You Make Nerdy Look Good....

Oh man... do you ever see something that someone created and you are simply crazy giddy over it?!?! Well, that something for me was created by Gigi-- oh my goodness!  I definitely had to recreate this! I did make a few adjustments but overall I kept to her same pattern-- a HUGE shout out to her for sharing!  Thanks! I kinda love that I picked out a couple other dies that fit perfectly for this too. Ahhh I love when a project comes together!  (haha I sound like my dad now-- he always says "Oh I love when a good meal comes together :)--I just applied it to crafting)

Look at this stinkin' adorable apple!  Love this cut file from Lisa at Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons and don't forget you still have a couple of days to enter the PPPR Challenge!  It's all about being a smarty pants this month!  So dig out those school files, nerd files and join us!

A little message on the back cover of this cute post-it note holder!  Hehe love this sentiment!  So I pulled out a bunch of my Jaded Blossom goodies and decided to link this up for their current challenge "Back To School."  

Supplies I used:

Jaded Blossom- Lollipop Die, Card Mat Dies, Mini Tag Dies 2, Kawaii Sentiments and Hello Hello
