Queen of my Craftroom Back to School Blog Hop Aug. 6th & 7th Day 1

Welcome to Day 1 of Queen of my Craftroom 

Back to School Blog Hop.

Then you are in the right place.

If you just happened across my blog and would

like to play along in our fun hop, you can go to

Queen of My Craftroom at

http://www.queenofmycraftroom.blogspot.com

and start at the beginning.

Thank you for joining me for the Back to School

Blog Hop! Each of us bloggers were ask to create

a Back to School themed project for this Hop.

I decided to make a couple different fun projects

 that can be handed out to your child's new

teacher on the first day of school.

The first project is a clay pot filled

with brand new pencils.  What teacher doesn't

Love brand new pencils!!  I painted the clay

pot with 6 coats of regular black acrylic paint.

The apple was cut at 5 inches from Create a Critter.

After the paint is dry you can use chalk to write 

a special message to the teacher on it.  It is okay

if you mess up (as I found out) because the

chalk wipes of with a wet towel.

This project is a very simple one for anyone who

Loves Post it Notes.  I cut the red background at

3 1/4 inches X 8 inches. Then score it at 3 1/4, 

3 3/4 & 4 1/4 inches.  Measure your pen and mark

off where you want the holder to go.  Then fold

the scored lines.  After it is folded it should all 

make sense.  I cut the top paper at 3 X 3 inches.

The A+ is cut from Platinum Schoolbook 

at 1 1/2 inches.  The apple is from Doodlecharm

and is cut at 2 1/2 inches.  I made it with the shadow

on the main apple and then cut another shadow to 

put on the back.  I used pop dots to glue the two

layers together over the Giant paperclip.

With this being the first year that both my

daughters are going to be in Middle School

together I though I would celebrate with some

Blog Candy for you. If you would love

for me to send you some Blog Candy please

 leave me some Blog Love below.

~I am giving away a sample of the DCWV

Grade School 4 1/2 X 6 1/2 stack,

a package of apple stickers (that any teacher

 would love) a pack of school ribbon &

one of the best black pens money can buy

(at least I love them) ~

Queen of my Craftroom is having some blog candy also.

The sponsors for the hop are: Karbar digital stamps,

Jen's digi stamps & Hambo stamps.  Please leave me

a comment on my blog to be entered into the drawing.

All of us in the hop will be drawing one name from

 the comments and sending that name off to Michelle. 

 She will then draw from those names who the winner 

will be.  The drawing will end Sunday at 8:00 p.m.

I hope you enjoyed my projects.
