Monday Made it and a Freebie!


I'm really starting to love Mondays! What are we going to do when school starts? Someone is going to have to think of something really fun. Thank you Tara for hosting one of my favorite linky parties. Today I'm going to share with you The Writer's Eye project. I first found this little idea from Mrs. Phippen right here! Well, I made one to match my colors. I also used Cara's posters to make one for my intern. To get a black and white polka dot version for free click here. There are two different styles- one with bees and one with little children. There is also a free set with the font Comic Sans in case you are a real stickler for fonts.




I also fancied up my white pencil buckets from Target. I added some ribbon and the table number. I'm still debating on which label I like better. I have an idea but want your opinion.
Say 1 or 2! Leave me a comment and I'll pick three winners to win a packet from my tpt store. Don't forget your email!
                                                                                            
label #1
label #2












Now I'm off to check out all of the other wonderful creations. I know there are TONS!

  2. I think I prefer #2. In Queensland Handwriting style, #1 resembles the letter 'z'. Just love your "Writer's Eye" posters...

  16. I pick #1. It looks like the Digs My Hart font which is one of my FAVORITES! But #2 is just as cute. The Writer's Eye is super cute too. Your intern is very blessed to have such a creative teacher to learn from.

  39. They are both cute, but I think #2 is the better choice. I never think to embellish purchases. Thanks for the inspiration!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I like #1 but with the font of #2. Either way, they look really nice and I like the added ribbon. It is the perfect finishing touch.

  46. I love seeing all the projects you're getting completed!! I prefer label #2. I think it would be easier for the kiddos to read too. Both are cute though!

  47. I like 2! P.S.- Good for you for getting so much accomplished this summer! I've been a little lazy.. it's funny-- yesterday I decided I needed to get with it. Nothing like waiting until summer is almost over.. haha!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I think I like #1 too... but maybe with #2 font. The curl in the three is adorable.. but I think something simpler would be better. They look amazing!

  50. Thanks for sharing your freebies! They are awesome!

    I really like both labels, but I like #1 a little better...I think the bow goes good with the ribbon you have going around the can.

  51. I like both of the labels, but would combine them if possible- I love the bow from #1 and the number from #2.
    Good luck with whichever choice you make.

  62. Label #1 is my favorite...it immediately caught my eye over #2! Great ideas! :-) Becky

    ReplyDelete
  63. I like #2 ... #1 looks too close the cursive "z" that it could confuse students just learning cursive. But both designs are very cute!

    ReplyDelete
  64. I like #2 better. It's more simple and kids won't be confused if it is a letter or number.

  66. I'm digging your sentence writing eyes posters! I was wondering if you would be able to change the color background from black to red. My color theme is red and white (baseball stuff). The second set without the bees is the one I'm interested in. Thank you! teachum97@hotmail.com

  67. I love the labels! I would pivot #1 because the bow adds pizazz!

  68. I'm liking number 2 also although they are both super cute!! I love the Writer's Eyes posters...I have the set on the right for my room (or a similar version) I am glad you are enjoying this linky...I am going to try to keep it going as long as I can...I know we all start school at different times.....my start date is right around the corner. Thanks for linking up:)

  72. I like Number 1. However, if it's for a student group then I would use #2 because boys don't usually like bows.
