back to school in my cricut craftroom

happy thursday!  todays theme in my cricut craftroom is to create something for back to school.
i made a gift card holder for a teacher.or even for your own kid to let them get their supplies. i dont care how old ya are we all need that kinda silly something every so often to make us forget the stress :)

i used my cricut and simply charmed cart for this.the crayon box was cut at 5 inches the glue bottle at 5 inches and scissors at 3~1/4 inches. i cut 2 of the layer 1 feature. the first one i adhered atop the crayons the other i put behind the top layer with the face. i used sticky tape along the bottom and sides between those layers creating a pocket. i just wanted to insure the gift card didnt tear the crayons. so thats just an option for ya. 

here it is with the gift card

i used a stamp from cardztv  the love is in a jar set

love in a jar at carztv

happy friday! love is definetly in the air with cardztv and me  as im in love with marys love is in a jar stamps i have had so much fun with this cute as ever set. our challenge this week is to use this set in our projects. be sure to check out the rest of the dt samples for this week :) as always youll just be in awe over their fabulousness :) and be sure to play along with us we really love when you do!
my post is going to be a tad long, hope ya dont get bored with me ;)
for my first project i made a card. i didnt add a sentiment but this could be a birthday card, a get well card with a gift mug of honey, tea ,cinnamon cough drops whatever is needed :) inside it could just say i love you  the jar set is so versatile. i love that.

 i colored in the jars with distress ink. there are 2 labels that come in this set , i used them both for layering.then added some twine. ill add some little heart tags later when i decide what im doing with it.

the flowers are from my cricut and doodlecharms cartridge and the bees are cuttlebug.

i recklessly colored them in with a distress pen and a sharpie. ;) im such a sloppy crafter ;)

for my next project i made a little giftie for my sister in law who collects kitchen strawberry stuff.

 i chicken scratched the word freezer jam on the tab but the other sayings, the jar and the berries are all on the love in a jar set. plus other sayings and images.

 sweet huh :)

 i made her some strawberry jam :)

heres the recipe. actually this isnt on the back as i made an error and wasnt thinking and i took a new pic obviously the wrong one ..so its the exact recipe just without the error /pencil scratch :)
