Teacher's Gift | Best Creation Blog Hop

Grab your suntan lotion and a towel and

get ready for a fun Summertime Hop to get some great ideas

to get caught up with old summer photos and lots of ideas

for inspiring you for this summer too!!

Its not quite summer time yet, so before school lets out here is a great

craft the kids can do to make a gift for their teacher.

I used Best Creation I Love America line and cut out

long triangle shapes, and then simply rolled

the paper and added a bit of glue to the end to

hold the roll in place.

 The longer the triangle the thicker it

is in the middle, so if you don't want them too thick just adjust the

length of the triangle.

Once a few rolls were made, using some liquid glue

I adhered them onto cardstock.

I pre printed the monogram first to give the kids a framework

to work within.

The teachers name can be added first by computer printer or after

using rubons or stickers or even have the kids hand write it.

Next on the hop is Jona who has another great project to share with everyone.

Don't forget to leave a comment on the Best Creation blog , Twitter, and Facebook for three chances

 to win a June Release prize,

and for another chance to win

I will choose a winner from the comments on my blog for a prize from the May Release papers.

Happy hopping!

Contest ends Sunday May 29th at Midnight.

Teachers Gifts | Crayon Monograms

Its almost the end of the year and time to think about a gift for the kids

teachers.  The girls absolutely love their teachers and wanted
to make somthing special for them.

I saw this project on Pinterest and instantly thought it was perfect.
I printed out the monogram and the teachers name on
an 8X8 piece of cardstock,
and then kids took over.
They cut, arranged and glued the crayons in place.

On Friday I have a paper variation of this project to share :) as part of a Blog Hop with Best Creation. 

The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called "truth."  ~Dan Rather
