Back To School Fun at The Cutting Cafe

Summer is winding down and it is getting to be time

to think about 'Back To School'.

My kids are all grown with kids of their own

so no worries there for me, but instead I can have fun

making a few school projects the grandkids can take for their teachers....

it always helps to be on the 'good' side of a teacher LOL!

My first card has always been a favorite cut file from

The Cutting Cafe

and it's the  'Apple Shaped' card.

I cut mine on my Cricut,

but there is also a SUPER easy file in PDF that can be hand cut very easily

for those of you without an electronic machine.

I kept it very simple by just adding a ribbon bow and a few buttons.

My second card is a 'back to school' sweater using the cut file

'Ugly Shaped Sweater'

named for the ugly sweater parties you see at Christmas time lol.

Last month the entire team made sweaters for one of our 

Design Team assignments

and that was when my computer died and I wasn't able to join in.

But, I love this file so much I decided to make one for this assignment

to go along with my apple card!!

You can see all the sweaters from last month HERE.

All the papers used are from Echo Park's Celebrate autumn 6 x 6 paper pad.

This also happens to be the time the entire team gets together at

The Cutting Cafe blog in one place

so you can ALL the team designs there on August 7th!!

three cut files (your choice) of your own!!
