{Personalized} Teacher Classroom Wreath

{Click here for the T.G.I.F. Linky Party}

During my craft show days I created lots of personalized items including many of these {personalized} wreaths for teacher's classrooms.  I proudly say that lots of area teachers have one of these personalized wreaths to grace their classroom door or inside their class room or something similar.  I try to make each one a little different using various ribbons and embellishments or changing the color of the banner board {border} color…..but this design/layout is the most popular including the banner, 2 apples and chalkboard. 

Now….I only create these by special request and had a kindergarten teacher contact me to create one for her classroom this year -- 

I hope you don't mind me sharing…

Each wreath features wood cut outs *by Mr. CJToo* and I hand paint everything you see (except the chalkboard I purchase at the craft store) I also do lots of doodling with my paint brushes and black marker.  I attach the finished wood to a grapevine wreath using wire.  I also like to give my finished projects a glossy look so I use a high gloss sealer.

Big Hugs!

Back to School & 1st Day of School Goodie Bags

Hi everyone -- I know by now you are a bit pooped from going through the entire blog hop but I thank you for hanging in with us and hopping over here to CJToo's blog…as you participate in our monthly Pink-alicous Blog Hop spotlighting My Pink Stamper's® Products!.:)

A little about me!
My name is Tracy, aka Craft Junkie Too (I call myself CJToo for short).

I live in Texas with my hubby and 2 boys who are very supportive of my crafty side.
I work full time for a state of Texas facility that is home to close to 350 people living with developmental disabilities.  Even though I work in the administration office and not directly "hands on"... it doesn't matter -- the people I serve have my ♥ each and every day!
I am trilled to be on my 2nd term as a Pink Designer for Robyn, My Pink Stamper.  I fully support her in her business ventures and love designing and creating with her products.  I had the privilege of meeting Robyn at the Texas Stampede in March 2011 and I can tell you she is as sweet in person as she is online.  :) :)

A little about my crafting style -- I love to doodle, shade, ink up, and make cute faces.  I wouldn't call myself a girly - girl but I do love the girly stuff for the most part lots of pinks, greens, and fun colors.  My projects will most always be bright colors, doodling with black and white markers/pens and lots of specialized projects as when I make a project as a gift for someone I think about what that person likes, is "in" to or what would make them happy.  I also love to personalize my projects and make them unique.

Welcome to the August edition of the Pink-alicous Blog Hop!!

First Layout with Cricut

Hi everyone! I wanted to tell you about a brand new message board that I have found to be a LOT of fun ~ it's called ~ http://www.fromctoshiningc.com/ ~ I recommend that you check it out when you have some time and tell them that CraftJunkieToo referred you.

The board is dedicated to crafts, creating, sharing and designing as well as a place for friendships, support and sharing. They also have some fun challenges to bring out our creative side. Here is a layout I did for this weeks color challenge. Every Tuesday is Color Challenge Tuesday. Our Color Challenge coordinator which is Robyn, The Pink Stamper gives us 3 colors plus an accent color to create something with (card, page, etc.) so this week I participated in my very first challenge. I am proud of how it turned out. Of course, the picture does not capture the details.

For this layout I started with the 3 colors assigned (blue, rose/pink, spring green and the accent was chocolate brown). I had this picture of my boys in the Texas bluebonnets this spring and thought it'd make a cute page. I then used some stamps with Big Brother for my oldest and Little Brother for my toddler.
I used the Cricut Stretch Your Imagination cartridge for the "Spring" word with rose tulips and Mickey Font for the year 2009. Oh yes, and I included one of my favorite scrapping items with my cuttlebug - I ran some of the papers through my cuttlebug embossing folders for some added texture. It was fun!
