Back to School week kick off + prize

Guess what? I’ve got a trio of articles happening @ www.scrapbookupdate.com this week that are all back to school related. If that’s not enough? I’ve got a FULL SCHOOL WEEK of prizes, projects, videos, and more right here to make it that much more fun!! Today you’ll find a trends & picks article going up, then a ‘kit pick’ and later in the week my first school layout of the 2011-12 school year!

Here on my blog, I’ve got a LOT planned too! Let’s kick if off with a look at the NEW Fancy Pants school line:

Cute, right? Well guess what? The awesome gals at Fancy Pants sent me the off to school line you see me using (and loving!) and I’m feeling like I should share the love. So I’m gonna share some of my treats with one of you!!

Would you like to have the goodies pictured above? SO cute – even if you don’t have school aged kids! Just leave a comment here and I’ll draw the winner on Friday. Good luck –

  27. My own special curlilocks starts school this year. Looks like a darling collection to use for her 1st year.

  31. Looking forward to the additional school related posts and reading the Scrapbook Update articles. I like the Fancy Pants line as it seems really versitle. Considering my oldest is now in middle school, I like how “grown up” their school line feels.

  32. I LOVE it! My husband and I are both in grad school, and I’m about to start my first year as an elementary school teacher. So I know I will definitely be able to put this to good use!

    I love your tag, too, May! Such a sweet idea. 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!

  34. Awesome! You read my mind. I’ve been wondering about something back to school to do for the kids. I was thinking card, but tag works, too 🙂 Looks like a great kit! Also learned something new; I’d never heard of a souffle pen. Will check that out. Behind on other videos from weekend (yard sale and day trip to beach took priority :). Lots of great info. thx!!

  35. My little one is starting big school next year (in South Africa we start in Jan). So proud of her and she is super excited too!

  36. Yay! This looks like fun, and I’ve got a third grader who’s starting school on 9/1.

  38. Oh my, what a wonderful give away!!! I have 2 kiddo’s that we moved into college last Friday and a G-babe that just turned 3, so I have lots of reasons present and future =) to use this line. If I don’t win, I may just have to buy =)

    Have a Blessed day ~~ Dawn

  45. Sad to see school roll around my only child went to college last week but all the neighbor kids went to school today and I have to say I am kind of glad to get a break from all their noises!

  47. Back to school…too fast. I guess it will be good for the kid to get back in to the swing of things. I’m still waiting for my vacation. My last week of work before a 2 week vacation…lovely! I can’t wait. I’d love to win this set. It would be more than perfect! Thanks!

  48. Great giveaway! Thanks for the chance. We (my kids and myself) go back to school in two weeks. I’ll be back teaching middle school after teaching high school for the last 8 years-yikes! I’ll need some craft therapy to ease into the middle school scene!

  66. May, you are so talented. I was on the update page and saw your name and had to see what was up. Then it referred me to your blog for the video, so here I am.
