Back to School

Hi My Friends,
It's been a little while, I know. I took some family time and we took our daughter to her first visit to the Most  Magical Place on Earth (Disney World). This was her first visit (of many more to come) and when I tell you she really enjoyed herself, there aren't enough words to describe her excitement. She's only 3 and she certainly got the Disney Royal Treatment including having Breakfast with the Disney Princesses. Those precious moments on her face and words of expression are priceless and worth every dollar spent. Anyhew, I couldn't wait to get back and craft, I got so much inspiration from the trip too. After work I came home to get in this quick card for Action Wobble Chalenge - "Back to School" and Cricut Cardz Challenge - "School's Cool". I had to dust off my Locker Talk cartridge, but I'm sure it will get some good use for a while. Hope you like. Until next time, Scrap you later...

The card size is 5x5. The papers used are DCWV (Grade School Stack), Recollections. Used PKS July Stamp Kit of the Month (SKOTM). I use a star punch and EK Success from the bottom and added some stickles to give some bling/shine to the card. That's it! I'm not sure if I'm ready for "Back to School" because that means that my little one will be starting Daycare for the first time. I've been so fortunate for my mom & dad keeping her while DH and I worked. I'm so nervous, but a little excited for her too. I've heard stories about how sick children get once they start daycare and my little sunshine has been very fortunate to only have to see her doctor during her regular check ups. I'm praying that she will not go through the horror stories I've heard. Back to my card...I would love to hear from you. Your comments brighten my day.

First Day of "DAYCARE"...

Hello Friends,
Well we know its that time again, for kids to go Back To School/First Day of School, buses, slower traffic, school zones, PTA meetings, Open House... well you get the drill. Even though my little one is only 2, I still feel like I need to get things on track too. I have plenty of nieces, nephews and god-children that fit this bill enough for me and I am taking much note for when my little is ready. I've seen a lot of sites that have given me so much inspiration on how this back to school thing works for the children and their teachers. I think I better get started on my teacher treats now...lol. Anyhew I decided that I still wanted to participate in some of the back-to-school challenges out there so I put a little twist on my creation. I'm still not that ready to release the strings for my "sunshine" (Felice) to leave me just yet. I've been having the most Ahhh-Mazing Summer being home with her for the first time this entire Summer. Some days though, I don't know how you SAHM do it; and I only have one. She's is Full Throttle all the time and when it's time for her nap, I feel like I need one too...lol. Seriously, I sometimes feel like I'm going to catch a case...(with myself that is). This motherhood thing is still new for me and I'm not sure if I'm even close to ready to have another one. DH is going to have to wait this one out with me for while. OK, I'm rambling... let me get back to my project. Here is a Layout  **sn: (yes, I said Layout... it's been too long since I've done one of these)** I did for Felice (pronounced: Feh-leece, like Feliz Navidad) when she gets ready to start her
"First Day of... Daycare". I figure that's sort of like going to school; there's learning time, recess, nap time...etc. All the fun things that Mommy has been doing at home with her, but she'll get to experience this with other little ones her own age. I know I'll be ready when the time comes. I hope it was ok to put a twist on this for some of the challenges I'm entering this into.
