BLAST OFF INTO SUMMER Blog Hop
Hello friends! I'm really excited to be participating in my first-ever blog hop. I couldn't resist when I saw the call for participants. I always like to do something to send my students off into the summer with a good feeling about the last year. After all, I will have them again in my classes next year, so it really is a good idea.
Choosing a project is always a challenge. I'm teaching high school so my project can't be too "cutsie" but it has to be a little bit cute or it isn't worth bothering with. I decided to make boxes to put treats in and cut them on my Expression using an MTC file. Then I decorated four boxes for the boys, bet you can guess which ones? Of course, the tape measures with eyes... I had picked the tape measures up at a dollar store in the teaching area. They're intended to be calendar markers, but I really like the way they turned out. The boys will get a kick out of them. The girls boxes are all different. I couldn't decide on one design, so I just used whatever I found in my stash left-overs. Actually, kind of fun, because I had forgotten that I had chipboard butterflies! Will have to see what else I can do with them.
I hope you're enjoying this hop. Have a great weekend!
