Just Hangin' Around

Here is my next card that I made for another student. Blake is a very bright boy and he wants to be a veterinarian when he grows up. He loves animals. I think this card will bring a smile to his face. I am submitting this for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge over at My Creative Time. The challenge is to make something with an animal.

Now you may have begun to wonder why I am making cards for my former students. Well, about a week or so ago I posted about going through a bit of a difficult time. The reason I said difficult was because I was in a transition. I have been teaching 3rd and 4th graders at a private school for the last 7 years and I had my last day last Friday. I truly LOVE teaching and will miss my students very much. I am now an official Stay at Home, Homeschooling, Mom again!  Anyway, I wanted to make the kids cards and tried to think of things they liked best. This year I only had 5 students. I already posted 2 cards that I made the girls in my class. I have 2 more cards to go and will post them in the next day or so.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and read my ramblings :)

Hello Bloggy Friends :)

I made this card for The Pink Stamper Saturday Challenge. The challenge is to make a winter card. I just got my Winter Wishes stamp set by Scrappy Moms Stamps and decided to use them on the card.

Here are the details:

• Cricut Cartridge ~ Christmas Cheer ~ Mug cut at 3.5 inches, 1st rounded square was cut on real dial size, with the width and height unlinked in my Gypsy, at 4 x 5.25 and the second layer was cut at 3.75 x 5. Gypsy Wanderings ~ Heart cut at .75.
• Patterned Paper ~ K&Company Pepermint Twist
• Solid card stock ~ Recollections
• Sentiment ~ Scrappy Moms Stamps ~ Winter Wishes
• Ribbon ~ This actually came wrapped around my stamps so I reused it!
• Distress Ink ~ Tea Dye
• White Gel Pen
• Stickles ~ Star Dust ~ This is put on the steam.
• Ranger Glossy Accents ~ I added this to the cocoa in the mug. It wasn't quite dry when I took this picture but I knew I only had a little sunlight left.

That's it! Thanks for come by and looking!

BTW, If anyone could help figure out why I can not get my thumbnails to link correctly on the inlinkz I would be quite greatful. I have tried numerous times but don't seem to have any luck.
