School Wall Hanging

It's back to school time and anyone that knows me knows I change the decorations around my home every month.  So as I was saying it's back to school time and I didn't have enough school themed decorations to use for the month of September.

I put my thinking cap on LOL and made this school wall hanging!  My thinking cap works once in a while.  :)

I used the school bus image from the stamping boutique, design papers from DCWV the grade school stack, the sizzix notepaper die, and hambo stamps pencil image.

AND.... voila a school themed wall hanging in no time at all!  *smiles* Just a few more decorations and my home will be ready for September!

This wall hanging won a top 3 spot on the stamping boutique challenge blog!

Hambo Hoedown has another challenge and this challenge is to use the pencil digi and the colors RED, BLUE and YELLOW.  I had a hard time with this challenge for some reason.

The scrapbook tag I created has the hambo - pencil digi,  Sizzix - file folder, alphabet border made using the silhouette, and the Sizzix accordian flower.  Of course, I had to put a little boy button!  LOL

Paper Playtime - Stamping Monday - Vacation theme

Welcome to the Paper Playtime Stamping Monday!  Our theme this challenge is "Vacation"!  Where did you go on vacation this summer?

For my DT cards, I created the following:

On this card I used a "Pink Cat Studio" image called Cat Geisha.  You can find this image here.

The house and fan were made using the Pagoda Cartridge from Cricut.  The paper is origami paper I got while in the Japan store at Disney.

I used Bugaboo images for the above card and bookmark.  You can find these stamps here. The little sunglasses are a button.  Too cute right?
