I'd like to remind everyone about the "Back to School" challenge over at Emma's Cards. It finishes at the end of the month and has a fabulous prize of two stamps from IndigoBlu. As I'm on the DT I'm not eligible to enter, but, I have made a card for my young Grandson, who started school last week, that I would like to show you.
I started with an 8"x8" blank and matted and layered grey and red Papermania textured card. I then wrote in white pen over the red layer to decorate it. I used an image from the Paintbox Poppets CD from Crafter's Companion and matted and layered that with red and pale blue card.
The other panel is from a Papermania capsule collection, also matted and layered. I created the row of books in MCS with an image from Polkadoodles Pretty Tuff CD. The blackboard is from The Wine Buffs CD with the text added in MCS. I finished off with some coloured Candi and tabs made from leftover card.
Don't forget to come and join in the fun, it doesn't have to be a card, just something crafty that matches the theme.
Lovely card, bet you had a lump in your throat whilst making this one. Just another phase in your son's life, but scary as you think they are growing up too quick.x
