CTMH-- Back to School Journal

It's officially "Back to School" time around here!  I've been back for almost 2 weeks already, 4 days of teacher training and a full week of school with students.  Its always tiring the first few days back, mostly the waking up early, getting everyone's things ready in the morning and being busy for hours on end.  I think I'm in the swing of things now though!  Enough to even do some crafting this weekend!!!

Back to School is a wonderful time of year for parents- as the kids go back!  Its also an expensive time of year too with school supplies and new clothes.  Kids are excited too! (Until they reach middle school- where they look like they're still on vacation for the first couple months!)



I've created a couple of these super cute "School Rocks" Journals.  I used the retired paper pack "Denim Days".  I love the blue jean paper in this kit and the pencils are so real looking.  This altered journal is also listed in my Etsy store too ;)

Check out the Heart 2 Heart Challenge blog!  This week's challenge is back to school!

~*~ Holiday Blog Hop ~*~

Welcome to the Paper Secrets Holiday Blog Hop. I made a couple of things to share with you today. I created this lovely paper tree by punching a LOT of 1 1/4" circles of Mistletoe Paper, then used pearl floral pins to secure them in rows to a styrofoam cone.  As I neared the top, I had to use some adhesive so that they did not flare out, but sit in the cone shape.  At the top, I stamped 3 stars and adhered them to the top of the cone.  Supplies: Styrofoam cone Pearl Floral Pins CTMH Mistletoe level 2 paper CTMH Mistletoe Creative Basics paper D1320 Shining Star Stamps I created a second paper tree using instructions from Tracey Mason .  I created an accordion flower with a stamped sentiment for my topper on this one.   Supplies: Styrofoam Cone CTMH Mistletoe Level 2 papers K& Co paper D1380 Just for the Holidays Stamps I created a total of four paper trees to sit upon my mantel!  The "subway art" was a free printable from eighteen25 ....

April Showers Blog Hop

Thanks for joining me for another weekend of Blog Hoppin Fun!   If you have come here from Tina's Blog , you are on the right path!  Keep on hoppin until the end :) April Showers is our theme, and I went with the "shower" theme and made baby cards for baby showers!  I am addicted to making these stacked present cards lately!  I first saw one that my friend Jayma made, who found it on Vicki's blog.  Recently, I saw a couple cute ones on Haley's blog too.   I cut my paper strips at 1.25 tall x 3, 2.25 and 1.5 long.  Add a ribbon down the center, or just a bow on top and you're set!  I used the Sweet Baby stamp set and Polka Dot Alphabet for my sentiments.   Now I'm all set for the next baby shower..... (though I don't know any preggos right now).   This design is also great for Birthday Cards too!!!!  I made two each of these cards and stamped Birthday sentiments on them :) Supplies: BOY: Miracle Level 2 Sweet Baby...

September Stamp of the Month- Family is Forever

Welcome to the September Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for Family is Forever If you have come here from   Judy's Blog ,  you're on the right path.  This month we have 80 amazing artists' blogs for you to visit. This stamp set is beautiful!  Lately I have seen this fun and easy marker technique, so I decided to give it a try with the September Stamp of the Month.    Using the ShinHan Twin Touch Markers : Leaf Green, Turquoise Blue, Vivid Green and Cerulean Blue Light, I colored diagonal streaks across the middle of my card.  Then I used Archival Black Ink to Stamp Family is Forever.  I stamped the little hearts in Lagoon ink and added some Blue and Green Sparkles to the bottom.  I used the Die Cut Card , so I added a piece of the Lagoon Paper Fundamentals to the inside of the card.   The September Stamp of the Month is available from September 1-30.  It is only $5 with a $50 purchase on  my webs...
