Hello!!
I'm SO EXCITED to share a New Paper Smooches SPARKS Anything Goes Challenge with you for this Week!! I have been working on more Back To School Cards and for some reason I just CAN'T STOP creating them!!  =) I've made a FUN card for today using the  Smarty Pants Stamp Set, Fruit People Die Set, Foliage 1 Dies, School Icons Dies Set and the Borders 2 Dies Set!! I used some October Afternoon Fabric from their Sidewalks Paper Collection Line!! I just LOVED this Collection so when I found the Fabric at a Fabric Store I just had to HAVE it!! =) I Die Cut all of the Images and used my Sewing Machine to Stitch around all of the Apples!! I added the rest of the Die Cuts and Stamped and Embossed my Sentiment!! I wanted it to look like it was the LAST Page in a Notebook so I Die Cut Several of the Paper Edges and then Free Hand Cut the other Edges and Lined them all up together and Stitched them all together to the Card Front!! I REALLY LOVE the way it turned out and its hard to show in the Photos, but in real life it really does look neat!! =)

I made these CUTIE Little Notebooks for the Teacher's and then I made some for my Boys, and my Niece's and Nephew!! The Fabric is a Cosmo Cricket Design from their Baby Jane Paper Collection Line!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this Fabric!! I Stitched around the Die Cuts using my Sewing Machine and I was going for a Handmade Look!! =) LOL!! I used the Smarty Pants Stamp Set, Paper Die, Tooth Fairy Die Set, Foliage 1 Dies, School Icons Dies Set  and the Stitched Frames Die Set to create the Heart Hole in the Apple for the Worm to come through!! II added some Burlap Twine and a Vintage Button and my Notebook Cover was done!!  For the Notebook Pages I just Die Cut SEVERAL Printer Paper Die Cuts that I Stitched together!! I Glued the Front and Back Covers to the First and Last Pages of the Notebook Insides to create a Seamless Notebook!! I have ALWAYS LOVED having a Little Notebook for stuff I wanted to write down so I HOPE they LOVE them as MUCH as I Do!!?? I'll be sharing the other designs soon so keep an out for them if your Interested!!??  =)
