Happy New Year!

Hello All!
Sorry I've been out for a while, life is hectic as a middle school teacher and sometimes, well.... I just forget to post here.  I hope you each had a fabulous Christmas and New Year.  While getting ready for the holidays, I was able to get a few projects done.  Get ready, because I have a lot of things to show you this time around!

And now.... A couple of Wipe Off Boards I made for my niece & nephew. 
 This is simply a 10x13 frame from Wal Mart for $5
 Sophia B&T paperpack (X7131B) 
 Sophia My Stickease Assortment (X7131C)
the images stamped are from "Love Life"  (D1482)


Another frame.... but the paper & stickers were a chore to find.  Apparently NO ONE in the Dallas metroplex sells paper / stickers that represent the University of Texas.  My nephew is a major fan, so of course I had to get it for him.  Along with the UT stuff, there is some black cardstock and Autumn Terra Cotta cardstock.  To round it out, I added a little bit of burlap.


Well, there you have it - that's what I've been up to.  Well, actually, I have a couple more projects - cute name/college banners, but I don't have those pictures just yet.  So look for them in another posting.  Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for some great ideas, tantalizing techniques, and NEW paper packs & stamps sets!
