Fond Memories of Home Ec

This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 399, Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 389 - Bravo Regal Starfruit, Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 391 - No Stamping and Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 184 - Inspired by the word SCHOOL. So often we always tend to think of pre-k, Kindergarden and grade school when we think of school. I do not remember much of my early education years but I do remember the fun I had in home ec class in the 10th grade. My mother raised me and a 3yr older brother of mine alone after the divorce when I was 3yrs old and so she worked 2 and 3 jobs just to make ends meet. That did NOT allow for a lot of home cooking so we ate out A LOT. Eating out does not allow for a daughter to learn how to cook from her mother so I learned a lot in home ec class plus had fun too boot. LOL.
I found this Rose Wild "Cherry Cupcake" dp and went wild with it.
I used my quickutz cupcake die and all 3 colors of cs to make it. I covered the cherry with glaze.
The sentiment is handwritten but please don't tell Shannon, she does not like it when I do that. LOL.
RECIPE:
Stamps: none :(
Paper: white, bravo burgandy, regal rose, summer starfruit, Wild Rose "Cherry Cupcake" dp
Ink: bravo burgandy, regal rose
Accessories: dimensionals, Quickutz cupcake die
Techniques: no stamping, die cuts, 3D

Pre-K Grad

This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 391 - No Stamping!. eeekkk. I have not touched a stamp in 7 whole days and now I still can not touch a stamp. OK so after I picked myself off the floor I went to today's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 184 - Inspired by SCHOOL and redeemed myself as the ideas began to flow.
I knew I had this "GRADE SCHOOL" dp from DCWV and I thought I had an apple die big enough to meet my needs but as luck would have it "NOT" so I hand drew my school bus, cut it out and popped it up. I used buttons for the headlights.
My layout is from Saturday's SWEET STOP SKETCHES # 172.
I used a sticker from EK Success "The Grad" for my sentiment. I have a pre-k and a Kindergarden grandchild this year so one of them will be getting this at the end of this school year.
Now off to work and back to reality after a fabulous weekend at the beach.
RECIPE:
Stamps: none :(
Paper: Brocade blue, yo yo yellow, poppy parade, DCWV "The Grade School" dp
Ink: none
Accessories: stickers, dimensionals, buttons, Fiskars border punch
Techniques: no stamping
