YNS Sneak Peek Day 2: Back to School!

Welcome to Day 2 of Sneak Peeks for the YNS new release on Thursday! It also happens to be the first day of school for the kids, so I thought a school-related project was only fitting!

The sentiment is from the soon-to-be-released set, Heartfelt Sentiments and it's stamped on the smallest of a new Your Next Die nested set that can be used for labels or bookmarks. I also used another new release nested set from Your Next Dies--stars! So excited about the stars, because there are a gazillion uses for stars...come see how I've used them in another way when you stop back for our YNS New Release Blog Hop this Thursday.

Last, but not least is the pencil itself...a cut file from Lori Whitlock that I purchased through the Silhouette Online Store. Ü

On your way out the door, be sure to head on over to the YNS Blog for more Sneak Peeks!

You Are Appreciated!

Each year local businesses in the school district where I work put together a little 'Welcome Back' package for our staff and I was asked to make thank you notes for our little care packages. Here's what I came up in a 5x7 size that will hold all of our signatures.

The sentiments are Kim Hughes' Making the Grade,  and the apple is part of Kerri Bradford's This & That: School digi kit. I love that you can take bits and pieces of Kerri's kits for card making or scrapping...so darn versatile and affordable! I wanted to keep this card quick and simple as there are a million and one things to be done this week, and I'm pretty darn happy with this CAS card!

I'll be back tomorrow with a fun little blog hop for YNS, so stay tuned!

Belated Boss's Day Wishes

A quick post to share a Boss's Day card I made for our elementary school principal...a little late, but as the saying goes: better late than never! So...I ran out of room and chipboard, so Boss's Day is actually Boss' Day in my world..thinking they might just want to change it to my way, ha!

Have a great day!

School Staff Appreciation Cards

I was asked to make cards to be placed in gift baskets for our school kitchen staff, maintenance crew and bus drivers. Here's what I came up, with the bus card created using a purchased template from Lynn Pratt.

ETA: In case you're wondering why I've left the horizontal layer hanging over the edge...these are card fronts, trimmed to 4 3/4 x 6 3/4" that will be placed on 5x7" cards that are currently being distributed for staff signatures.
