Craft-Dee BowZ Back to School Blog Hop

Hi Everyone!!!!
If you arrived here from Vicki's blog then you are in the right spot. If not, then you may want to start at the Craft-Dee BowZ blog to get all the details.

This month's theme is Back To School. What a great theme!!! Perfect for this time of year!! I decided to add a slight twist to this theme for my post. Remember back to your high school school days. Buses, lockers, books, football, homecoming!!  I remember the fun homecoming game and the dance and the king and queen being crowned.All these things remind me of Back to School. So I decided to focus on "homecoming" as my back to school theme.

The colors I used are the actual colors of my high school. Red and gray. Go Colonels!!! 

What a great card to send to the the Homecoming Queen. 

Here is a close up of my bow.

I didn't want to overpower the bottom of the card with a really frilly bow, so I used a double loop bow..

It's Back to School Time

Hi Everyone,
It's August, end of summer and ......... now we hear the dreaded words................. BACK TO SCHOOL.
I remember when I was a kid, back to school, well it wasn't one of my favorite times. LOL Although I got new shoes and new clothes. I loved that.

Back to school, hmmmm,  I had a hard time finding stamps that fit the theme this month, and believe me I looked hi and low. LOL

After much searching through all my stamps, I decided to use an image of a little boy and girl. I imagine them going off to school with flowers for their teacher. This stamp reminds me of me and my brother when we were about that age. Since its time for back to school, I also wanted to use a chalk board look so I finally found a stamp of a pile of books and I stamped it on the black card stock. And since I was back to "no school stamps" I used my VersaMark marker to print  "Back to School"  at the bottom of the chalk board.

I thought I'd make one more card and I searched and found some of the cutest stickers with the Back to School theme. Let me share this card with you. 

Now wouldn't this card be great to give to a little one on their first day at school.

School has started already in some of the school districts in my area, so this really is right on time, I guess.

 Love the black and white stripe of that ribbon. I also used a rich red and a beautiful golden yellow ribbon as accents.To make my single loop bow for these cards I used my Craft-Dee BowZ tool.
