Justs Scraps Challenge #13 - School’s Out!

Thanks for hanging in there with me ladies! Last week of work before summer holidays so getting doubly hectic around here. Bear with me! I know I’m late and have decided the best excuse is no excuse. Hats off to all of you who maintain such wonderful blogs yet still hold down a job, have busy family lives, and create such amazing  cards and layouts. Wow! In keeping with the times - at least for me - this week’s challenge at Just Scraps is to create anything school related. More details later this evening and I’ll post some pictures and a Mr. Linky then. Didn’t want you thinking I’d forgotten you! Will do the random draw this evening as well. Have a great day - heigh ho, heigh ho, it’s off to work I go .  .  .

And here’s one for the bus driver:

And congrats to Irit whose name was randomly drawn for this week’s little bit of blog candy. Email me at justscraps.ca@gmail.com with your snail address, Irit, and I’ll get a parcel in the mail.

Her work is AMAZING!

Remember to link your layout, card, ATC or 3D project using Mr. Linky. We’ll draw once again for a little blog candy on Sunday, June 27th. Have a great week!

I received the most beautiful card in the mail today from my scrapping buddy Claire. What a delightful surprise and what a great way to start my week.
Visit Claire’s site here: http://clairescraftycreations.blogspot.com . Check out her May 25th post to see my beautiful card. I don’t often get mail from across the pond - in fact I never get mail from across the pond - and I opened it immediately I checked the mail. Left the post office to pick up my grandson who, as soon as he spied it in the front seat, said “Oh Grammy, what a beautiful card.” Of course he wanted to hold it - of course I let him - and of course he immediately picked off one red jewel. “it looks better Grammy” was the response when I expressed my dismay.Ha! Anyway, I rescued the tiny jewel and glued it back on good as new. The card now sits on a special shelf in the craft room. Thank you so much Claire! You made my day!

I have to apologize big time - I’m not ignoring my blog - I am just swamped right now with so many other things that I’m finding very little time to scrap or blog! On the up side, summer holidays start in just two weeks and I will have eight weeks to play! The little I have been doing has everything to do with buttlerflies, flowers and birds - favors for the upcoming wedding. So that’s my challenge - create something - anything - with butterflies, flowers, and birds - as long as it’s not a name tag! When you do hundreds, it gets a little ho-hum. But what a great way to use up scraps!

Looks like I am not the only one flat out busy - not a whole lot of scrappers participating this week - and so to those of you who have, a great big thank you! I do so enjoy your visits and am feeling pretty guilty about not being a good hostess - promise things will be back to normal soon.

Congratulations Susan! Your name was randomly drawn for this week’s blog candy. Email me your snail address at justscraps.ca@gmail.com and I’ll get a little package in the mail to you this week.

Get to work on those layouts, cards, ATCs, or 3D projects. Can’t wait to see them! You have until Sunday, June 20th to leave a link to your creation using the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this post. Mr. Linky will close on that date and we will draw for a bit of blog candy.
