Paper Cupcakes - Back To School

Well, Blogger has been giving me fits for days!  My dashboard is all screwed up and I know they are going thru some interface changes but it won't let me use the old interface and I am forcing myself to get used to the new one...bare with me!

I hope everyone had a nice weekend!  I'm kicking things off with my Monday posts starting with Paper Cupcakes!  This week the theme is BACK TO SCHOOL.  Here's my take on this week's project.  Since I don't have children (other than my 3 dogs, 2 cats, and husband) I have been sort of stuck on the Back To School theme that many of the teams I am on have been doing.

I thought HOP INTO ANOTHER YEAR could be taken as another school year and/or another birthday or even New Year!  So...this one can be used all year, really.  I'm totally digging the PCC Froggie!  I will certainly be using this stamp again!  My Mother-In-Law collects Frogs!

Pens!!!! And...FROGS?

This week the Design Team for Lindsay's Stamp Stuff was 'charged' with the ANYTHING BUT A CARD Project.

I must say...that I started my paper crafting adventure as a traditional scrapbooker and did that for YEARS...never thought about doing cards up until a few years ago...cards are so easy to make and are a QUICK project to stay active in the paper crafting world. Lately I have been spitting out project after project and have mostly done Wall Hangings, Cards, and Album Title Pages because they are quick and fun and great things to do with Digi Stamps.

This time around I decided to do an Altered Tin...I cheated a little tho...I had the paper and finish on this tin already. So...this morning I added the Digital Stamp - THE FROG - From LSS's Pretty Princess Set - and then added BLING and Flowers and Alpha Stickers!

Yes! It's an altered tin for some of my PENS! This is one FUNKY-FRESH-FROG!

And Lindsay is awesome...not only as a designer but as a friend...thanks for checking up with me today, girl!
