Pencil Bouquet for Teacher Appreciation

I just love trolling on Pinterest.  It feeds my need to craft.  I think this turned out amazing.  A huge thanks to http://www.thehappyscraps.com/2011/05/teacher-appreciation-gift.html where this originated!  I found these darling pencils at Target last Easter and the small tin pails too.  How can you go wrong with a little personalization on the bucket?  It's the perfect size to reuse for class room school supplies!  I cut the flowers and out of card stock on my Cricut using an svg I found on the internet somewhere.  I hope my son's teacher loves it as much as I do!

Rockets, Race Cars, & Jets - Oh My!

I'm a little late on this post but I made these picks for the Cub Scout Blue & Gold Banquet back in February.  They are simple outlines cut in card stock and glued back-to-back on bamboo skewers.  The possibilities are endless.  I put them in pre-made Dollar Store centerpieces.  You could also put a bunch in mason jars with rocks in the bottom.  We needed 35 or so inexpensive and easy to make centerpieces so this fit the bill perfectly.

Our theme was speed so I was on the lookout for "fast" designs.  I found the .jpegs on the internet and stripped out the details so it would cut solid.   Next on my agenda, is to cut something in miniature and make cupcake picks.  How cute would that be?
