Happy Birthday Poster

Do you remember when we were kids, we used to make birthday posters to hang in the hall at school and everyone would sign them?  It was always fun and exciting to be remembered and to see what everyone wrote.  Well, it was my Mom's birthday the other day and so I created this Happy Birthday poster for her.  Let's face it, as we get older, birthdays aren't as fun as when we were kids.  I wanted something bright and happy that would hopefully make her smile and know that I loved her.  I also was able to actually pull off a family dinner where all my siblings and I got together at a local restaurant.  That in itself is an act of Congress!  LOL.  It was really nice plus I was able to get my sister and niece together to go to lunch with her on her birthday.  All in all, even though it wasn't the most exciting thing in the world, getting everyone together to share in her special day at the same time hasn't happened in YEARS so  it was really nice!  Happy Birthday Mom.  Love you!

Strawberry Bear Poster

My son's teacher asked me to make a poster to hang in the wall that said "Our Mom's are the Picks of the patch." This is what I came up with. I think it turned out really cute! I've made several posters for her, but I think this one is one of my favorites. :-)

I'm going to enter it into this challenge: (something for a teacher and the color red)

Rudolph Help Wanted

Here's another poster for my son's class. This cute little reindeer was a freebie digi file. I wish I knew from where and I'd tell you but all that it's labeled with is reindeer free digi. If you know where this cute little guy came from, please let me know so that I can give them credit. He's adorable.

Winter Wonderland Poster

Here's another poster for my son's teacher. I like this one the best out of the three...but my favorite is still the strawberry bear one that I did. They should be using that this week for Mother's Day. :-)

Rainbow Poster

I've been putting these posters off for a while because of this one! LOL. My son's teacher wanted a rainbow and the saying "May all your wishes come true"....but I just didn't "want or feel like" doing a rainbow. No idea why...but....I finally just jumped in and got it done. Someone shared this cute little rainbow and it turned out cute. Simple, but done!

Ghostly Goblins Poster

Here's another poster for my son's teacher....she hangs these posters out in the hall and then the kids do an art project that they hang around it. She wanted ghosts and haunted houses so I am assuming the pictures hanging around it will be ghosts and haunted houses. LOL. In our school they only have regular die cuts which of course are the pits for changing the size if they even have what you want at all. I prefer my Make the Cut over those die cuts anyday! I did cut the title "Ghostly Goblins" with the die cutter and boy did it take too long. I brought the rest home to finish it. This is also the first time I experimented with construction paper and my cricut. I was worried that the paper would leave way to much "junk" on the mat, but it really didn't. I was pleasantly surprised. That means I can use the schools paper for these. Yeah!

Poster for my son

Tonight it was just me and my son and I asked him if he wanted to go to dinner with Mom and he said he wanted to stay home and create a poster with me. How sweet is that. He's seen me making all these posters for his teacher and he wanted one for him. So tonight, we stayed home and made him a poster. When I asked him what he wanted on his poster he said the Angry Bird. LOL. When I was on my reader the other night, he saw the popup card from here: http://extremecards.blogspot.com/2011/04/angry-birds-pop-up-card-tutorial.html and wanted to know if we could do that on his poster. So I took her PDF file and turned it into a cut file for his poster and he's loving it! Thanks for sharing with me....my son loved it!

Guess Who's Hatching
