She is looking all smart, beautiful and grown up. I made the sign by taking a frame we had and painting the back board of it with chalk board paint. I then used a pencil sharpener to sharpen the chalk to a point to make the writing better. Of course I got this idea off of Pinterest.
To go along with her lunch box and show her how much we love her, I usually make a special card. This year I decided I wanted to spread the love over the whole year and not just on special occasions. I made a box of lunch note cards to keep in the kitchen to help me do it. Here is what it looks like ...
This box is a Lori Whitlock design from the Silhouette online shape store. I did have to look on Youtube to figure out how to assemble it. I used some Dear Lizzy paper to cover the box and cut the title out with the Silhouette. I decided to make seven different notes for the box so I did add some dividers and tabs to the box to keep them all organized. Here are the notes ...
I made these cards using the print and cut feature of the Silhouette. Once I designed each one, I just duplicated them and was able to fit 6 to a sheet of 8.5 x 11 inch card stock. I made 12 of each note to go in the boxes. I also added a little stickles to each note to make them extra special. Each note is 2.9" x 2.9". Just the size to write a quick note for the kiddos.
So that is all I have for you today. Now that the kiddos are back in school I will definitely have more time to post my craftiness!! Have a great day.
