our preschool teachers. You can purchase Flakey Friends Here.

Santa

Ahh isn't he cute? Again this came from Cricut with Heart. Love it! Only now I wish I had a cuttle bug. EBAY here I come.

Ornament

I love Cricut with Heart blog, not only do they have great craft ideas but they give you directions on how to make these beautiful 3D crafts. So this allows me to try it and see if I'm able to make them. So if I can make them, then so can you!!!

Starbucks explosion box

I scrap lifted this Starbucks explosion box. I love following Cricut with Heart blog, they have the coolest 3D projects, not to mention the greatest cards.
I thought this would be a great gift for Ian's teacher. Also you could add a few more layers and create an album like for each flap. If you want some help on this email me deeblackbur1@gmail.com

Gobble, Gobble

I scrap lifted this cute card from another consultant. When I saw it I had to try and make one myself. Happy Thanksgiving to all my customers. I'm thankful for your business and support. Your commitment, your honesty, your dedication means a lot to me. I'm so very thankful of you all.

Tips:

• (Cut 7) 1 1/2" x 12" Pink cardstock from Lucy pack scored every 1/4" and accordion folded to make yo yo's. I also used a 1/8" hole punch and punched holes down one side every 1/2" to make the paper resemble lace.
• B&T Papers for Banner - Cut 7 banner covers using the cut on page 49 in Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge Book. I cut my banners at 6 3/4" and they fit perfectly on the banner chipboards.
• Top Borders - I used the Cricut cut that is a scalloped border with holes in the scallops found on page 64 in the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge Book (use the Font button) Cut 7 in Colonial White if possible
• I used 3" letters from the Cricut cartridge to spell "Welcome" in Colonial white
