Back to School

Tomorrow is the big day. My kids are headed back to school. Well at least the bigger two are. I'll have the baby home to keep me company, but how in the world will I justify the Justin Bieber blaring from my car stereo without an 11 year old in the back seat!!! LOL It seems like just yesterday I was sending him off kindergarten and now he's started MIDDLE SCHOOL!?!?!?! How did THAT happen?

I decided to make them each a card to sit out waiting for them with an after school snack when they get home. I so hope they have a great first day back, but even if not (I worry more about the older one who's a nervous wreck) they'll have a great first day after school. :)

The first card uses Friday Sketchers #115 and the school challenge over at Our Creative Corner. I also found a new blog thanks to one of my readers called Stampin' Royalty and their theme is also back to school. I can't wait to join in more challenges of theirs :) :) :)



The second card uses the Sketch and Stash sketch #42. Almost everything on the card is from deeeeeep down in my stash except the ribbon. That is brand spankin' new. It also fits the FOOD/DRINK challenge at My Parner in Crafting Crime this week.
Sorry for the uber blurry photos. My camera batteries must be dying because no amount of lighting was solving my problem.
