Dream while you Read!

Welcome to my spot this chilly blistery day in September!  My boy started High School yesterday and he survived!  The best thing is he gets 70 minutes of study hall as a class!  So, "maybe" less homework!  I can only hope!  Well enough about me, on to the real goodies.

There is a challenge starting today at the Divas by Design Challenge Blog!  We want you to create a project of your choice with the

"Back to School"  theme

We are sponsored by CraftySentiment 

This is Amy Looking Out

If you ask me, she's looking out to find her way around the world and her first prospective location is PARis!  But first, she's going to read up on it and maybe learn some French in school with the bookie mark! hehe!

So, the funnest part of this card is the stretch choker with the magnetic bottle cap!  Yep, you heard me, interchangeable bottle cap that magnetically attaches to the choker whenever you want to change it up!  It was actually a request by a craft sale patron and I couldn't wait to get them started, should be a huge success at the school cafeteria on September 17th.


This has been a great week so far, so thanks for joining me, don't forget to hop over to Divas by Design for both the new challenge and inspiration from a very talented DT! You have a whole week to enter so join us for the fun!  On to my little creation:

As Girlie As It Gets!

    Happy hump day! I love it when a new challenge comes in the middle of the week! Clears my weekends a little more for family and fun time! Speaking of fun, WOOHOO, Mothers Day was fabulous! Breakfast out with both of my kids and hubby, then to the movies for some hunk o' licious "THOR" then dinner out with no work or clean up. Just me and my tulips sitting around in the sun enjoying life!

Well it's challenge time again over at Diva's by Design. This challenge is "For the Girls" and our sponsor is Crafty Sentiments. Be sure to stop by and enter this challenge to win some great prizes and show me your fabulous creations. The image I used is by Sugar Nellie but the Sentiment is one of my favorite from Crafty Sentiment Designs.

I made a very simple looking card for its curves and the clean white + one look because it is a very feminine and girlie look, I know a little girl that would love to get this one from Aunt Tammy!
