I <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">wanted to share my newest toy! It's the Silhouette Cameo! I love this machine! It's so much better than my Circut Expressions 2. I imagine that at some point, I will use my Cricut again, but for now...it's all about the Silhouette! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Here are the top 3 reasons I love the Silhouette Cameo: 1. You can cut the silhoutte vinyl without a mat. 2. You can cut any in any font that you download or have on your computer. 3. I don't have to buy over priced cartridges! </span></div>

Here is a picture of a fun synonym activity that I got from <a href="http://thefirstgradeparade.blogspot.com/2012/03/day-fit-for-foodie.html" target="_blank">The First Grade Parade</a>. My students had a blast. They became synonym chefs (hats and all) and created these fun synonym rolls. I love these types of activities!!<br />

I absolutely LOVE this behavior management system. No more moving clips, changing color, or filling out long weekly behavior report cards! This system worked well with my students last year and is working pretty well this school year. I highly recommend this to any teacher!!

I love the way the pennants came out. Overall the room is colorful and inviting... Mission accomplished!
Our curriculum night is in a few weeks and I really want to showcase the students' work.<br />

I loved making this easy reversible valance. The other side is striped with a polka dot boarder. The pennants on the door read "Welcome to Our Garden." The pennants were cut by hand with pinking shears and sewn to a thin red ribbon. The letters were cut with the Cricut using black fabric and heat and bond. <br />

I love this display for math work. This display is similar to the one inside my room. I used my old scrapbook paper. It was laminated and hot glued to the wall. The title was accented by the students. They wrote different math related pictures. <br />

Curriculum Night will be here before I know it... I think I'll send some Save the Date cards to increase attendance. Last year my <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/92183123592246619/" target="_blank">QR code water bottle</a>s were popular with the parents that attended. A quick round of "Are You Smarter than a 2nd Grader" would be fun! What fun things do you do for Curriculum Night?

Here is an adorable butterfly pillow. This pillow was made with felt butterflies which were sewn on fabric and made into a pillow. I love this idea because you can cut out any shape and add it to a pillow.

This is the Just 4 the Smiles wreath, but don't let the name fool you. I was NOT smiling while sewing this summer wreath and I have about 3 battle wounds to prove it. My last wreath was the Christmas bulb wreath, which was so quick and easy. This beauty was a bit different, she took time and patience!<br />

Overall, I am very pleased with the finished product. Isn't she pretty?!? After my wounds heal, I'm making the Just for the Pop wreath. It's an adorable ruffled flag with buttons.<br />
What wreaths have you made lately?<br />

If you have a little time, making your own boutique hair bows can be very cost efficient. We will definitely need some bigger boutique bow very soon since my daughter has more hair than I know what to do with... but that's another post.<br />
After making a few bows, you will have a very extensive ribbon collection. Before you know it, you will need some type of<a href="http://thepinterestaddiction.blogspot.com/search/label/ribbon%20storage" target="_blank"> ribbon storage</a> or <a href="http://thepinterestaddiction.blogspot.com/search/label/Hair%20Bows" target="_blank">hair bow holder. </a> Sometimes I just purchase bows that generally match most of her clothing. Whether the bows are handmade or store bought...A GIRL HAS TO HAVE BOWS!!<br />
<br />
I have been look at different <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/92183123593211347/" target="_blank">polymer clay hair bow centers</a> and decided to try making one. Here are my first polymer clay clippies. I tried this design because it looked simple. Circle and triangles...I love basic shapes! It doesn't get much easier than that!!<br />

Decorating onesies and shirts is super fun! This craft is a little different, but still in the baby area. I recently saw a post on how to make <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3c3FMo4RA2Q" target="_blank">burp cloths</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWv7tR-yqmI" target="_blank">wipe cases</a>. Both tutorials were super easy to follow. I absolutely love YouTube.<br />
Once I saw this fabric, I knew I had to use it! It just screams SWEET Girl. I embroidered the fabric to add a more personal touch. Here is a gift I made for the upcoming birth of baby Paisley, Gabe, and Chris.<br />

