What Attitude!

Hello, Happy Monday! This is my last week of summer vacation. I head back to school next week. I do have a couple of classes I have to take for 3 days this week but I will be glad to have them finished before the school year starts. This is usually the week I get everything in order at home because the first couple of weeks at school can be stressful while everyone (kids and adults) get settled in.

I wanted to post this card today, I am giving it to one of the kids that moved on to another school this year. He was a great kid with an awesome attitude about school so I thought this would be perfect for him. I just love these nymph images, they are so much fun to create with. I just got this cutie and I hope eventually to get all of them.

Just Rolling By...

Hello, Happy Thursday! I am posting this cute Penny Back card today while I have a free minute. These are a couple of stamps that I bought along with a bunch of others that a woman was selling because she had no time to stamp anymore. I got a bankers size box full of stamps, CS, DP packs and glue dots and other miscellaneous items that I got to pick out of a basement full of items.
It was a fantastic deal and I am loving everything I picked. The small cat stamp at the bottom of the card is on a wobble so it moves when you shake the the card. Don't you think it is a really cute set.

Girls Just Want to Have Fun!!!

 

 

Hello, Happy Tuesday!! I can't believe that we are almost half way through August. Most of last week was a clean and purge time for me. I can be a real hoarder when it comes to any kind of craft item. Even something that I think I can turn into a craft item. We use to find time at school to fit in a craft for the class every once in a while but those days are changing, there is no time for anything extra. That is what made me decide it was time to clean out and donate alot of stuff. I am also going to put a real effort to use what I have and not buy more DP, flowers, ribbon and embellishments! We'll see how I do.

This week is a really fun week at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations. The challenge this week is Girls Just Want To Have Fun! and we are being sponsored by Sherri Baldy of Besties Digital Stamps. She is offering one lucky person their choice of 5 digis from her store. I just love all her adorable images, don't you? So be sure to come play along with us this week  for your chance to win. I used these adorable girls and used my favorite colors and lots of glitter because what is more fun than lots of sparkle to a girl!!!!!

Hello, Happy Wednesday! The weather here in New England is so beautiful right now. A perfect day to work outside amongst the flowers. This is my last week of summer school then it is a few weeks off before school starts up and I am back to work again.
