August Word Puzzle

Here are the creations for my upcoming Word Puzzle Workshop. Click here for more info.

***

I used the Tinkerin' paper along with the August Word Puzzle, and Tender Tags stamp sets. On one of the cards I also used the new stamp set called You're a Hoot.

Layout Option - I used the Tinkerin' Workshop Guide for this fun layout. All workshop participants can now get the Workshop Guide instead of the extra B&T papers - OR you can get both for an additional $1 added on to your workshop fee.

6x6 Option

Card Option - from now on, my workshop card options are going to include 1 card using the Word Puzzle stamp set, 1 card using the Stamp of the Month, and 1 card using any stamp set that I haven't used yet. Here I used the Stamp of the Month, Tender Tags, the August Word Puzzle, and my new set called You're a Hoot. I also used the card patterns featured in the Tinkerin' Workshop Guide - this month they are all from Originals - Stage Right, Pieced Panels, and A Heartfelt Classic.

Thanks for looking!

Teacher Gifts

These were the gifts I made for the girls' teachers on the last day of school - seriously, I should win the Procrastinator of the Year Award ;-P

I used some blocks that I ordered from Oriental Trading ages ago but just hadn't used yet - all other products I used are from CTMH. I covered the top with paper from the Animal Cookies Creative Basics paper pack, the alphabet block look was created using cardstock (White Daisy, Tulip, Dutch Blue, and Clover Meadow) and the Essential Alphabet stamp set. I then tied just a bit of White RicRac on the photo holder to finish it off. The girls wrote a note to their teachers on the papers with their picture. The 'My favorite teacher' stamp came from a retired set called School and the paper lines and paper clip stamp came from a new stamp set called Comments.

Thanks for looking!
