My New Toy

I 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! 

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! 

Here are few completed projects: 

Do you have a Cricut and Silhouette? I would love to here your opinion about the two machines.

Watch Us Grow

I am really excited about this school year. I have a great group of students who are ready to bloom.  This is the first full week of school and my room is fully decorated. Next week I'll post some pictures of my Common Core bulletin board and student work displays.

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 QR code water bottles 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?

Fun with Felt

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.

More vinyl please

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!

Cricut Fun

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!
