Accordian-style card

So this is my second video tutorial, I actually really loved this card and thought that it was so easy that everyone should be able to do it:) Also, if you want to write a message on the card, I usually write it on the back because it is a photo card and you don't want your message to be in the way.

A Day in the Life of Me

this was just a journal entry that i had to do for dance

~nothing really important~


Surprisingly after I got home from my BFF Christine’s house (I practically live there, if that tells you at all how much I’m over there), I picked up my geometry homework and whizzed right through it (I wanted to finish my bright orange duct tape bag!!) Luckily I didn’t have that much other homework, because I also had other things on my to do list (play Mario brothers, make up a new secret code, choreograph more to my dance, yell at my two dogs for barking at everything that goes down our street, make a sockmonkey, journal, find time to draw, or even check out what’s new on geekcrafts.com) I was petting one of my 3 cats, Dexter (who never leaves my side), but then I got a call from Bailey, and it ended up going from a 5-minute-talk to a 2 hour debate about library books! Haha, well it was fun anyways, and finally after it was all over, I walked in my room to go to bed and realized how much of a nerd I am with all the periodic table, physics, and Harry Potter posters I have up.:) If only everyday was like this...

So I am choreographing a dance to Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi." Right now, I am about a minute and a half into the song. I was thinking about these shirts for costumes with jazz shorts and crazy neon tutus:)

Babysitting ideas

Need some babysitting ideas? Here are 41:

1.) Bake egg free cookies so they could eat some dough

2.) Go to a park or take a ball out in the yard (tennis, catch, etc.)

3.) Use bubbles, kids love chasing them

4.) Do a simple obstacle course in the backyard

5.) Do a special backyard picnic for lunch or dinner

6.) Hide a small object and have them find it-- play the hot and cold game especially if you're tired

7.) See how many jumping jacks, how long they can hop on one foot etc etc--it will tire them out

8.) Make goop/oobleck and let them play with it

9.) Put food coloring in milk, use small clean paint brushes to paint bread with the milk, put in toaster, the color will stay and they can eat their creation

10.) Do a simple scavenger hunt with picture clues

11.) Jump on the trampoline

12.) Watch a movie

13.) Read stories with them

14.) Play board games

15.) Play with the dogs

16.) Puppet show behind the couch

17.) Play dress up

18.) Draw

19.) Make up a game outside

20.) Play house

21.) I-spy

22.) Hula Hoops

23.) Jump ropes

Mrs. Calise's Accordian Card




Heyo!! Over the weekend, I made this cute card for my student teacher. Today is her last day
(awww) and so I thought that I could try this card. I started with a 5 1/2" by 12" piece of card stock. (light green). Then, I scored straight down at 2", 4", 8", and 10". Next, I folded the score lines forward and backward just like the picture shows. Using the measurements in the layout picture (top left)**, I stamped, cut, and glued all of the pieces onto the original 5 1/2" by 12" piece of green paper that I started with. After all of it was glued on, I opened and closed it to make sure that it worked, and then wrote my message on the far right panel.
**If you click any of the pictures, they will enlarge**

Thank you crab (quilling card)



This card was really basic. The crab is made from a technique called quilling, and if you are interested I recommend this website:http://www.handcraftersvillage.com/quilling.htm
Anyway, I started by making the crab out of an orange-ish piece of quilling paper. I rolled the first 8 legs, and then made the same shape for the front claws, but put them in a three-some. For the body, I rolled three pieces of paper together, and the assembled the crab. After the crab was fully dry, eyes and all, I took my color changing markers and wrote "Thanks" across the rest of the room.

Thank you bookmark card



For this Thank you card, I started with a Background stamp, and I stamped it right on to the blue card with the Cameo coral Stampin' up Stamp pad. In the bottom right corner, I stamped "Many thanks" on to a purple piece, and right before gluing the piece down,I put a ribbon across the top of the card. Then I stamped the Butterfly bookmark, and riveted the end so I could string it to the card. I only riveted the bookmark though, so if the receiver wanted, they could take off the string and use the attached piece as a bookmark.

Nature card



So I am also a crafter, right?
well I like to use Stampin' Up supplies for making cards. Here I used the Hostess 2009-2010 Asian Artistry set. In the background I used a big nature stamp from Joann's that I cut into individual squares, and pasted them on the background (the big wood stamp). Then I wrapped a ribbon around the bottom, and stamped "On your special day" on to white card stock.

Cute Quote


I love this quote so much, but i never really had anything to do with it:) I am a dancer, and one of my friends used to have this in her binder.

FAVORITE AUTHOR: J.K. ROWLING
Almost everyday, Christine and I go to school wearing the craziest knee high socks. Some are striped, some have diamonds, and we don't really care if people think we are weird because it's really just for fun. Most of the time, people will actually come up to us and say that they like our socks. We also wear a thousand watches up and down our arms. After you get used to them, it feels like nothing is there, except for the fact that everyone has to ask you what time it is. One more weird fact, I wear five red ribbon week bracelets on my right ankle.
lastly, I am terrified of things pointing at me. I don't know why, but i have always been that way...

Our trip to San Fransisco

First Day: We just drove to and checked out San Fransisco to see what we could do in the week
Second Day: We drove over the Golden Gate Bridge and then "heely"ed over part of the bridge, and got to touch it. After that, we drove to the explOratorium where there were illusions, mind tricks, and other cool things. Before we went back to the hotel, we went to Jennie's house (my mom's friend). The adults went off touring the house, but my sister (Jennifer) and I just stayed with Lady, their fluffy calico cat. Lady sat on my lap. After the adults were done, we went to eat at a Korean place with Jennie and her husband, Phillip. When the check came, we got the BEST gum in the world, which is melon flavored. When Jennifer and I were chewing gum I thought of a sister club for just Jennifer and I to be in. It was called the ding ding nose nose pat pat club.When we were playing some games for the new club, my dad gave us some wax, and we made our mascot, Fast Kitty,(like on Jenn's t-shirt) and we also made a rocket for her. IT WAS SOOOOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!!
