Six Chicks Project Parade...back to school!!!

Today is August 6 (my mom's birthday, Happy Birthday Mom!!!) and it's time for another great round of Limelight's Project parade. This month we are showing off some fun back to school themed projects. My middle guy, Ryan, is starting Kindergarten. He is soooo excited to be going to school and most of all to be joining his big brother on the bus. I can't wait to see him on the first day. I did up this cute little gift set for him-a back pack tag, new pencils, and a little love note to wish him well. The October Afternoon dp, Cherry Hill, has the cutest little apple paper and I couldn't resist using it here on my projects. I have to say I CASED this tag from the adorable little luggage tags my dear friend, Becky, made up for a few of us last year for SU Convention. I plan to attach this to Ryan's back pack and will include his bus number on the backside. The letter R is a chipboard letter by Basic Grey. Brads are from the bittersweet collection. I also used the same fun papers and made this little pencil pouch. I made this with the Top Note die and attached the ends together with another Bittersweet brad. I also added some of this yummy brown gingham ribbon (LOVE this stuff, I just used up my stash and can't wait for more to get here!!!) and a OffBeat Button.To complete the ensamble, I also made a ver easy card to remind my little guy to just have fun!!! The sentiment was created by inking up words from the Unity set, Mix Up of Cutness. A little paper piercing and this little love note was complete. Hope I inspired you to create a little something for your little munchinkins or a teacher as the new school year begins!
Check out the rest of the DT and see what fun stuff they have to show us: Mandy, Amy, Lorie, Lee, JenMarie, Ryann, and our August guest designer, Tiffany Johnson.
