Welcome to the Back To School Blog Hop!!

We're so happy you could join us for this super-fun hop showcasing cards, layouts and projects for Back To School!!  You'll find an array of ideas throughout the hop -- From teacher gifts to lunchbox notes, we hope you'll enjoy each and every project along the way!!

Class is just about to start, so let's get hopping!!  If you've hopped over from Lynne, then you are in the right place!!  If you've just popped in to visit my blog and you'd like to join our School-Time FUN, then please CLICK HERE  to start at the beginning with Lynda's blog!!  Several stops along the way will be offering some nifty prizes, so please be sure to keep an eye out for that!!

For the hop today, I've created a large altered composition book and a mini note pad.

For the large book I just purchased a composition book from wal-mart and decked it out. I used a very lovely DCWV flower paper for the front. I added a purple for binding and the back. I took a fancy lace border punch and punched both sides of a piece of off white card stock then attached it to the left hand side. On top of that I added a small piece of ribbon. I placed 3 small pale pink silk roses along the ribbon. I then placed a flat back large pearl in the top and bottom right hand corners. In the middle of my book I added a large hot pink and white lacy, feathery flower. There is a handmade book marker also in the book.

 For my little book I cut up about a gazillion pieces of paper 3 in x 2 in size. I chose pink and green for my inside paper to match my cover. My cover is thin plastic in pink with purple, pink, white stripes. I then added a large ring to hold it all together. I found a beautiful gem butterfly in my stash. It matched perfectly because it is pink and green. I then added a gem flower and spray under the butterfly. . I love it.

Well that is my creations for the Back to School hop. How did you like them? Here is one of them together.

 I am going to be giving  one lucky hop'r my large altered composition book. I will be picking one lucky winner on August 17. To be elgible to win please be a follower and leave a message below with a way to contact you.
