Back to School - H2H Challenges

Hello and happy Monday! I have some cards that I created for sending my girls back to school. I always send a card to school early in the first week of school to my daughters teachers offering my time as a volunteer in the class, a bit about our daughter, and how to reach me with any needs. The minute I saw the theme of Cuteness Overlaod at H2H challenges I knew these were the cards for this challenge. I just adore these little kids and school house, I am a bit sad that my girls are getting older and out growing these little kids.

Summer Bucket List - H2H Duly Noted

The theme this week at Heart 2 Heart Challenges is Duly Noted. When I hear Duly Noted, I think of notes, to do lists, noting or documenting things. I came up with the idea for a layout with a summer bucket list the minute I saw the Central Park paper pack and knew it would be a great one for capturing a snap shot of all the summer fun in one layout, kind of like a review of the summer. 

Here is the layout I created, this layout was created for my Central Park workshop and was super fun to design for my group. 

Products Used:

Paper:

- Central Park

- Poppy, Pacifica, Willow, Lemon, Glacier, Bashful, Mink, Black & White Daisy card stock
