 "Back to School" BLOG HOP ideas from DT member Helena Johansson...

I love how well Petaloo flowers goes with Coredinations papers and the colors are just fabulous! The stamps from Sweet Stamp Shop are the cutest and perfect for any project.

I have used these amazing products to create cards for my children, who started school last week. Inside I have written how proud I am of both of them, and I have made coordinating bookmarks and attached them to the cards with paperclips. I hope these bookmarks will encourage them to read more :)

This card in blue and brown I made for my son. Little mini pearl daisies, seaside color, matches the amazing marine blue Floradoodles flowers and papers from Coredinations perfectly.

The text stamps from Sweet Stamp Shop are so cute!

Here are the cards and bookmarks separated:

A big thank you to everyone who participated in our Blog Hop and left messages!  Your school memories were so heart-felt and so fun to read!  Thank you for sharing them with us!!  

1. Jackie H:

The flowers are beautiful!! Another memory is being in the High School chorus and being asked to design the cover of the program for the Christmas concert. I also made huge silver bells for the sides of the stage.

 2. Nicole Doiron :

What a beautiful card!!! Love the colors! School is soooo far away in time (i graduated high school 21 years ago!), but my favorite memories will always be all the time spent with my friends, especially my best friend Denise. We were inseparable from 4th grade until senior year. We always had loads of fun and laughs together! And we're still very good friends today :)

3.  Meechelle:

Oh, my gosh, these are so pretty! I expecially love the box for the loooooooove notes, LOL! That is definitely one of my favorite school memories. The notes! The teachers didn't like them, and we loved to sneak them around. Fun, fun!

4..  Mary-Anne V.:

One of my fav. memories was getting a project back from my extremely hard and strict grade 8 teacher and reading her very positive comments. Her words have remained with me to this day! amazing how a teacher can touch a life! Thanks for all the inspiration- great and cheerful project!

 

5.  Dorina D :

Great projects today and the Classroom sign is adorable. My fav school memory - being the official scorekeeper for the boys baseball team and riding the bus to & from games. Had to bring another girl with me and we had to ride in front seat and we weren't allowed to turn around and look at the back of the bus until after we stopped for ice cream. Turns out half the guys were changing clothes after the game as soon as we boarded the bus. This was in the early 70's...                                                                                 

Thank you to everyone who participated!  We have more "Back to School" projects coming on the blog for the next few days.  We hope you will join us!
