It's a Back 2 School BLOG HOP!!

http://mysweetearth.blogspot.com/2013/09/susan-k-weckesser-inc-design-team-back.html

Welcome to the 2013 Susan K Weckesser Inc Design Team Back 2 School Blog Hop.  Our Design Team and Guest Designers have created a week’s worth of great projects to bring you inspiration and fun -- all themed around Back 2 School. We encourage you to visit each member’s blog, leave a comment and maybe find a new blog to follow. After you have visited all participating team member’s blogs, go back to THE STARTING POST at Susan K Weckesser’s My Sweet Earth Blog and leave a comment letting us know which project either inspired you or touched your heart. 

Don’t worry, you have all week to take your time and go through the blogs. We’ll feature a few each day at Susan K Weckesser Inc, but will draw names from comments left on THE STARTING POST for our grand prize.

Here is the list for ALL team members, but again don’t panic, we will highlight a few each day so you can come back and visit a few at a time if you want because we know how busy you Moms – and Dads – are! You have until Saturday night 11:55 PM CST to leave a comment at Susan K Weckesser’s My Sweet Earth.

Here is what I "whipped up" for the Back2School hop... It's a BOOK BAG - and Don't you just love it?  

Now don't let the awesome-ness of this bag fool you - it took less  than two hours to get this beauty finished since all I did was stamp the images using Archival Ink (it's waterproof) and colored it all in using Sharpie Markers - YUP, Sharpies!!

I doodled a little with a fine tipped black pen just to highlight a few images like the hearts on the tree but that's about it.  Once I was finished I ironed the entire bag with very hot iron to set the inks so now I can wash it without too much fading. 

 

What a great, affordable project for the entire family - I found this canvas bag at a dollar store for $5!  Some ink, stamps and markers and you're done!  

The Other Side

I think this is an awesome project for children of any ages, but especially your teens.... buy the BIG set of colored sharpies, provide some stamps, and then get out of their way!  

Now if you REALLY want to get funky... add some brads, some rhinestones, some ribbon, a hot glue gun and just wait to see what they do!  Hmmm.... I still have another bag... I might just do that myself!

Thanks for stopping by (hopping by??) and don't forget, when you are done hopping, to leave a comment back at the Susan K. Weckesser Blog about one of the projects that made an impression on you for a chance to win that amazing prize package!

Cheers!
