I made a very special little chalkboard bag for a very special teacher!
Here is a view of the dimension! I folded a strip of paper to make a ledge for the chalkboard. Then I added a rolled piece of paper for the chalk and used different brands of pop dots on the book and the bookworm.
The bookworm was cut from Create A Critter and I added a Peachy Keen Critter Face. For the lens on the glasses, I used a dot of Crystal Effects. I love how they turned out!
I added Cherry Red Baker's Twine from My Craft Spot as an accent to the bag!
I made a set of simple note cards to fill the bag! I left them blank so the teacher can use them for anything!
My second project are quick little items for the support teachers and helpers.
They are post-it note books made using the same little bookworm and a cute background paper!
Here is the side view of the post-it note books!
and last but certainly not the least, I made these little cards for my kiddos Sunday School and Awana teachers.
They are all volunteers and they do it for the love of the Lord and for the love of the children! I just had to make a special thank you for them so they know they are appreciated too!

Your card sets are adorable. Any teacher would love to have those.
My favorite teacher was Mr. Larson, he was my 4th grade teacher and my 6th grade teacher. He was the best teacher ever. He would teach us math while passing/tossing a rubber ball around the room. It kept us all paying attention and having fun while learning at the same time. He would also go out at recess time and actually play kickball with us. Great teacher.

I just love love love your chalkboard bag!! That is too cute!! :) And the notepad covers and cards are just as darling :) Fabulous job on the hop! :) The teachers and volunteers are going to love them :)
My favorite teacher throughout all of my years of school would have to be a tie between my fifth grade teacher Mrs. Chapman, and my physiology professor from college Dr. Lauden. Mrs. Chapman was the first teacher who taught me I really could overcome anything and everything thrown my way, and come out stronger on the other side, and Dr. Lauden basically saved me from dropping out of college and joining the Marines :) I honestly don't think I'd be who and where I am today without them :)

OMG! You are so talented! Where do you find the time to create such incredibly professional looking (but still adorable) projects? I'm just loving them. I'm a new follower btw. :0) I have no kids and have been out of school for quite some time so I, sadly, don't have a teacher of any sort in my life at all. :( But, I can learn a lot from your blog, I'm sure! Thanks for sharing and for the chance to win!

I cannot tell which project is my favorite. WOW!!! I love it all I wish I was a teacher and had a parent like you to get these cute cards from. I remember my preschool and kindergarten teacher Sister Girarda. She was the BEST! Every once in a while I still run into her randomly at the supermarket and it brings me back when I was a little girl again. She was the sweetest most caring teacher ever.
Amber you are soo incredibly talented. I ♥ to see your work.
These are ALL magnificent projects. I would want to have them ALL as a teacher. Someone is going to be super lucky.

WOW! you have been busy! I am now in love with that little worm :)
My favourite teacher was my grade 4 teacher Mrs. Oickle. I remember her reading us the book Island of the Blue Dolphins and that began my true love of reading! We also got to raise salmon in her class and release them into the wild. She was such a cool teacher!

Thank you so much for joining me! I love everything you made for today. They are all wonderful! You are very talented. As a teacher, I would love to receive your handmade gifts! What a special gift that would be! I am a teacher and the reason I became a teacher was because I had a special 8th grade teacher who loved his job and loved his students. I remember him and think of him often. Teachers are certainly very special people.

So I didn't read the entire post before I commented (I was just so excited when I saw the bag and cards I was compelled to post)! A teacher that inspired me was Mr. Morris, my senior year. He taught me how to think for myself and defend my thoughts~he also made me want to become a teacher~which I did! :)
These are all such great gifts. The worm is so dang cute.
I still think of my favorite teacher often...He was one of my algebra teachers, and was just the greatest...very helpful, very kind, but also very strict.

Wow! You have been incredibly busy! What super, super projects!! I love the little chalkboard creations. That little bookworm is adorable - especially with his glasses!! Great job with the Sunday School cards as well. They are adorable and the sentiment is just perfect with the cards.
Growing up, we had a church behind our house and I went there on Tuesday evenings - for Awana!! I have incredibly fond memories of my teacher. I still remember a number of the verses that I learned, too! It's amazing what an impact an organization like that can have on children. Thanks for recognizing and appreciating the volunteers.
You did it again!!!!!! What a lovely projects... you are a genius!!! I love all your projects and the worm glasses are just the cutest...Love that worm with his little sweet face and the glasses... love it!!!
My favorite teacher ever is my primary school English teacher. Take into account that she is the one who teach me my first english skills so I am here writing to you ion english in some way, because of her... My primary school classmates and I still meet together every now and then (after 25 years) and she is always(or almost always) part of the group!
I should make a project for her too. :-)

These projects are all so awesome.

I'm already a follower! My favorite teacher was my third grade teacher, Mrs. Green. She always went out of her way to let each child know she cared about them. She's the reason I decided to become a teacher. I aspire to create such a positive impact on all of my students lives just like she always did!

OMG..All of these came out so great! What great ideas! Love everything!
Great projects! I have great memories of my 2nd grade teacher, being very encouraging! He really made a difference in how I felt about learning!
These cards are wonderful! Nice job!! I remember my Middle School Science teacher, Mr. Tucker. I was pretrified of him (wore all black on pop quiz days and threw a metal bar on the hard floor to get the class' attention-YIKES!), but I ended up doing really well in his class and learned a lot. Thanks for the blog candy opp! ~Jen http://happyplaceforjen.blogspot.com/
