Appriciation cards for my husband's bosses

My husband likes the cards styles I have been making and asked me to make a couple of cards for his wonderful directors at his place of employment. He left the colors up to me, but asked that I put some teal in somewhere. The ribbon on the cards was made from the " & " sign on George and Basic Shapes. They have a very special meaning for the ladies do there, and all I can say them is thanks for all you do. The smaller ribbons were cut at 1 inch and 3 inch for the largest teal one. I learned to make the Z style of card from Dorcas at "4craftyangels". She has a great variety of cards and videos, and other ideas. There is a button to connect you to her blog in my side list. Thanks for looking.

The 2nd Altered Clock made with SpongeBob cartridge

This clock has more of the real images of what Sponge Bob is about. My husbands favorite show. I really had a hard time with all the small details of this one. I'm sure when they are larger they are easier. I made this clock for his home office space. Thanks for looking, have a great day.

Our Family Chore Chart using those write on magnetic boards

I was looking for some sort of wipe-able message board to put each family member's helper token on. I had gone to Staples and Office Max, & Depots and was discouraged by the expense of the laminated ones, they were $ 20.00, for a 18x24" and $30.00 for a 24x36". So my daughter and I continued to walk around the Staples office store and saw the small wipe on boards and thought and I thought back to the days when I was a teacher's aide, we had the kids use them to practice letter formation. They were $ 3.00 each and on sale. So I got 4. I left there very satisfied:) We drove to Wal-mart and headed to the stationary section to purchase the round and strip sticky back magnets to put on the back, and put it through the laminater. I set the Cricut to cut the pieces at 2". The tin containers are from the prima flower containers I found at Tuesday Morning but Michaels sells them in the party planning area separately.

" Thanks" Wild Card & A Child's Year Cartridge card for my husbands Aunt Tana

This card is the " Z" fold card. I was over on http://4CraftyAngels.blogspot.com * and Dorcas has some really great cards. I saw one she made that had a turkey on it and I simply printed the instructions and made mine into the little boy, dog 1, shadow, cut at 3 inches from A Child's year. It is on page 62 in the hand book. I cut it out 2 times and layered it with foam tape to give it dimension and added the word "Thanks" from Wild Card, this was cut at 3 1/2 inches. She is a real great teacher for those who are wanting to learn to make cards like me, so hop on over to her blog and take a look around and please remember to stop back over here and see what I will have next for you!
