DL.ART Thankful Thursday #212 ~ Back to School

Happy Thursday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week!! It's time for a new Thankful Thursday Challenge at DL.ART. The theme for this week's challenge is Back to School, or you could always substitute a Thank You card. If you use the code l01210, Diana will give you a 10% discount at DL.ART!!

For my cards, I went with a very CAS-for-me style!! I know - shocking, right?? No flowers!! I wanted to use the Avery Elle Bookmark and Stamp set I've had for a while but never used.

The papers are from Maja Designs. The doily is a Cherry Lynn French Pastry die. The bookmark is behind a Avery Elle Wonky Stitches die. Layered on top is a Technique Tuesday Magic Circle Die. The stamps and circles are from My Craft Spot (no longer in business).

This beautiful ribbon is Red from The Rainbow Bundle and I tied it off with Red Twine.

This beautiful ribbon is Blue from The Rainbow Bundle and I tied it off with Blue Twine.

I am entering these in the following challenges:

Now it's your turn!! Head on over to DL.ART to see the amazing projects created by my design team sisters. Then link up your Back to School projects. I can't wait to see what you create :)

Thank You Teacher

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are having a fabulous week!! I have a thank you card for a teacher to share with you today :)

The papers are from Prima's School memories paper stack. The edges were inked with Tim Holtz Old Paper Distress Ink. The beautiful crinkle ribbon is from my sweet friend Karen of Little Scrap Pieces. The button is a Spellbinders die.

Teacher was cut from a TH Wordplay die. I cut it first in cardboard and then the patterned paper. Every other letter was popped up with foam tape.

Three layers of Tiny Doily Dies from My Craft Spot were used for the sentiment. Thank You is also from My Craft Spot, the Simply Sentiments stamp set.

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.
