Well, it's just about time for the kiddos here in Michigan to go back to school....
So, I decided to do a cute little "school" card to send out to wish them the best...
And it just so happened I came across this cute little magazine front cover challenge
at Paper Crafter's Corner, did you know they do a weekly challenge there
using the front covers of magazines...how fun!!
Here is this weeks cover
and here is my card.....
I embossed my card stock with NBUS (never before used stuff...lol)
a fun embossing folder from the paper studio.....
the smiley face is another NBUS stamp from Reflections
I colored my star brads (they were cream color) with Sharpie markers...
the chalkboard is a clearance item from Hobbylobby (ATC's)
and I used my new chalk marker from SU for the "math"
I "borrowed" a crayon cover from the grandkids color box
and stamped my "ruler" from a free stamp set I got with a magazine...
so, I think it turned out kind of cute and different for me....
I am entering this in the Paper Crafters Weekly challenge Magazine Mondays week 19
