Welcome to the September 2011 edition of the Pink-alicous Blog Hop hosted by Robyn, My Pink Stamper.

If you're following the blog hop trail you should have arrived from the super talented Missy's blog.  To start at the beginning of the hop click here.

Today the entire design team is highlighting the "School Days" stamp set created by My Pink Stamper.  This is a super fun set with tons of school themed inspiration.  :)

I am actually showing you an altered, recycled, trash to treasure, "whatever you want to call it" item.

I started with 2 empty cricut cartridge boxes and made them look like books.  Cool, huh?  This would be a great idea for a teacher, classroom, desk, office, etc.  I hope you like it as much as I do.

Something Yummy for Your Tummy Treats

Welcome to the August edition of My Pink Stamper's Design Team project day.  :)

The entire design team is creating projects with Robyn's newest stamp release so if you're stopping by my blog first you can hop over to Robyn's blog to take a quick look at all of the projects by the entire team.

For the past couple of years I have been sending a little goodie to Spencer's pre-school friends to celebrate the first day of school.  It's just a little something for each of  his friends to take home in his or her back pack.  

His pre-school has class names for each age group and he is in the "Ocean Treasures" class.  I know that "goldfish" do not live in the Ocean but other fish do and I thought goldfish crackers would be a fun snack the kids would enjoy.  I put some goldfish crackers in a baggie and tied on this super adorable tag.  I had 15 to make so I was able to do a little "extra" including doodling and embossing the body of the fish with my cuttlebug.

• white tag (I used a blank index card) folded in half
• gold fish - "Create-a-Critter" by Cricut cut 1.75
• I used the "Hide Contour" feature on my Gypsy to hide the one eye on the fish so I could draw my own with my black marker, I added chalk for cheeks, black markers for doodling as well as my white gelly roll pen
• "Tiny Mosaics" Cuttlebug folder for fish body
• For the waves on the card I used my blue Copic marker and also used a blue maker to draw the circles (bubbles) for the fish.
• Sentiment "Something Yummy for your Tummy" - My Pink Stamper {yummy-licious set}
• Jute (or twine) string to attach tag to plastic bag
• For inside of bag I used the sentiment "Welcome" My Pink Stamper {yummy-licous set}
• "1st Day of School" My Pink Stamper {School Days set}

Homemade Robot for Pre-Schooler

Share your creations on my T.G.I.F Linky Party -- we'd love to see your Spring, Summer, Easter, St. Paddy's, or "anything goes" creations.  -- Click here for that.  

........

Today I wanted to show you this adorable robot we created for our pre-schooler Spencer.  It was a family project because it took mom, dad and Spencer to create this.  Each of us contributing a special "touch" in the creation process.  Dad is very "crafty" too -- more in the "building" aspect though.   I'm sooo lucky. 

At his pre-school (and like many others) each week they bring a show and tell for the letter the class is working on for that week.  This past week was "R" -- so the teacher wanted each child to create a robot to share with the class and then be on display for the next week so everyone who passes by can see them too.  Here is our little guy Spencer proudly showing off the finished creation -- Rodetta.  :)  If you are new to my blog -- this is my little helper -- he LOVES to craft with me and sometimes you will hear/see him on my video's.  

Here is what we did --

- body - box (it had little bags of chips in it), covered with red paper.

- legs - paper towel roll (cut in half, covered with patterned "star" paper), attach to bottom of box with hot glue.

- arms - another paper towel roll (cut in half, then the tube was slit so we could roll the arms a little smaller), attach to side of body with hot glue.

- head - chicken breast can (like tuna in a can but a larger one that had chicken breast in it.) 
- adhere pattern paper around can and on top (which would actually be the bottom of the can upside down).

- hair - curly polka dot ribbon, adhered to top of can.

- red bows in her hair.

- eyes - black (1" scallop circle), white (1" circle), smaller black (3/4" circle).

- mouth - piece of red rick rack

- lace trim around the can (serves 2 purposes - to cover up the glue from adhering the can to the box and adds a nice touch to a "girl" robot.)

- extra stuff includes a blue gem and some robot patterned paper (blue 3" scalloped circle, robot paper cut 2" regular circle) -- adds a nice touch in the center. 

- to help the robot stand on her legs I took a semi-thick piece of cardboard and covered the top with some blue paper.  We then hot glued the legs to the bottom to help her stand up.  To cover up the "glue" I just tied some more curly ribbon around the bottom of her legs.


Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day :)

Preschool Christmas Lay-out

Hi friends,

No, you don't have to look at your calendar. I know it's only May but I met with my toddlers pre-school teacher on Monday for an end of school parent teacher conference and she gave me these pictures of him and his school friends from last Christmas. They are the cutest. I couldn't wait to do a layout with them and put them in my scrapbook.

• Friends Forever ~ Makin' the Grade
• Christmas Tree ~ Christmas Cheer
• embossing folder for Christmas Tree ~ divine swirls using my cuttlebug and highlighted with my white stamp pad
• Reindeer ~ Doodlecharms
• embossing folder for reindeer ~ swiss dots using my cuttlebug

I just love how it turned out.....

Hugs,
Tracy
