This Month's Bulletin Board

So long purple background. You served us well.

I went to Lakeshore Learning center and they had this fun cloudy bulletin board paper so I put that up. The purple was tired, but I had left it up since I didn't like any of the other colors we had in the supply room... and because I am lazy... and it's freaking hard to put up that stuff by yourself. Or at least I am unaware of the secret way to put it up easily.

Anywho.

This months' board was done with my Cricut. I used the 'New Arrival' cartridge to make up the umbrellas. (I removed the bows from the umbrellas for the boys). My friend Dawn came over and wrote out the names for me. She has amazing handwriting, and I can't lie... I am super jealous. The paper is all from My Mind's Eye. I thought this one turned out really cute.

TFL!

Last Month's Bulletin Board

Wow, it's been over a month since I pulled pictures off of my camera. Slacker much? Yes thanks.

Anyway, here's the bulletin board from last month. It's SO not my favorite. I sucked it up. Oh well. :p

The font is from the Cricut Zooballoo cartridge and the clovers are on the Paper Doll dress up cartridge.

February Bulletin Board

Here is the bulletin board for February. I used George to cut out all the hearts, and then sanded the edges to distress them all. And then hung them from assorted ribbons. The 'Happy Bithday' is from the Printing Press Cartridge. I love my Cricut Expression. I used some ribbon from Costco for the border. Thanks for looking!

This Month's Bulletin Board

This months Birthday Bulletin Board isn't as cute as last months, but I never got a picture of last months. BUT, the 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' is still up from last month because I couldn't bare to part with those adorable snow man letters. This was the first time I really used my Cricut Colors. (The markers... if you don't have the markers... get the markers!) I used the 'Speaking of Winter' cartridge to make the snow man letters. I LOVE this cartridge so much! It is so much fun! I used stickles to make these cute letters a little more fun. Then I used the 'Joy of the Season' cartridge to make the mittens and snowballs. I used the Cricut Colors first to draw them, then switched out the marker for the blade to cut them out. I thought they turned out really cute and the kids really like them. I used ribbon for the border on this one. Since I made it without a lot of time on my hands.

Thanks for Looking!

Wow...

I was asked to do the birthday bulletin board at my kids school this year. And right now I wish I had taken pictures of all of the boards I have done. But, sadly, I haven't. For some reason I can't always seem to remember to take my camera with me when I do it. But I will try to take a picture of the board that is up right now.

This is the board from October.

I love the Cricut Expression. I made all the pumpkins with the Doodlecharms cartridge, and used Stamped for the font. (Which I modified just a little bit with good old fashioned scissors.) I did some distressing and used stickles on the leaf for the pumpkins.

The border was also cut using my expression on the 'Fit to Length' setting and the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge and all the patterned paper is from Making Memories. The rest of the paper is from Provo Craft.

Sorry for not posting anything new, I am swamped with life right now. But hopefully things will calm down in the next day or so.

As always, thanks for looking.
