All Shaped Up and a Winner

-
My daughter is about to start kindergarten, as in tomorrow, and last week she got a postcard in the mail from her new teacher. She was so excited about this that she begged me to make a card for her to bring to the teacher. She's getting pretty big in the crafting world herself and know how this game is played :). We are card givers! So, I created this card for her to bring to open house tonight.





I made this card using the Locker Talk Cricut Cartridge. This is actually the featured project for this cartridge. I thought it was cute so decided to use it. I changed it a little bit, however. Instead of using the book cover function to create a card/book with the ribbon holes, I welded them together and used the hide contour button on my gypsy to create a folded card. I used double sided paper and a line stamp to create the inside matt for her to write on. 

I am entering this in the Bitten By The Bug 2 challenge this week. Hopefully, this qualifies as the challenge was to create a shape card. I figured the front of the card is shaped out so maybe?? :)

I have a choosen a winner using the Random.org for the Fantabulous Cricut Back to School Cricut Crawl!

And the winner is. . .

We are now into August and I have been thinking a lot about the fact that school is coming. I have been homeschooling my daughter for the past year and a half. She is now going to go to a Christian school in the fall for junior high. I can't believe that she is in 7th grade already! I am both sad for me and excited for her. One of my favorite things about homeschooling, besides having my daughter home with me everyday, was using my Happy Planner for lesson planning. I love my lists and seeing my week planned out on paper. So, I was thinking through how to make a good use of my Happy Planner this coming year. I a blog post on how to set up a  War Binder . I looked into this War binder thing a little more closely and decided that that is exactly what I wanted to do with my Planner. I spent a lot of time looking around on FB and Pinterest to get ideas and eventually just decided that I just needed to start it.  I have struggled with making time for Bible Study and prayer in th
