A-B-C and 1-2-3

Welcome to the August edition of Around the World on Wednesday!  This month we have an A-B-C and 1-2-3 theme.  

Since we are in full on back to school mode here, I thought it would be fun to create a couple of encouraging cards for some extra special kiddos in my life.

I brought together the books and birds from Bird's Eye View, the pencil from Trusty Tools and sentiments from Saying Hey and Kiddin' Around for this bright and cheerful cards!

I used every Brights Collection Stampin' Blend, plus Summer Splash...so much fun! 

Keep on hopping along to see what  Jan Clothier has to share with us...I promise you will love it!

All Kinds of Amazing

Ready or not, it's back to school time. I am savoring every last minute of my summer break before I return to work on Monday.  Boo!  Ready or not, it's time to kick off a new school year and this weeks TGIF Challenges Sketch Challenge was a perfect for a 1st day of school card.

If you haven't guessed by all of my latest creations, Delightfully Eclectic DSP is my favorite pack of paper!  The notebook pattern is so much fun, especially with the Gorgeously Made notebook edge die.

I used 4 different stamp sets for all of the images...can you figure out which ones?  Everyday Thanks for the pencil, Bird's Eye Vies for the books, Sweetest Cherries for the apple and Phrases for All for the sentiment.  In addition to the Gorgeously Made dies, I used Nested Essentials, Stylish Shapes and Beautiful Balloons dies as well.  This, my friends, is what us stampers like to call the $100 card!  If you have them, use them is my motto!

Whether you have already stared or will soon be headed back to school, here's to an amazing 2023-2024 school year!

Happy Stamping!

Bird's Eye Thank You

The Monday Montage crew is back with another fabulous hop for you!

I'll admit...I totally slacked for Teacher Appreciate week this year.  I had good intentions of getting something together for my son's teacher, but it never happened.  Thankfully I can redeem myself with an end of the year thank you card and gift!

Bird's Eye View and Everyday Thanks are the BEST stamp sets ever for teacher cards!  I love the pencil from Everyday Thanks and the adorable bird with glasses from Bird's Eye View...so cute!  And you know but now that any stamp set that has images I can color with my Stampin' Blends is a must have!

I played along with this months Stampin' Through the Catalog CASE the designer, using the fun color combo and layout.  Did you notice the fun torn paper?  I am so happy to have White Center paper back!

Whether you hop back to Wendy of Wickedly Wonderful Creations or on to Cathy of Sugar Shack Designs, make sure you hop all the way through the lineup!

Happy Stamping!
