Beary Best Back To School Wishes

Hi guys!
Happy Thursday!
Are you all ready for the weekend?

here to show you a cute little card that showcases those awesome

This week the design team is showing you projects that
have the theme of Back To School!

I decided to make a card to send to my daughter, who is away at college, to wish her luck this school year.


For my card, I cut out that adorable little teddy bear from the Teddy Bear Parade Cricut Lite cartridge and paired it up with that awesome sentiment from the Punny Animals stamp set.

Look at all the adorable sentiments on the Punny Animals stamp set:

A Little Something Yummy~Teacher's Gift

Hello everyone! Laura here from Laura's Crafts & More...This week the DT is making projects for back-to-school! I have a freshman in college & a sophomore in HS so I don't usually make Back-to-School gifts anymore but this year I have a new member of our family to make for...my brother is engaged & his fiancee has a 7 yr old daughter! So this is what I made for her to give to her teacher! I'm so glad to have a "little one" to share my crafts with again! 

  A few years ago, a friend of mine gave me a big box full of these plastic apples! These are so easy to decorate and spiffy up to make a cute, quick gift for any teacher! 

 And here it is filled up with Hershey Hugs!

It's Back to School Time!

Greetings, crafty friends, Julie here from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers, hoping you are having a fantastic Labor Day weekend.
With this being Labor Day, it also means school starts tomorrow here in the small town where I live, so our 'Back to School' theme this week with the design team is perfect!
When I was looking for ideas, I saw this shaped card, and knew what I wanted to do.  What do you think?
 

Wouldn't this be a fun card to slip in a lunch box or leave on your favorite teacher's desk? I used the Joy's Life stamp set, Punny Animals. There are many great puns on this set.  You'll find this set and all of Joy's wonderful stamps in the Joy's Life store.

 
Come back tomorrow for more inspiration from the Joy's Life design team and visit my blog if you want details on how I made this card.

Record this Day file box!

"your a Super kid"

Happy September everyone!
Maria here from Five Simple Things.
This week the Joy's Life team
will be sharing Back to School projects.

recycled box, washi tape,
Echo Park papers
Joy's Life stamps


My project this week helps to encourage a positive attitude
and creates a beautiful memory file over the years.

Record this Day file box.

Each day after school, ask your child to tell you something awesome about their day, then jot it down or have them write 
it out if they're old enough. 

It's a great way to start a conversation and encourage them to 
think about the good in each day!



I created divider cards with scrap paper, number stickers 
and Joy's Life, My Hero stamps, 
so many encouraging sentiments!
