Smart Cookie!

Happy Tuesday!

Here in my neck of the blog-world school has already begun. Thankfully- not for my kids (yet) I'll be a wreck next fall when my son starts Kindergarten!

So... this week's new Tiddly Inks challenge is... BACK TO SCHOOL!



I found some super cute cursive handwriting and number washi tape at the dollar spot at Target, and paired it with some school themed patterned paper from my 6x6 pads stash. The yellow flag is from my new favorite die cut from Creative Basics, Basic Stitched Flags. The sentiment comes as part of the Wryn digi set.

Hope you are all ready for Back to School where you are... and hope to see you squeeze in some time to play along!

OH, the Places You'll Go!

I have a few more cards to share today- this is my 2nd post today! Please check out my first card for the Tiddly Inks Challenge HERE!

I've really been dying to play along with the now monthly challenges over at The Greeting Farm! I'm squeezing in just under the deadline for this month's 'Back to School' challenge!

I've had this sweet Oliver & Amelia- Little Dreamer set for what seems like forever and never inked it up til NOW! While it's still few years before my son goes to school (thank goodness- because I am SO not ready for that stage yet!) I had to use the lil Oliver! :)



I had this Dr. Seuss quote stamp laying around and thought it was a perfect fit!

I have one more card to post... coming soon...

School is COOL!

Happy September!

& Happy new Tiddly Inks challenge day! This week's challenge is a "School Rules" theme.  School starts pretty early here in AZ- they've been back for almost a month already!

Even though my kids aren't in school yet, I love making back to school themed cards.  They usually go to my nieces' awesome teachers!

If you follow me on Instagram (@lysaqr), you would have seen that I recently scored some deals on 6x6 paper pads - including We R Memory Keepers Hall Pass paper collection! I just love the colors in it, and played off those to create my card...



I'm wondering which one of my nieces will claim this one...

Thanks for stopping by- still rolling out more scrapbook layouts will share soon!

Special Thanks

Since the school year has already started out here, I thought it would be a good idea to get some thank you cards ready!

My son is too young for school (whew!) but my two nieces that live nearby have some pretty awesome teachers this year, so I thought I'd get started on making some cards for my sister when she needs them throughout the year!

I used this super adorable Bookworm girl from Chi Chi Memories!

Back to School!

Hi again!
(2nd post of the day.. please scroll down or click here for the Paper Sweeties Blog Hop)

Jodi is hosting FFF this week at The Greeting Farm! It's that time of year again.. Back to School! I definitely miss parts of back to school season, but I do love me some school supplies! :) I know I'll be a wreck when it's time for my son to start school in a couple of years!

In the meantime, my nieces go back to school, well one goes BACK while her sister is starting kindergarten! I decided to make a sweet card to give her this weekend along with a little something special (to be blogged soon...)



Be sure to check out all the details on the challenge over at the TGF blog! Hope to see you play along!
