Tell it Tuesday: Back to School Ideas

I thought it would be fun to stop in on a few of our hosts periodically and update the My Craft Channel followers on what they're up to with our Tell it Tuesday blog posts. So here's a quick recap on a few of them for you. If you do pop over to their blogs to read more, be sure to leave them some comment love!!

Dollar Store Crafts

Heather from our Get a Little Creative group posted this fun Monogram teacher's gift idea on her blog. Loved the different ideas she talks about and started of thinking of some of my own after being inspired by her blog post. 

One Charming Party
What a fun idea...lunch sack labels. After trying out a variety of different lunch bags they sell with the backpacks this time of year, we always ended up back to using go ol' brown paper sacks. I didn't have to worry about if my kids remembered to bring them home or stress if they were lost, because they just get tossed in the trash...but these cute labels make it more personalized and fun!

I Heart Faces Photography
I had to go back to an older blog post to find this, but since our topic seems to be about Back to School I thought the creative gals at I Heart Faces could give us all some great ideas on back to school photos and they did NOT disappoint. I loved this post and hope to put some of their inspiration to work this next week (if my teenagers will cooperate).

Have a great Tuesday!!

All of us at My Craft Channel are HUGE fans of any online sources of inspiration. Pinterest is a place for VISUAL bookmarking that you share with others.

Every image you pin goes into the category you select for easy reference and links back to the original source. I like the most for saving tutorials!! 

This is the view of what greets you as you open up this amazing program. 

And to make my obsession even more accessible...the went and created an APP for the iPhone and iPad. I can watch TV, sit in bed or pin while eating at McDonalds. Want to learn how it works in more detail, check out this great Pinterest 101 tutorial over at the Daily Digi.
