Handmade Backpack Tags!!

Hey there friends I have a FUN project today using Creating Made Easy September Kit!
Since it is looking ahead to fall, it's time for back to school so I decided to take the Mini Tree Album included in the September Kit and make backpack tags!

They are actually sealed backpack tags with the HIGH quality Clear Scraps acrylic so they should last all year!
Here is how I made them:

I used two of the pages from the Mini Tree Album for each tag. 
I removed the protective film from both tree pages first. Then I used Green StazOn ink to coat the front of the cover tree, then quickly added a mossy embossing powder. Now embossing acre can  be tricky, you have to go slow and move quickly so it won't completely bend and melt. If it starts bend immediately move heat source underneath or way and carefully bend back but BE CAREFUL it can be hot, no one wants burned fingers. Using rubber tipped tweezers work well. 

After embossing the front of the tree page, take brown and dark green StazOn ink (from stash) and color the INSIDE of the page and outside so you have a heavy brown color for the trunk. 

Cut white or cream paper from cardstock (in stash) trim to fit, and write down BUS # and Name. 
Adhere to INSIDE (non- embossed side) of tree. 

Take clear tree page, adhere edges using clear Beacon adhesive, a little goes a long way and adhere trees together. Clip together to dry for 20 minutes for a long last extra over necessary hold! haha

Unclip, add RED pearls from pearl pen for the apples, then allow to dry 30 minutes. Add keychain through hole. There it is!

~Best Thing EVAH! + Back To School~

Good morning my friends, 
In case you hadn't noticed I took a few days off last week, 
I had to give myself some times to get these chickens of mine back to school!
Let me share this new Easel card, then I'll post photos of the kids below. 

Today I wanted to share these Easel Cards from Globecraft Memories.
 I created this card and a short tutorial for Globecraft
They are fun little cards to make and completely unique!
Oh and this FUNNY adorable stamp you ask? 
Yep it's those ATTITUDE stamps from Pink By Design! You know 
the ones my gf made with a few of my quotes. :)  
I LOVE THEM!
 And the card itself was entirely the August Barn Door Kit...
I love the vintage retro feel to it. 
Go to Globecraft and check out the way these Easel Cards work..they are fun time!

Ok on to personal stuff :) (See how I posted all the crafty
first so no one has to bother with my personal stuff-hehehe)
It seems like this summer was literally non-stop and I am ready
to be back on a schedule again. Also a few weeks ago we had a car malfunction,
it's come time to buy a new car, so after much stress and struggle we got
out hands on a used car, all in all it just set me back in blogging! LOL


 *Funny Story* All the kids in school are so anxious to get back in their new
clothes, all dolled up...NOT MY BOYS! LOL They picked the OLDEST clothing
(even thought I had bought new) their old faves and insisted on wearing them LOL
 Nonetheless I grabbed a couple photos :) Entering 3RD grade!
 And the LAST year in Elementary School for my middle boy...5th grade! :) 
They grow up SO FAST!
I will post a photo of my car tomorrow after I grab one :) 
Happy Monday everyone!
