Hello Kitty Air Mail

Hello everyone!  The last few days have been really busy for me!  Yesterday my in-laws came over and it was really fun!  I hadn't seen them in a while, and it was nice to visit with them, see my niece and nephew, etc....  Today I went shopping at the teacher store and spent more money on my classroom!  There never seems to be a school year where I am not spending a lot of money on  my class!  Oh well, I really love it, so it's okay!  :)  Anywho I made this simple card to enter into a couple of challenges and I was just feeling the red, white, and blue vibes.....  I am also excited because I received my twine from My Craft Spot and I just had to use it!!!!  :)

Graduation Card - Preschool :)

Well today was a very special day....  My niece, Chloe, graduated from preschool!  :)  I have to admit that during the ceremony I was getting a little teary eyed!!!    It was very cute and she looked so grown up (oh here I go again with the misty eyes)....  Anywho, I wanted to create a really special graduation card for her, so I whipped this little beauty up!   I wanted the card to look "sophisticated", but it is for a 5 year old, so I wanted it to have that kid feel to it.  She ended up loving it and that's all that really matters!!! :)

I am also going to enter this into a challenge....  Of course..... :)

Operation Write Home- Back to School Cards

I was searching through blogs this morning and I came across one that is called Operation Write Home (OWH).  This is an amazing project that enlists crafters like us to make cards for soldiers to use.  The cards are sent to soldiers overseas, and they can write in the cards and send them to their loved ones.  The Stars and Stamps blog is having a Back to School challenge right now, and I just knew I needed to join.  The military and children really tug at my heartstrings, and this touches on both of those!!  Here are the two cards that I came up with for this challenge...

Both cards are size A2
Top Card:
Celebrate with Flourish:  "Back to School" cut at 2.84"
Cuttlebug:  stars
Glossy Accents
White gel pen
Bottom Card (this one was giving me photography problems): 
Hello Kitty Greetings:  books & apple cut at 3.71"
Sentiment was done on my computer using Kristen font, size 36
White gel pen
Black pen

I am also going to be using this in two linky parties.....  I think it would be great if a lot of people see this and want to participate too!  :)
