Back to School Blog Hop

Hello all, 

Welcome to the Back to School blog hop hosted by me! I'm so excited to be hosting my first blog hop. It is so much fun and I am so honored to have 12 AMAZING ladies join me. Back to School is an exciting time around here. 

My two boys go back to school next Tuesday and I hope my little girl gets into Preschool this September. With them all in school, I will have more uninterrupted time to do more cards! I asked everyone to talk about what back to school means to them. It means buying school supplies, clothes, shoes and meeting teachers...busy, busy, busy. I will be celebrating when they get on the bus Tuesday. I still have so much to do in this house, it will be great to have an opportunity to clear out the rest of these boxes. I made four cards for this special occasion. 

First card: Back to School bus card, the bus is cut from Doodlecharm. I put some cute little PeachyKeen faces in the bus' windows, for kids. You know everyone is not all smiles when it's time for school so, I had to add an angry face. The sentiment is from Joy's Life Holiday Occasions set. 

Second card: Backpacking Back to School, I cut the backpack from Locker talk. The sentiment is computer generated. All paper is from different DCWV stacks. 

Third card: Fist day of School, the cut is from Locker talk. All paper is from PTI.

 Fourth card: High School, the cut is from Locker talk. The paper is from DCWV and I used some twine. This card is the one that means the most, my oldest child is starting High School. He is my baby and he is growing up so fast. When I took him to Freshmen orientation this week I got teary eyed. 

These are my cards for the hop I hope you like them. I have some great giveaways for you! The first is a PTI set; you can win this set by becoming a follower and leaving a comment. 

Second giveaway is an awesome one; some great wrinkled ribbon in fun Halloween colors and Joy's Life Halloween Puns. I know this is a Back to School hop but I thought I'd get you a jump start on Halloween. Donated by Joy, this is a fun Halloween set. To win the Halloween giveaway all you need to do is enter a back to school project. The only rule is no back linking! You have until next Saturday to enter. I will announce the winners on Monday the 22nd. Please go visit all the wonderful blogs on this hop, I hope they inspire you!..
