June's 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

Welcome to June's 100 Cartridge Blog Hop!

You should have come from Erica's Project.

I am excited to get back to blogging because I have missed crafting and sharing my creations with everyone. In the beginning of May I was preparing for my brother's graduation party and then started going to job interviews.


On Friday I got a call from Human Resources letting me know that I am the new PreK teacher at A.W. Jones EC/PK Center. I am SUPER excited!!! I subbed in that school for about a month and I fell in love with the school and with everyone there. I wanted to be part of that school and I am super blessed for getting my dream job :D I can't wait to start my first year as a teacher on August 27th!

Now on to my creations...I used the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More 2 cartridge to create these crackers (that's what they are called in the booklet). It took a lot of trial and error until I finally figured out how to do them. I made 30 of them so it took a lot of scoring and folding since I don't have the scoring tool for the cricut. Luckily I have an awesome boyfriend who helped me do a lot of the folding.
My sister created the logo and I printed them out and used a circle punch. I also used Ribbons & Rosettes to cut out the label behind the logo at 2 inches. I put Jolly Ranchers inside them, since the party was going to be outside and I didn't want anything to melt.
As you can see...it was A LOT of scoring and folding, but I loved the finished product.

I also created these treat bags that I got the idea from Robyn, My Pink Stamper.
I used Lacy Labels for the labels behind the circles. I cut them at 2 inches. I also made 30 of these.
I placed them on all the tables.

I told my boyfriend to take a few pictures of my decorations and he took some really good ones.
 I love decorating!

I am so PROUD of him :D
My parents did a great job raising me and my two siblings because all 3 of us are all college graduates now!

Since I was subbing the same students for a month, I wanted to make them some goodie bags. They graduated from PreK on May 25th. The kids loved them!!! I can't wait to make lots of goodie bags for all of my future students.
I used the Locker Talk cartridge to cut out the caps at 2 inches.

I stamped Celebrate on the front and Best Wishes on the back using the stamp set called Spanish Sayings by My Pink Stamper.
Here are all 28 of them.

I also had the students create a cute little art project.
I used the Mickey Font cartridge to cut out the letters and numbers at 2 1/2 inches.


The students also purchased bears and all of the students got to sign each others bear. Super cute!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my graduation post.

Your next stop is Shelley.
