CWC Challenge #98 Back to School

HI everyone!  Well we are on vacation this week to the great state of Michigan (where I'm originally from) in the Upper Peninsula.  I'm from Southwest Michigan and I haven't been up here since I was 4.  I have been looking forward to this trip for forever.  We are with lots of family and having a blast!

Anyway, onto my project this week.  The challenge over at Cooking with Cricut is to create anything school related.  I usually create my August or my September calendar page school themed depending on when the kids go back.  This year St. Isidore starts Aug 22nd so the August page it is!  I am really looking forward to this school year and the kids are super excited!  My oldest will be in 1st grade and going all day and my youngest will be in 4 day preschool in the afternoon.  It is going to be so strange having them both gone in the afternoon but I know they will be learning so much!

Here is my project.  I used many, many cartridges for this one.  I first printed out some paper on my Imagine. I knew I absolutely wanted to use a lined paper of some sort to go with the school theme so I printed that out from the Imagine More Cards cartridge. I then printed out an ABC paper from Imagine Hopscotch and then some striped paper to make my banner. I used the Imagine Enjoy the Seasons for the apples, Mickey Font for the word "August", and Create a Critter for the cute little worm.

If you want to play along with us in this challenge, go to Cooking with Cricut and link up your project!  Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Peachy Keen Guest Designer Day 5

Hi all!  Welcome to Day 5 of my posts as guest designer.  I am so sad that my week is over already!  It's been so fun and even though I am sad to leave I am excited to see what our next guest designer has coming.  All week I have been wanting to do a scrapbook page using some photos I took last year of my family and I apple picking.  I had a great photo of my son in the orchard and I couldn't wait to use it:-).  He is about a year and a half here and he loved getting the apples and eating them.  It was so darn cute!

 For these cute little apple faces from the Create a Critter cartridge I used the Boy Mates faces.

I based my page on the latest sketch challenge from DCWV.  I love using sketches for my inspiration and this one worked perfect for my page!
