Back To School

The project I am showing you today is actually something I made long before my blog was born. I made this for my classroom using an old frame, scrapbook paper, sizzix tag dies, buttons, baubles, doo-dads, brads, clips and more! It sits on a file cabinet behind my desk and makes me smile every time I see the bright cheerful colors and the fun school embellishments.

I started back to school today with a week of workshops, meetings and getting the classroom ready for the students next Tuesday. I hate to ignore my blog, but posts will not be as consistent until I get my new routine under some kind of control. But the good news is that while our superintendent and others were talking this morning, I sketched out several card ideas for when I do get the time to make them a reality!

Off to stamp some more!
