Baby Tag Journal

One of my son's daycare teacher's is having a baby at the end of April so I wanted to make a little something special that my son can give to her.  This is a Baby Tag Journal using Tags Bags Boxes and More Cricut cartridge (This is not my original idea). 

I used my Gypsy to cut:

 6 Tags (page 90 of TBBM) at 5.65"

6 Folders (page 113 of TBBM - Blackout Feature) at 11.35"

2 Covers (page 113 of TBBM - Blackout Feature) at 11.35" - The covers are the same as the folders only you can cut it in half and only use the front half (the half with no score marks).

Once your items are cut out, score and fold on the lines provided and use a good permanent adhesive (I used scor-tape to adhere the folders).

 I used my cinch to bind the book but you can punch two holes on the left side and just use loose leaf rings.

Lastly, decorate and embellish to your liking!

Hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by!

Valentine's Crayon Goodie Box

Happy Valentine's Day!

Here is a Crayon Goodie Box that I made for all of my nieces and nephews.  I am entering this in the Scrappy's Mom Challenge http://scrappymoms-stamps.blogspot.com/

 and the Creative Cutter Room Challenge http://www.creativecutter.org/

Recipie:

1. Using Tags Bags Boxes and More, cut the crayon box on page 129 using the widnow feature at 8-3/4".

2. The cricut cuts marks to show where to score. Using a bone folder and ruler or scor-pal, score all of the lines.

3. I save any and all clear plastic wrappers and that's what I use to cover my windows.  In this project, I used a wrapper from a pack of stickers that I bought a Michales on clearence.  Cut the plastic to fit the window a little big and glue to the inside (the side opposite of the score marks).

4. Fold all of your score lines using a bone folder for a nice crisp fold.

5. Using the Love Struck 2010 Cricut cartridge and some scraps of cardstock, cut the candy hearts out...some at 2-1/4" and some at 3".

6. Using a pink sharpie marker I added stitching around the front of the box for an added effect.
7. Next, using Stampin' Dimensionals from Stampin' Up and some regular adhesive, I glued the hearts to the Crayon Box.
8. Finally, using Scor Tape I glued the Crayon Box together (Be sure to use a strong adhesive to hold your box together).

9. Embellish and fill with your favorite goodies!

Hope you have a great day and get something special from your Valentine!
