Challenge # 30: Fall Colors

Good Morning and Welcome Back for our Weekly Challenge.
The beginning of school has been an exciting time of year for many. Lots of smiles just like Maisie. Here is our card of the week by Pat.
Please fell free to post our badge. If you send me your e-mail (coachfans at cox dot net) I will forward some brads from the Eyelet Outlet. Thanks for playing along!


This week's challenge is preparing us for the next season...Autumn. Since I live in Florida we do not see or feel too many changes, but I remeber when I lived up North the trees were absolutely beautiful as the leaves began to change color. The reds, oranges and yellows are a sight you do not forget.
Here are the Design Team's weekly projects...





I hope you will join us this week for our Fall Colors Challenge. Emma from My Creative Time has kindly donated a set of stamps for the winner.

Stay Creative,
Georgiana

Challenge 29: "Teacher" Showcase

What a super busy week it has been for everyone this week. Between parents getting their children ready for school, kids either heading back or getting ready to go to school for a new year, and/or teachers preparing lessons for their well-rested students, it has been a whirlwind end of the month.

Although we haven't had too many submissions this week, I still wanted to showcase a card I thought was perfect. This is what a teacher looks like at the beginning of the year. Be sure to come back again for another picture of what he will look like later. I am sure he will be slightly frazzled. : )
Thank you Wendy for sharing. Please stop by and visit her, so you can see all her beautiful cards. They are absolutely lovely!

Be sure to grab our new badge and display it proudly!
If you haven't created your card yet, you still have time to enter the Teacher Challenge. I hope you will take the opportunity to show one of those teachers how much you appreciate them. Teaching may not be looked at as the greatest or wealthiest profession, but it sure does affect many lives on a daily basis. Nor is it not all about standardized testing...it is about helping each child reach their greatest potential.
 
Please make a card for just one teacher!
 
Stay Creative,
Georgiana

Challenge 28: "Kids" Showcase

Can you believe it is that time of year? Summer has flown by and kids are everywhere getting ready to go back to school. Our Meet the Teacher is today, so I am going to see all types of kids.  Today is going to be very exciting.

First, I would like to say THANK YOU to Cheryl of Cards by CG for being our first guest. Her tire swing tent card is FABULOUS! She always has amazing projects and she does so many of them with her boys. If you haven't checked out her designs, please do. You will be quite impressed with her versatility.
