Crafting... what's that?

Well school is back in session for the kids and myself. Between working part-time, doing my school work and homework, helping the kids, being a mom, being a wife, etc., etc. etc. I seem to not have time for crafting (like many of you). I'm hoping to be better about crafting on the weekends, that's my goal at least. I'm thinking I need to make some sort of rewards system for doing my homework and studying.
Anyway on to the crafting...
I like the simplicity of this card (don't like how fuzzy the picture is though, sorry!!) I used divine swirls cuttlebug folder on the top, don't know what papers I used, love the green grosgrain ribbon, and a prima flower. I made about 10 of these and left them blank as I've needed a card I stamp a sentiment in the lower left hand corner.

I've been working on an a Word Wall for the Kindergarten class that I work in-using the Zooballo cricut cartridge, such a fun cartridge. I borrowed it from my sweet sister-in-law and am thinking I need to buy one of my own, I see lots of potential uses. I love the penguins and the koala. Hope to have this done in the next week and will post pictures too!!
I'm going to be doing some blog candy in October so watch for details on that coming soon!!

Cupcake birthday


I used scraps from my scrap file and even ribbon scraps out of my scrap jar for this card, I love when I do that. The stamps are a Close to My Heart set I earned for free back in April love the cupcake, I also used Close to My Heart inks (don't remember the colors though). I think I even used a sheetloads sketch for this card. This was a fun card to put together.
Schools been in session here for 3 weeks and I think I'm finally getting the routine down. Hopefully now that I'm getting back into the swing of things I can get my crafting mojo back and be able to share more current projects.
I'm really excited I ordered 3 new Close to My Heart sets last night. I can't wait to get them and create!!!
Thanks for looking!!! I love comments!!!
