Jen's Digi Stamps - Going Back to School

Today is Jen's Digi Stamps Back to School Challenge.  This was a challenge for me.  When I think of going back to school - with my daughter who is 17 and a senior in high school this year - I think of her having to get up early and needing a nap at the end of the school day.  So, I made the card below based on a little boy going back to school, running around all day, and then crashing for a nap. 

Hope you like my card!

Hope this inspires you to use on of Jen's Digi Stamps for your own creation!

Hugs, Meg

Heartfelt Sketch

Good morning!  I hope everyone is having an amazing Saturday!  Today is my day to post a card for the MSL Sketch Challenge.  I guess I have been thinking about love and hearts because today my sketch is Tilda w/heart lace.

I used the Grand Caliber and the Spellbinders Nestability Die to cut out Tilda and the paper behind her.  Of course I used the bow easy to tie the bow.  If you have not gotten one of those, you are really missing out on an awesome tool!  

Here is a close up of Tilda:
