Fall Colors

Design Team sister, Marge, had asked us to make any project using Fall Colors.  This is what I came up with...

I wasn't exactly in the mood to make "Fall" cards or "Thanksgiving" cards quite yet and I needed a thank you card that had to include a dragon.  I just hope it fits the theme

National S'mores Day

Depending on what calendar you're looking at, some events and observances may not show up.  However, there are so many obscure "holidays" in the states that actually get overlooked!  I think they make a new one up every year!

I found out that August 10th is National S'mores Day and that August 30th is National Marshmallow Toasting Day... who knew?

So, what better way to celebrate these obscure yet yummy holidays?  A chocolate themed project over at My Sheri Crafts! 

Using one of my favorite stamps... here's my take on this theme

... and the inside of the card popped up

Best part of this whole project was getting to eat those chocolates in the picture

My Sheri Crafts #116

Back to School

Yes!  It's that time of the year and Design Team sister, Glenda, had chosen the perfect theme for My Sheri Crafts to celebrate this glorious event!  Can you tell I'm excited for my kids to go back to school?

We were asked to create any project that included a school house or a school bus (although, I think that requirement is no longer in effect).  Anyway, I found an image that had both and decided to use it for my project.  

I wanted to create a card to stick inside my daughters' lunch boxes on their very first day of school as a bit of a surprise.  However, instead of a card, I thought a miniature version of a notebook folder was more appropriate.

I used paper from DCWV: School Stack and I paper clipped the image to make it look more like a flyer.  The apple from Cricut cartridge: Serenade is popped up and I used white gel marker and liquid glass for the "shine"

The inside... I tried my best to mimic a pronged folder that my kids always have to use.  The class schedule is just a sample I used from last year's schedule.  I'll have their real schedules in there once we get them

I used mini silver brads for the prongs and mini silver eyelets for the loops
