Back To School

....well, not for me.  After 33 years teaching in the high school setting, I just substitute now and then for a little extra fun/mad money. Funny how I don't miss the paperwork, yet now that I'm retired, I surround myself with paper....ok...but it's PRETTY PAPER...haha

The image is from Lacy Sunshine called Chrissy Crystal Whisk Fairy .  I got it free for participating last month.  Their challenge theme this month at Lacy Sunshine is "Back to School".

I used my new Lawn Fawn Stitched Party Banner Die Set and my new Lil Inker Stitched Flag.  It took me a long time to win the fairy charms on Ebay at the price I wanted to pay.  They seemed to be very popular.

NEW RELEASE Day

at Paper Pretties

It's back to school time, but learning is never on vacation....even in the summer! Paper Pretties has two new wonderful releases with a "Back To School" theme.  I went off the grid though and chose a Mark Twain quote for my sentiment.  But remember, each image comes with 2 sentiments....how great is that!

The ruler is an svg from the adorable Crafty Mice SVG Collection by SVGCuts.

Teacher's Thought For Today! (+ Friday Freebie!)

       These will be the last 2 cards for our education theme challenges for Scrappily Ever After. Friday is always "Photo" inspiration day.  I decided to make TWO cards.  The first card has a classroom teacher theme...obvious since I was a high school teacher.  I used a Bugaboo "Crabby Cathy" digi, and public domain picture of pencils and a flag. It's also for Lorraine's Simon Says Stamp  and SimonSaysStamp challenge.

Size: A2

The shaped card was made using the "Pencil Guy" from My Scrap Chick, using the same sentiment.
