Rolled Roses for the Teacher

Another teachers gift, this was for Valentines Day...

Inspired by the sight of his dear teachers pencil bucket, with its down-to-the-nubs selection of pencils, I decided to do a pencil bouquet and make the flowers in her University colors. (Each classroom has chosen a College as their mascot for the year, ours is UCLA)

The flowers are rolled roses from 6x6" scrapbook paper. I had a couple sheets of the perfect blue - Brilliant Blue - and sadly that color is now retired, but I used up almost two sheets, so I do have a little scrap left! The yellow is So Saffron.

Hard to see them, but there is a Scallop circle base in green I punched out using the 2 3/8" scallop circle. I punched a small hole the size of the pencil, and then cut each scallop so it would wrap around the pencil where I glued it. Once the roses were made I used SNAIL adhesive to affix them to the scallop bases.

The vase is smaller, but it does hold a couple dozen pencils, some were Valentines themed, with a dozen roses. We do like bubs teacher, I hope she enjoyed the bouquet - she really does have "The Write Stuff"!

Festive Fridays Mixed Bunch

Here we are again with another installment of Festive Fridays! Terri Sproul hosts this hop the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month to inspire you with Holiday  cards. Join us and make a little each month, or tuck the ideas away to look back at when you do start your holiday card making, either way I know you'll agree there are some great ideas on the hop!

This card is simple and super fast. I saw this layout over at mychicnscratch.com and thought it was beautiful for a Christmas card. The stamp set is Mixed Bunch from the Occasions Mini, (out now!) and the colors used are Lucky Limeade and Pool Party. The sentiment I used is from a retired set.

Festive Fridays Mixed Bunch

The beauty of this stamp set is the coordinating punch, which saves you time and looks gorgeous. I popped the snowflake off the solid strip of Lucky Limeade with dimensionals.
