DTC #81 - Back to School or Birthday

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are having a fabulous week!! It's time for another challenge at Decorate to Celebrate. The theme this week is Back to School...I can't believe it's that time already. The summer just flew by. So let's celebrate everything wonderful about teachers, apples, education or birthdays with your table decorations, party banners, pennants, yard signs, cupcakes, party favors and more :)

For my back to school project, I created a colored pencil vase. I saw this on Pinterest and thought it was adorable :) I had some old pencils that I have never used so I wrapped them around a glass jar. The gorgeous flowers are my beloved Hibiscus. I've had it for over five years. I bring it inside in the winter and then put it out on the deck in the summer. It blooms like crazy!!

Here's a shot without the flowers.

The tag is a Spellbinders die. The sentiment is from Craftin Desert Diva's School Zone stamp set. The ribbon is from my stash.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. DL.Art - August Linky
2. Doubleclick - AKA ABusyBee - Back to School
3. Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
4. Little Scrap Pieces - Show It Off Saturday

Now it's your turn!! Head on over to DTC to see the amazing projects my talented design team sisters have created for today's challenge!! Then link up your school zone or birthday projects!! I can't wait to see what you create :)
