Day of the week monkey

My niece is teaching preschool this year and wanted me to make this for her classroom.  I used Create a Critter for the monkey and did a little surgery on his arm. LOL. I used Plantin Schoolbook for the letters cut out in vinyl. She is going to laminate it and use velcro to switch out the days of the week.

Edited
Ok, so my niece started her school year. She said everyday when the kids sat down to talk about the day of the week the kids would say "the monkey has no pants, monkey naked!"  So yes. I had to make the monkey some pants! I hope those silly kids are happy now! LOL

Holiday Recipe Album

Since it was marathon baking day around here I thought I would add they cute recipe albums I made.  These were inspired by Mary at cardztv.  Here is her link. http://cardztv.blogspot.com/2010/12/holiday-cookbook-album-part-3.html     I made the top one for myself and the bottom album I gave to my mom.  I used Plantin Schoolbook for the font and welded them together using my gypsy. Storybook for the scalloped square on the front of the album. To make the tab pages I used a rectangle from George and welded a scalloped square from Storybook. Thanks for looking and have a great Holiday!!

You've been BOO'ed

I know this has been done for years. But this is the first year I have ever Boo'ed anyone! I had made up three bags for my youngest daughter and I to pass out.  She had a blast "ding, dong, ditching" haha.  I think I scored some brownie points for still being a cool mom.  And that's pretty hard to come by when your 14 year old will think your cool. Anyway, each included a candle that I tied a ribbon around.  A cocoa slider made with the Cuttlebug and  the Swiss Dot folder. The spider is from Paper Doll Dress Up. Frankenstien is a package of cookies. I cut his hair free hand and used Plantin to cut out the circles for his eyes.  For the bag I cut the moon from Plantin and the witch is from A Child's Year.

Candy Bouquet

 

I needed a quick gift for a coworker and since she wasn't to happy to have a birthday I thought this would be great for her.

The circle and scallop are from Accent Essentials

40 sucks is from Plantin Schoolbook

Happy Birthday is from A Child's Year

Newest Layout

This is my new Granddaughter. She was born March 5th. She is the sweetest little girl. She joins a 2 year old sister.  Hopefully they will be best friends growing up and have loads of fun together.

I made this layout for tonights challenge on the Cricut message board.

My daughter has a band concert coming up and I thought I would get a head start on the layout.

Calendar

Here is another great idea I got from the Cricut message board. I found the instructions for this great calendar from badger42 on the Cricut board. I added quotes from Twilight on the month tabs.
