♥ If Teachers were Apples... ♥

Hello there! I can't believe that Summer is almost over! So sad. :( I don't like when it's time for the kids to go back to school. I love when they are home. How can you not ever want to be with your children?? And now this year, both of my babies will be going! I can't believe my oldest is going in to 4th grade! And the little one, who turns 5 on the 28th, is going to preschool. I actually had him enrolled for Kindergarten this coming year but decided to send him to preschool instead. This year our school district starts full day kindergarten and since he is only turning 5 a few days before school starts, I just didn't think he was ready to go all day. (I don't think I was ready either!) If, only, I could make a potion to keep them young! {Sigh!}

And since, we are talking school....This week's new challenge at the super fabulous Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog is....BACK TO SCHOOL!

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by My Mind's Eye! For my card, I am using the Remarkable 6x6 Paper Pad by MME. Love the sweet papers in this pad. I am also using the Best Teacher Clear Stamp Set by Clearly Besotted. Love that cute sentiment and apple! I used Black StazOn and Simon Says Stamp Schoolhouse Red, Fern Green and Dark Chocolate inks

I finished off the card using none other than some May Arts Natural Twine and a Pearl! ;)

And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

Do you use Instagram ?  If so, please add #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too. 

And...all this month we have a super fun Kids Summer Vacation Challenge! It's Anything Goes and it's open to kids from ages 2-16! There will be not 1 but 3 prizes given away!! :)

                 

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Christmas is just a little more than 4 months away! Oh my! Where has this year gone? I'm just not ready for Christmas yet! Fall, yes! But not winter and Christmas!

I made this card using the current Mojo Monday sketch. I can see myself using this one for a long time! I used papers and stickers from the new My Mind's Eye Christmas line called All is Bright. One of my faves at the moment!

I also used a lot of Liquid Pearls in White Opal, some seam binding and a die cut star.

Here is the Mojo Sketch.

I'll be back shortly with a new GIVEAWAY!! ♥

♥ Mojo Monday 244 ♥

Hi! Just stopping in quickly with a card for this week's Mojo Monday Sketch. Absolutely love this one! So many possibilities!!

 I used some paper from My Mind's Eye, Nostalgia as well as a layered sticker. The cute banner tag is by Chic Tags.

 I dressed it up with some buttons, Prima trim, seam binding, small wooden spool, a sewing needle and Liquid Pearls.

 The cute little "I Love You" sticker is by Cosmo Cricket.

 Here is the fabulous sketch!

 Have a wonderful night!!

♥ Simon Says... Father's Day/For a Male! ♥

Father's Day is right around the corner! June 17th will be here before we know it! So why not get a head start on those cards for Dad! You can even make a birthday card or whatever you want as long as it's for a special man in your life! So join this week's challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog and show us your Male cards!!

For my card I used a simple yet fabulous stamp by Inkadinkado called simply "Happy Father's Day"! I just stamped it in Black ink by Memento and then matted the image onto blue and kraft cardstock.

I also used some papers from My Mind's Eye Be Amazing 6x6 Paper Pad. I love the soft, muted yet manly papers in this pad. I finished it off with some hemp twine, Maya Road Star Pin and some Liquid Pearls in Platinum Pearl.

And, don't forget, Heidi will generously give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

I will have my giveaway winner up here in a couple of days! Thank you to all who joined!! :) Good Luck everyone!!
