I am so excited to be linking up with Tara again over at 4th grade Frolics. I can't wait to see what everyone else made!
Okay y'all, I promised I would be ready to share some stuff today! I think I committed to a theme... I am making it myself right now and I don't know what I was thinking!! I mean, there are SO many cute sets already for sale, I really should have just picked one of those. My husband knows me best though and informed me that if I had made it easy on myself, it wouldn't be me! Gotta love a man who knows all your flaws and loves you anyway - can I get an Amen? Here's a little sneak peak at what I a working on.
Owl and Birdie Set - number cards |

Now onto the good stuff! Our school-wide theme this year is Live, Laugh, Learn, I was not having any luck finding things to match, so I created these. What do you think? I found an awesome tutorial here that explains how to put pictures onto canvas. I have completed the first 2 but ran out of time to make "learn"... maybe by next Monday?

Get it free at my TpT store! |
I promise they are much brighter in person |
I also have been working hard on those buttons I promised! If you don't know what I am talking about, read this post from yesterday! Here is one of the buttons I finished. It is super easy. I bought these buttons from Wal-mart in the craft section. You pop the back right off, add your cute circle and push it all back together, Voila! I will be adding these incentive buttons to my TpT store later today!
Let's pretend this isn't turned sideways. Okay? |
This one is not school related but I wanted to show it off anyway! I made this picture frame for my friends baby shower. It has his name on top and then the saying, "sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart." I really wish you could come over and see it... it looks way better in person. IMHO. My husband even said he thought it was the best "craft" I've ever done! Sweet.
Last but not least, I wanted to mention Tonya from Tonya's Treats for Teachers featured me on her blog yesterday. Wasn't that so sweet of her?? She is SO close to 200 followers and she is ready to do a giveaway when that happens. Can you hop on over there and follow her? You'll be glad you did. She just made her adorable incentive buttons free at her TpT store!
If you download my Live. Laugh. Learn signs, please give me some love by commenting and following me. Heck, even if you didn't download them, leave me some love :) Happy Monday,
I am switching my room to an owl theme this year and I love these! Thank you so much for sharing!

I saw the showcase on your buttons over the weekend and they are super cute.
ReplyDeleteI also think live, laugh, learn is a great school theme (and your goodies are adorable). Next year our themes is go for the gold (but I wish it wasn't AFTER all the Olympics stuff).
You made me laugh!! Thanks:) Love your canvas prints and the button idea.
ReplyDeleteGlad I could make you laugh... it makes me happy to make others happy!
DeleteYour canvases look amazing! Did you really just print the images & mod podge them on? They're so cute! I might have to attempt this with some wedding photos... Hobby Lobby has two-pack canvases for $7.99 right now! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks ~ yep, printed out the pictures 8 X 10 and then mod podged them on.... I thought I messed them up, it seemed to be wrinkled but I pressed out some air bubbles, put weight on it for a few minutes and then was pleasantly surprised that it was sticking. Then I added mod podge over top!
ReplyDeleteI am SO GLAD that I now know how to make canvas prints. What a great gift for moms on Mother's Day...... I have to remember that- and keep an eye on canvas sales!
