Back to school part two and vacation time!

Well this is it for school cards....I just could not help myself...I found more school images in my stash and just had to create with them.  Something about the whimsical animals, the sweet school kids, and the memories it brings.  The last two cards were just because.....I had a few new pieces of paper I wanted to play with and the images worked perfectly with them.   I will leave you with these cards and bid adiu.....(did I spell that right)?   my family and I are going on a much need vacation to Nevada.  Sooo excited.   Since I am leaving and won't be around...how about a sale in my etsy shop?  http://www.etsy.com/shop/cherryjn 

AN end of the Summer sale sounds good to me.  I will be marking all older items down....extremely low!  Better grab them while you can.   When I get back I hope to start adding more holiday goodies and want to make room for them.  Well I am off to pack!  Hugs to you all...see you sometime next week! xoxxo, Cherry

Also had to share that all the vintagey wrinkle ribbon you see is of course from the heavenly shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/PrairieBirdBoutique   her seambinding worked perfectly with all  my Melissa frances projects.  Go pay her visit!

Back to school...

                  Just a few whimsical back to school cards tonight.    They take me back to when I was that age.  New grade...new year.   Remember getting new school clothes?  OHH what fun.!  I remember arranging and rearranging them in my closet....wanting so bad to wear them right than and there...but wanting them to stay new.  Getting my school supplies...which back than wasn't the long list they are now.  I was happy with a new pencil box and a scratch and sniff pencil.  Back in the day..back in the day...sigh.   Had fun with these cards....some vintage style images, 50's kids, a terrier, and a kitty cat.  Hey everyone deserves an education!  The last card I think would be neat to give to your librarian or to your teacher with their name on the library check out card.    Too cute.   As always the lovely seambinding is from my etsy pal Patsy over at
http://www.etsy.com/shop/PrairieBirdBoutique    love her colors and the sheen to her wrinkle ribbons.   YUM!  Come back tomorrow I have a little announcement!   Hugs, cherry
