Hello there! I can't believe that Summer is almost over! So sad. :( I don't like when it's time for the kids to go back to school. I love when they are home. How can you not ever want to be with your children?? And now this year, both of my babies will be going! I can't believe my oldest is going in to 4th grade! And the little one, who turns 5 on the 28th, is going to preschool. I actually had him enrolled for Kindergarten this coming year but decided to send him to preschool instead. This year our school district starts full day kindergarten and since he is only turning 5 a few days before school starts, I just didn't think he was ready to go all day. (I don't think I was ready either!) If, only, I could make a potion to keep them young! {Sigh!}

And since, we are talking school....This week's new challenge at the super fabulous Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog is....BACK TO SCHOOL!

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by My Mind's Eye! For my card, I am using the Remarkable 6x6 Paper Pad by MME. Love the sweet papers in this pad. I am also using the Best Teacher Clear Stamp Set by Clearly Besotted. Love that cute sentiment and apple! I used Black StazOn and Simon Says Stamp Schoolhouse Red, Fern Green and Dark Chocolate inks

I finished off the card using none other than some May Arts Natural Twine and a Pearl! ;)

And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

Do you use Instagram ?  If so, please add #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too. 

And...all this month we have a super fun Kids Summer Vacation Challenge! It's Anything Goes and it's open to kids from ages 2-16! There will be not 1 but 3 prizes given away!! :)

                 

Hope you have a wonderful day!

♥ Getting Sketchy with MFT ♥

This week at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog we are showcasing products by My Favorite Things. And when I saw this week's fun sketch over at the My Favorite Things Blog, I thought I would play along! I used the School Days Clear Stamp Set by MFT on my card. Did I mention before how much I love this set?! :)

I used papers by Farmhouse Paper Company as well as a Doodlebug Heart, star brad and a Maya Road Mini Wood Ruler.

Here is the fun MFT Sketch! You still have a couple of days left to join in on the fun! ;)

Have a wonderful weekend!

hugs...




P.S. The falling hearts on my blog were getting on my nerves! LOL 

♥ School Days ♥

I'm so sad Summer is almost over already! My oldest will be starting 3rd grade and I can't believe it!! Wasn't he just born!? And my youngest is turning 4 on the 28th and starting preschool! Too much for this mommy to handle! I want my babies under my mommy wings all the time! Am I selfish? Maybe, but in this case, probably normal mommy selfishness! ;)

We have a brand new challenge starting today at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week's challenge is... BACK TO SCHOOL!

The Simon Says DT are showcasing products by My Favorite Things! I am using the School Days Clear Stamp Set on my card. Love all of the cute images in this set! Perfect to make a card for a student or teacher!

I paired up the stamp set with a Maya Road Wood Mini Ruler, some twine and Liquid Pearls in White Opal.
The papers are by Crate Paper from the On Trend line. I used the Lipstick Red and Audrey Blue Stamp Pads by Simon Says Stamp as well as a few Distress Markers.

And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

Have you seen the new Simon Says Stamp Store Website?? You can see it for yourself HERE! Happy Shopping!! :)

And lastly, don't forget, the entire month of August, we are having a special Summer Vacation Kid's Challenge for children ages 2-16!

We have not 1 but 3 awesome prize parcels up for grabs! So get your kids crafting and join in on the fun!! You have until August 31st! ;)

Enjoy your day! :)

♥ Back to School ♥

I can't believe school starts in 2 weeks already! I'm sad! :( I love when both of my kids are with me all day! I'm selfish! But it is a good thing for Antonio. I think he gets bored after awhile. It's good for him to have a routine and discipline (homework). I still can't believe he is starting 2nd grade! Yikes! Next year when my little one goes to Pre-School, I will really be sad! I'll be alone in a huge house all by myself for a few hours! What will I do?? Make a few cards!!?? Maybe, just a few! ;)

Well, this week we have the perfect challenge for this time of year at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! "Back to School"!

The Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Maya Road! One of my fave companies!! I used a cute Kraft Library card with/ Envelope. I inked it slightly with some white ink and added a white paper clip to it. The "no. 1 Teacher" is from the Just My Type Clear Stamp Set. The envelopes are cute because you could also tuck a gift card in there for teacher too!

I finished it off with a cute Mini Ruler also by Maya Road, the chipboard apple is also from an old Maya Road chipboard set, the papers are by Farmhouse Paper Company, FYI Paper Pad.

And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

Well, I'm not as itchy as I was before from this Poison Ivy, but it's still there! the doctor said 2-3 weeks!! ughh! NOT fun!!

Enjoy your day!!
