For my project today I decided to make two cards to keep in my stash for emergencies.  The first one is a one layer card that is great for sending in the mail. 
I used distress inks, stamps from Avery Elle and CTMH.  It was a quick and easy card to make.

Here is the second card.



For this card I covered the entire thing with washi tape from recollections and added die cuts from Spring Fling by Pebbles.  This was also a quick and easy card to put together.

I am here today to share my pumpkin spice challenge project.  I decided to scrapbook some old pictures.  These are about 10 years old.  Anyway his little outfit seemed like good fall colors so away I went.





I hope that creating these pages helps me get motivated to scrap more older photos.  Older pictures bring back so many memories and remind me of how fast time goes by.  



I used Paper from DCWV the lodge stack and Indian summer.  I also used cardstock from CTMH.  I cut the pumpkins freehand.  I used cricut cartridge Art Philosophy for the title and greenery.

Let's head on it to the classroom and see these amazing back to school projects!

My kids started 5th & 6th grade this year and I can hardly  believe it.  It seems like not to long ago they were just starting preschool and kindergarten.  Anyway this year I was a bit more excited than them to start school.  They were excited but didn't want it to show it especially in a first day of school picture.
