Going Back to School!

My oldest is going back to preschool tomorrow so I thought I would make him a little note to put into his lunch box.  Of course it couldn't just be written on a plain piece of paper, so I pulled out my cricut and found a SVG image that I liked. 

I forget where I found this image, but it was a free one online (that or I made it from a coloring page...sorry, I forget!)  But I thought that this would be perfect little "note" for him.  His favorite color is green and he loves to color so it fits him perfectly.

On the back I figured I would just put a simple statement since the little guy is only 3!  Something that he could understand, so again I used the cricut to make this simple, I love you!

The font is Wish I Were Taller from Kevin and Amanda 

I love this site for a lot of free fonts that are great for using on the cricut of digital scrapping!

Note to the Teacher

With school starting up again, I wanted to send a little note to my son's preschool teacher on the first day of school. Nothing's more perfect than an apple for the teacher! I recently purchased the Grandpa's Organic Farm SVG Collection from SVG Cuts for another project that I'm working on and thought that this apple in the set would be perfect.

In order to make it into a card, I copied the base layer in MTC and then transformed it into the mirror image.  Then I chose to weld them along the leaf and the side of the apple and I had the base of my card!  Just a few cuts later of the leaf (BOBUNNY- Clover Dot), the stem (My Mind's Eye- Dark Brown Polka Dots) and the Apple (red texture) and my apple was complete!

FYI- The cutting file does not make the leaf and stem separately like I have here.  All I did was to cut the form out of each color and then cancel the cutting after the piece I was looking for was complete in order to save paper.

I added the ribbon around the stem (I had to cut behind the red layer on the form to slip the ribbon closer to the stem) and I think that it's a pretty cute note to the teacher!