There have been quite a few nail designs that I really loved. See my <a href="http://pinterest.com/cphyall/nails/" target="_blank">Pinterest nail board</a> to check out my latest pins. Since I'm a teacher (...with a one year old), during the school year, I don't have a lot of time to create these time consuming designs. During the summer...it's a different story. I can really have fun with my nail polish/ designs and experiment a bit. I can be as WILD as I want!!<br />
Here are some designs that I have tried:<br />
<a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/92183123593193173/" target="_blank">Converse Shoe</a>...this one has a GREAT tutorial on Youtube!<br />

<a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/92183123593167497/" target="_blank">Chevron Nail Design</a>... I used my scrapbook pattern scissors to create a similar pattern.<br />
Have you tried any fun nail designs lately? <br />

There are times when I want to give the polish a rest and just wear my nails natural. After seeing this <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/92183123593205279/" target="_blank">whiter nails pin</a>, I decided to give it a try.<br />

I am very pleased with the results! My nails were a little dry, so I completed the look with a little buffing cream. You may want to finish this look off with a clear top coat or a fast drying clear polish if you are pressed for time (or impatient like me).<br />
The best parts is that I had all the items in my house, so this pin cost me $0! Gotta love it!<br />

Here is a vinyl craft that I pinned and made. The supplies that were used are a frame, spray paint, vinyl, and the Cricut. I can't wait to hang this frame. It would be cute on a tile as well. This would also make a cute anniversary gift!<br />

This machine is so cool. Here is my first layered vinyl cup. This design comes from the Life is a Beach Cricut cartridge. I used the Big Kahuna title word(gray) and shark layer(orange). I hope the Mr. likes it! <br />

Here is a simple monogrammed shirt. First, iron heat and bond to your fabric. Next, cut the desired shape. I cut a circle with the Cricut machine. Iron the shape to your shirt. Then, choose and sew your monogram. Finally, sew around the shape. I used the zig-zag stitch and decreased the length. This is a quick and easy way to personalize and shirt. Have fun!<br />

You may remember the <a href="http://thepinterestaddiction.blogspot.com/search/label/Turkey%20Onesie" target="_blank">turkey onesie</a> that I made for Thanksgiving or <a href="http://thepinterestaddiction.blogspot.com/search/label/Ribbon%20Christmas%20Tree%20Shirt" target="_blank">the tree for Christmas</a>... Well this design is for Easter. It's definitely my favorite!<br />

I had some time to practice embroidery with the sewing machine. I embroidered Kay's initials in this zebra print dress. The hair bow was made with some ribbon scraps and a heart shaped button. <br />

This is a little valentine outfit for Kay. I sewed the heart, letter k, and bow onto a plain white t-shirt. The bow is made from valentine ribbon. I love the tulle skirt! That might be my next project.<br />

I'm super excited about these Valentine themed shirts for Kayden. This is my second and third shirt, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_916737122">h</a><a href="http://thepinterestaddiction.blogspot.com/2012/01/be-mine.html" target="_blank">ere is the first one</a>. The funny thing is that I have yet to make the one I saw online. That one was much cuter than my first one. I guess it will just have to be my inspiration. <br />

With Valentine's Day being right around the corner, I started thinking of Valentine's Day shirts for my daughter. I saw this idea and didn't pin it, so I can't share the website :(<br />
Here is Kayden's Valentine's Day/ February shirt:<br />

Here are a couple sets of winter themed hair bows that I made for my daughter. The snowflakes are buttons that I have sewn on the ribbon. The snowman bow is made from glitter ribbon and glitter craft embellishments. I love these, but I can't wait to try some for Valentine's Day. </div>

My Dollar Tree hurricanes get a winter makeover. This makeover was quite easy. I took the hurricanes from this <a href="http://thepinterestaddiction.blogspot.com/search/label/tutorial" target="_blank">tutorial</a> and filled them with winter themed items. Most of the filler was on clearance at Michaels Arts and Crafts stores. Very simple and inexpensive!<br />

<b>Materials:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
12x12 scrapbook paper</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
12x12 canvas</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mod podge</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
distress ink</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<u><b>Tips and Tricks:</b></u><br />
<ul>
<li>Use lightweight scrapbook paper instead of card stock. It takes a long time (and many coats of mod podge) to get the paper to adhere to the side of the canvas</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Cover the entire front of the canvas, apply paper, and cover the top of the paper with a coat of mod podge</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>When everything has dried, cover with a clear matt varnish</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Use scrapbook paper with big designs</li>
</ul>
