Summer is winding down and homework is soon to be the flavor of the day!
Now we know many of you are jumping for joy...but others, (like myself) are not so happy at the thought of endless homework and running kids here and there. The quiet pace of summer will definitely be missed!
To get you in the spirit... Designer Audrey Pettit has made the perfect Back To School Tag using Paper Smooches Stamps and GlueArts adhesives. Send this tag in with something special for your child's teacher!

Instructions:
1. Cut strips of patterned papers in different widths and contrasting designs to cover a large shipping tag. This is a great use for all those scraps you may have laying around. Gather trims to layer in with the papers.
2. Edge the strips of paper with red ink. This will help define each individual strip on the finished design. Cover the back of each strip with High Tac adhesive, and starting at the top of the tag and working your way down, cover the entire tag with patterned papers.
Add pretty ruffled trim at the bottom of the tag using Glue Arts Ribbon Adhesive. You can also add more trims to some of the seams across the tags.
3. Stamp sentiment in red ink onto a printed journaling card. Edge the card with ink.
4. Adhere the stamped journaling card to the center of the tag using High Tac adhesive. Add a round cardstock sticker to the top of the tag, and embellish with a button, layered trims, a mini paper clip, and more themed stickers.
5. Paint a chipboard star white and edge with red ink. Adhere to the bottom right corner of the journaling card using Extreme Adhesive Squares. Top with a paper pencil cut out and another button. The Micro Extreme Adhesive Squares are the perfect size for adhering smaller embellishments like these.
Give to your child's teacher on the first day of school this year to tell them how much you appreciate everything they do to make this school year the best ever!
