New teacher name frames

A friend from my school saw my teacher name frame and wanted to create her own. She came over this week while we were on Spring Break and we made name frames for her, her son's teacher and her student teacher. It was a great time!

Another Name Frame

Here is the name frame I made for my parents for Christmas. Click on the photo for a close up! More details later....

Finally, my OWN name frame!

I have made so many teacher name frames and never made one for myself. Tonight, I decided I was going to do it! I used a potpourri of materials and will post them all later. All of the stamps, eyelets and cardstock are from Stampin' Up! The ribbon and red background paper wer from a stash of leftovers!

Summer and America Name Frames

I have been meaning to make myself a "Summer" name frame since last year. I made my mom one (and for spring, fall and winter too), but somehow I ran out of time and never got around to finishing my own Summer frame.
Today, I was on a mission to make it! I originally got out my Citrus and Such set by Stampin' Up!, but then realized that I had some designer paper that would work just fine. And instead of using the Big Deal alphabet like I did on my mom's, I decided to use my Cricut and layer the letters. I love that darn thing! (My mom and dad surprised me at Christmas with one!)

Also, I had made this God Bless America frame a while back, but it was just ugly somehow. So, I ripped off the top set of letters and re-cut larger ones on my Cricut (never would have done THAT by hand!). I think it looks much better now. I'll use it for Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day.

Another Teacher Name Frame

Last year, I made this name frame for Carter's kindergarten teacher. I was so excited to see that she had it hung in her new classroom window when I visited the school this year. So, I decided to make one for his first grade teacher as an end of the year gift. I also made this notebook for her earlier this year. I hope she loves it! :)

Just Breathe...

This is my mom's first name! She made this for her boss's birthday. Her boss is a doctor and always uses this saying. She came over and we stamped the letters, chose the paper and talked about some possible layouts and embellishments. I sent her off to make the frame and this is what she came up with! Pretty darn good, huh? Sorry for the bad photo! I took it in the garage on a rainy day. All stamps, ink and paper are from Stampin' Up! Won't you leave my mom a nice comment? THANKS!
