Finished!

Last night I was able to finish my first SDU display board for the classroom. We'll be pretty busy this week sprucing up the classroom and getting all of the displays up. Hopefully we'll get the classroom program off with flying colors! Here is a picture of the display board.



I created it with the class in mind so I can refer to it as an example while I'm teaching. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out and I'm so excited to create more!
Funky crafting until next time!

SDU Board

Hi there everyone! I've been up to some crafty goodness these past couple of days. I've crocheted three hats and I've started on my display board for my SDU classes.

Here are the pics of two of the hats I made.







We gave these to a friend of ours. She has two beautiful little girls a little younger than my babies.

Next up, the makings of my display board.



It's not quite finished yet. I have to wait to go to work tonight to get the foam core board that I'm mounting everything on. I'm really happy with the way it's turning out. This is the first time that I've sketched out what I'm scrapping. That's what this essentially is, a scrapbook page! Just on a larger scale. The scale was a challenge in itself because traditional scrapbook paper doesn't come bigger than 12x12. BTW, the board is gonna be cut to 15x20. Anyhow, I'll post the final product tomorrow.

Until tomorrow, have a funky crafting day!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! As I say "until next year" to the holidays, I look forward to the many things to come. I'm going to be joining the spouses group for DH squadron. I hope to be a great asset for the spouses and families of our airmen. Haley will be finishing the first semester of 6th grade homeschooling. We are looking to surpass 6th grade during the second semester and hopefully start the 7th. Aim high;). I also look forward to new classes coming to Michaels this Spring. There will be a couple technique classes that will be added to the class list. It hasn't been officially rolled out so I can't give any details but I am so anxious to share them with you. Until then, I look forward to hosting Crop Night on Jan 15th from 3:00-8:45pm. Wow! 6 hours of scrapping fun. I hope to see those of you who are in the area in attendance.

Today I led the demo for the Pinewood Derby cars. I did some research on it the day before so I would know something about them when I did the demo. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it is a event the Boy Scouts of America hold every year. I was able to make the pennant and display some products. Unfortunately, I didn't have any boy scouts come in to participate in the demo. Now that I am more knowledgable I can better prepare next year by trying to get some scouting packs to participate. Here is a picture of the products that were displayed and the pennant that I made.



To make use of my time that I had during the demo, I made a couple of cards for Valentines. I wanted to try and promote my scrapbook classes. The cards came out pretty cute in my opinion. They were really simple and took few supplies.



Both cards were made using products from K&Company, the Valentines die-cut cardmaking pad and a pack of die-cut cardstock. Other supplies were: Tombow adhesive runner, EKSuccess scallop edge punch, foam adhesive, and the Basic Narrows ribbon.

All in all, it was a good day for the demo. I learned a lot about the Boy Scouts and Pinewood Derby. I was also able to generate quite a bit of interest for the classroom program at Michaels.

Tomorrow? Mmmmm....I'll be posting some projects with my new Cricut cartridges.

Until tomorrow, have a funky crafting evening!
