First Day of School Blues

Today is the first day of school for us. I should be happy right?? This is a day I never look forward to. Summer was too short we had only 8 weeks and 1 day, it's just not enough time to spend with the kids. This year is worse my baby starts kindergarden tomorrow.

My entry as Guest DT member for my LSS Photo Scraps "Halloween Treat Containers"

As you may remember I won a contest to be a guest designer for the month of August at my LSS. This is my entry as guest designer. I was allowed to choose from the 6 new lines from MME. I chose this one Boo To You. With my cricut and the paper dolls cartridge I made the witch to alter this prima flower tin. I also put some primas on the lid along with a spider web brad in the center. I used mini monograms for the scallop and circle, and paper dolls for the goblin on the sour cream container. I hope I get another opportunity to design for them soon. I had so much fun designing these "Halloween Treat Containers" Thanks for letting me share.

Top Note Die "Faux Quilt Card"

I was excited to receive this die from my friend Kristen Long. I saw a tutorial online by Dawn Griffith to make this card and I had to give it a try. I had a blast. This might be my new favorite card. (sorry the picture is blurry)
