A Different Kind of Scrapping...

Wow, have things gotten busy around here!  So I haven't had a moment to scrap - in the traditional sense - but I have been busy creating all sorts of things.  Mostly school related and a lot of preparing for my son's 5th birthday - busy, busy, busy!  So I wanted to do a quick post (and yes, I am very aware of the time - it's when I do my best work, lol!) to show you all what I've been up to the last couple days.  I can't show you the invitations of my son's birthday yet because they are going to be mailed tomorrow and I don't want to ruin the surprise, but I can't wait to post them next week!  I will, however, show you some of the school projects...

Last week I was chaperoning a trip to Disney.  Now my group of kids is really special and I wanted us all to look the same, so I bought t-shirts and my nephew helped me design and iron them on.  I loved the way they turned out and the kids loved them too! (We were the only ones that had matching shirts)

I couldn't get the picture below to rotate, so you will have to turn your heads to see the design close up.  For years now I've had a name for my groups along with a symbol and chant.  It's all really fun, but the two C's you see is the symbol.  


This is the back of my shirt...


Next is a vinyl project (my love for vinyl continues!).  At my school, we have a themed Gallery opening every 2 months where we feature paintings and artwork as well as student work.  Tonight we had a gallery opening called...

Now, the frames are not from the Cricut, our Media Specialist had those.  But everything else is Cricut, of course!  The title is a play on words (instead of Past Tense, Past Tens, since its all about the decades). I created it with my gypsy. I used Plantin Schoolbook, Cherry Limeade and Gypsy Font - all welded, of course!

Finally, tonight my sister needed to create a poster to hang in her classroom tomorrow, so again it was time to create.  I used my go to font for school - Mickey Font - and welded it on my gypsy.  For this I added a lot of texture.  You will see below...






So although I haven't actually scrapped, I've done quite a bit of creating!  
I hope you've enjoyed seeing what I've been up to.  I hope to have a layout to share by this weekend since I will be cropping with my friends.  
Thanks for stopping by and come back soon!
