An Afternoon Delight

Hello! Happy Wednesday! This week at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations we have a real fun and easy challenge, the season FALL. We would like to see anything that makes you think of this wonderful time of year, the leaves, colors, pumpkins or anything else you can think of. We would love to have you come play with us!

I chose this card for this challenge since I see all the kiddos getting off the bus after school and it brings back memories of my own two kids especially my son because he would run off the bus and want to go play because it was getting dark earlier. The one thing is whoever they were playing with they would come running if I asked if they wanted to take a break and have a snack, usually C.C. cookies.

Here are some other fabulous challenges that fit my card

A Fall Beauty

Hello, Happy Tuesday! It definitely feels like Fall right now while I am typing this post. I actually put on a sweatshirt. I love this time of year in New England, it is going to be short lived though, they say the muggies are coming back by the middle of the week and it could possibly hit 90 around here or close to it on Wednesday. We have no AC at school so it makes for a very warm classroom. I am loving being able to create Fall themed cards right now, with the warm, rich colors. I love this Bestie image and thought of Autumn as soon as I saw her.

This week the challenge at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations is one of my personal favorites, Polka Dots! I use them on almost every thing I create. So if you are like me come over and play with us this week, I would love to see your polka dot creation!!!!

First Day Excitement!

Hello, Happy Holiday! I am getting ready to get back to school this week so I thought I would post this school card. I love to see all the kindergartner kiddos coming through the door on the first day. They are all excited (and a little nervous) when the bus door opens and into the school they come. They are very happy to see a lot of the staff smiling and ready to help them find their way to their new class. Within 2 weeks they are pros though and need no help and want no help as they get off the buses.

Here are some wonderful challenges that fit my card
