End of School Teacher's Gift (that's not an apple - LOL!)

Hi everyone!  Our kids get out of school this week and I wanted to share the project I created for Spencer's Kindergarten Teacher to say "thank you".  I know that teachers get lots of "teacher things" and I wanted to make something that wasn't so "school or teacher" related....I hope that makes sense.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE making school and teacher gifts/crafts but after getting Spencer's opinion he wanted to make a card with a butterfly on it.  So here we go.
 
 
I created the card using the butterly from Create a Critter 2 by Cricut and thought it would be fun to use as the "bag topper" holding it in place with a gold paperclip.  This way she can take off the clip, read the card and see the yummy cookies inside the bag.  So fun! 
 
To decorate the outside of the bag I took a piece of burlap ribbon and hot glued on a handmade felt flower.  I think it turned out pretty cute....what do you think? 
 
@@@@@@@@@@@
 
Here are my boys on the last day of school.  Happy Summer!

Non-Traditional Graduation Card

Hi everyone!  I bet you thought I'd fallen off of the face of the earth…..huh? :)  Sorry for the hiatus but I have to be honest with you and say something I never thought I'd say.  

I.lost.my.crafting.mojo. thus my blogging mojo

GASP….

(insert sad face here)

I haven't been crafting much so I haven't had much craftiness to share here on the blog.  If I start a project I just can't seem to get into the "groove" of finishing it and my creative flow has run away.  :(  :(  Hoping one day I'll get it back.   

………..

With graduation season upon us -- I did want to share a card I created for a friend.  

Details:
Card is 5.50 x 4.25
Graduation Cap - Creative Memories This and That by Cricut
White pens used - Galaxy Marker and white gelly roll pen
