Hope everyone is having a great start to their Labor Day weekend. We went to the pool today, probably the last time of the season due to the weather report this weekend. It was a bunch of fun and of course I took lots of pictures to capture the last moments of summer. (I haven't downloaded them yet of course). So my kiddos go back to school in a week. I am sometimes counting down the hours and sometimes hope to time goes by a little slower. My oldest will be going everyday this year. It is only half day so I am glad that I still get half a day with her. I am excited to be spending some more one on one time with my little one since she will only be going two days a week.
So with school fast approaching I made my little girls some cards to stick in their lunchboxes on the first day. Just want to make sure they know that I am thinking if them while they are away from me for a couple hours. I went very traditional back to school with these cards. Primary colors and common back to school motifs. One thing I did do different is use the Cricut Markers for the first time. I wanted to give them a test run, because I plan to use them on a really big upcoming project. They worked beautifully as you will see in the pictures.
- Card base is 4" x 4"
