Back to School Blog Hop

Welcome to the Back to School Blog Hop,
brought to you by the fabulous design teams of:
Made Especially For You
and
GoFish Challenge Blog!

These two design teams have joined together to bring you some fun and crafty inspiration.
Which should inspire you to get started on those back to school projects!
If you've just come across the hop and would like to start at the beginning,
please visit Made Especially For You.

This project is a little 2.5" x 3" cardstock envelope.
The stamps are from Close to My Heart, colored with my Copic Markers.
Attached the stamped image to a 1" strip to make a sliding piece to hold the envelope closed.

On the inside there are two sections that can be used to tuck in a gift card.
Perfect gift for your child's teacher to say THANK YOU!

Challenge Me Monday

This week at Fantabulous Cricut the Design Team members on Team A

are sharing their inspiration for Challenge #121 - Wedding Bliss.

Make a project for a special couple, (Wedding or Anniversary).

Use at least one (1) Cricut cut on your project.

And remember to list on your blog the cartridge(s) used.

I have to admit, I do not have many cartridges with Wedding images.

I did find an image in the Wild Card Cartridge.

Page 63 <Cake) using the Icon feature, cut at 3-1/2".

I was able to create a simple, but elegant card with this image.

I love Red, Black and White together.

I also used George & Basic Shapes cartridge, page 108 circle. 

White circle cut at 4"  and the Black with white polka dots cut at 1-1/2"

Sentiment is from Close to my Heart.

All other supplies were from my stash.

I hope you will be able to play along with us this week at FCCB

Challenge begins on Monday, July 23 and runs through Midnight (Mountain Time), July 29

Have a great week.
