Back to school

I am over joyed  that this Monday my last child will be starting school. Is that bad? My 2 little ones started school August 6th and 20 days little my junior higher is starting. I am looking forward to some hours alone and the quiet. Oh the peace and quiet - is what I am most excited about. Sorry if you don't agree...so in honor of the actual start of MY back to school year - here are some cards I made to wish my kids a fantastic year.

I love that all I used was some scraps of paper and some letter stickers along with some opened SCHOOL chipboard stickers I had left over. NO stamping involved...but cute cards none the less, right?

 

I think this card (above) could work for an older student maybe even in college...ya think?

 

I think this one could work for a middle school aged kid (my girl is starting 8th grade)

 

and well this was made with my 1st & 6th grader in mind. However, it's not really cutesy but gets the message across, right?

 

Well, as you can see I am a little excited. Don't hate me because I am truthful please!

I am linking this up to the following challenges this week:

 

AUD SENTIMENTS- anything but a bday card w/sentiment

CUTE CARD THURSDAY - back to school

DELIGHTFUL CHALLENGE - back to school/primary colors

DL ART THURSDAY CHALLENGE - back to school

PAPER CRAFTING JOURNEY- anything goes

are hosting a blog hop and you're invited...to play along in our

LEARN WITH JOY/photo inspiration...

a back to school challenge, if you will.

Here is my take on our challenge...A sweet little BACK TO SCHOOL notebook.

Here is the cover

and the inside...I guess it's more of a sketch book rather than a notebook...but it'll work

with any back to school ideas or plans...I used a fun image by CRAFTY CAT---her images are amazing...please go check them out....

we have three sponsors, and will be giving away two prizes for participating in the challenge and one prize for participating in the blog hop. You don't have to follow me (unless you really want to *wink*) and visit the other blogs on my list and leave a comment on their posts for your chance to win a fun prize or 2. The more comments you leave, the more chances you have to win. Easy Peasy!!!
