BBTB2 - Back To School Supplies

Happy Monday!!!

Oh my, my life has gotten busy!

I went back to work after a 6 1/2 year break (kids),

and I can't believe the difference it has made

in how I don't have time for anything!

Especially crafting :(

Luckily, I made time this last week to get a card done

for the challenge I am hosting over at BBTB2!

And because it is Back To School time, I thought

it would be a perfect theme for this week.

But to add a little something to the challenge,

let's see School Supplies on your projects!

I pulled out my Recess Lite cartridge and cut out a few of the

super cute images and displayed them on my card.

The paper is from DCWV and

the sentiment stamp is from

Craftin' Desert Divas.

Please join us this week over at BBTB2!

School Zone Stamp Set

You can purchase this set HERE.

The DT was so lucky to have some amazing products to

use from Clearsnap - a colorful ColorBox ink pad and some daubers.

I'm totally converted to the daubers!

So I inked around the edges of my base card and my blue pattern papers

with the fabulous blue ink from ColorBox.

I used the Recess Cartridge for the backpack.

LOVE this cut!!!

I also used paper from DCWV Grade School paper stack

and some other scraps in my stash.

The twine is Trendy Twine Blueberry - LOVE!

And the bling is from Darice (JoAnn's)

Here is the inside:

I kept it super simple, but inked around the edges of

the white cardstock mat and pattern papers with the

same blue ink.

Seriously, the daubers are FABULOUS!!!

I hope that you will join us for the linky party

over at Craftin' Desert Divas.

Here is a video showing how my card came together:

BBTB2 - Apple for the Teacher

Happy Monday!

We have another challenge starting for you over at BBTB2!

Can you believe school is here?!?!

Our theme for this week is to create a Back To School project

featuring an Apple!

I cut this apple from the Recess Cartridge and

the yellow mat from Elegant Edges.

I popped both of these up on some foam tape.

The "A" and "is for" are both cut from Nate's ABC's.

These are adhered straight on the b/g paper

which is from DCWV "School Days"

I added some brads in the corners for extra embellishment.

Super easy to put together!

I hope that you will join us this week for our

School Challenge over at BBTB2.

I am also going to enter this in over at

Exploring Cricut and Hiding In My Craft Room

for the Back to School challenges over there.

Decorate To Celebrate - School Days

Hey All!!!!

Happy Wednesday!!!

How is everyone's week going?

I hope you have all been able to get some crafting done!

I try to everyday :)

A new challenge has started over at Decorate To Celebrate all

about School Days & Going Back To School!

Well, the countdown has started here at our house for

KINDERGARTEN!!!

I know it may not be that exciting,

but I have waited my son's whole life for this day!

Now, he will only be in school for 3 hours,

but 3 hours EVERYDAY he will be out of the house!

Don't get me wrong, I love my "bestest buddy",

but OH MY he is a handful of energy

and it will be so nice to have him

use that energy on school!!!

So anyway, I know that Box Tops are

the thing to collect once you start school,

so I thought that I would create something

to put these in that would be fun for my son.

WARNING: PICTURE OVERLOAD :)

So here is my project:

We just recently went through one of the large Taco Seasoning

containers from Costco and as I was about to throw it away,

I thought, "No, I could make something out of this."

Good thing I held onto it :)

My paper comes from an All Seasons Pack from

The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby).

All my cuts come from the Recess Cartridge.

And I have popped them all up on some

foam tape.

The words/phrases were on one of the sheets of paper

in the same All Season pack from Hobby Lobby.

I just cut them out and adhered them to

some purple cardstock.

The ribbon was given to me, so

I don't know where it is from.

My son really liked how it turned out!

He is excited to start filling this up!

I hope that you will join us for this School Days/Back To School challenge

over at Decorate To Celebrate

and show us some of the fun projects you have created!

And please remember you can always link up Birthday projects.

And although cards and layouts are fabulous,

we are not that type of a challenge blog!

We want to see projects more along the lines of

decorations, invitations, or party favors.

Thank you!
