More Back to School Fun

Hello friends! I have a little something new to show you today. I made another back to school card and I used one of the adorable new C.C. Designs digi-images available from All That Scraps. They have introduced an adorable little girl named Kiki La Rue and she is wayyyy too cute. There are 3 different styles of Kiki images and today's is Shy Kiki. Have a look-see...

And the inside of the card...

I played around just a bit with the image after printing and added a stamped apple from another set to make her more "schoolish." I absolutely love her little skirt and her chacha braids. Isn't she precious? I came up with several ideas for this image so you will be seeing her here again real soon. The sentiment is printed on my computer.

I thought this would be a great card for a sweet little girl starting back to school this fall. I had my little princess in mind but she is already back to school so I will listing this card in my Etsy shop very soon.

Well, our week is more than half over. A weekend is just around the corner. Yay! Everyone have a great end of the week. Thanks for stopping by!

An Apple For Teacher

Even though my children are long since back in school, I know that most of the country is still out school shopping and making plans for Labor Day. I decided that maybe a few of the extra teacher cards would be a nice addition to my Etsy shop as well as an applicable post for here. Today's card is another one of my entries for the Anni-Verve-Sary Sketch Challenge on the Verve forum a few weeks ago. I think it is the only one I haven't already posted here too. I used these for my kids' teachers after the first week of school. Take a look...

That cute little back to school puppy image is a relatively new digi-image from All That Scraps and the sketch is #AVS202. I printed the sentiment on my computer so it would fit just right in a small circle at the top of the oval. When I was designing this card, I tried a plain red cardstock panel behind the image but it needed a little something so I made my own designer paper by stamping abc's in versamark ink all over the red cardstock. I like the effect. I almost never use that very common technique and I can't imagine why because I love it here. Another point to mention is the blue background. Notice the polka dot texture? Like it? It is one of the new QuicKutz embossing folders. I am very happy with the few I have so far because they are full A2 size instead of the slightly smaller original Cuttlebug folders.

Well, I think I'll go for now. Groceries need to be purchased and beds need changing so it is time to get the new week started. Have a great Monday for yourself!
