Back To School

It's been way, way, way too long, my friends!  I have been buried in normal day to day things with kids since they've been home 24/7 for over a year, but this week school starts and all mine will be in school for the first time.  I hardly know what to do with myself!  I did get around to making some cards this year but haven't had any time to post them.  

These first ones feature text I cut out with my Silhouette Portrait.  If you don't have an electronic cutting machine, you're missing out.  I love making cards with stamps and dies, but a Silhouette or Cricut really opens the world.  Imagine, being able to cut any thing you can think of!

This bicycle is a cute die-cut pre-printed from Doodlebug, I think.  I love what quick cards you can make with them.

These darling sea-life creatures are from Papertrey Ink Salt Air.  I didn't buy their dies initially for the seaweed, got some other brand on Amazon, but I have since bought Papertrey's when they had everything on a great sale.  

I think this last card is my favorite for today- I had pieces I had previously stamped and die cut lying in a dish for later and assembled them in an arrangement that just felt good to me.

I'm glad to be back and will hopefully be blogging much more often now that I'll have some personal time.  

Thanks for stopping by!
