Back to School!

For those living in the northern hemisphere, Summer is over, almost, and it is back to school! With this in mind Sugar Creek Hollows challenge #68 this week is  'Back to School'. 
We also have a Guest Designer, Mynette Kitchen, and her blog is 'Mynette Kitchen on a Stampage'. Please do pop over and take a look at her fabulous creation!

 For my card this week, I had a fun time putting it all together!
I, once again, popped over to Digital Collage Studio and shopped for school related images with an 'old fashioned' lean, and came up with this card.


As I had so many images I wanted to use, I went with an easel card. The background of the card front I kept black and white, with the very cute blackboard group doing their sums and the bottom half of the card I used some text paper, die cut with a Spellbinders edge die. All the other images come off a sheet from DCS, which I fussy cut, inked the edges and mounted, some on foam squares and others direct to paper. The base of the card was covered with the text paper and the report card and book images added to the front end. It is in a way a CAS card (??) as there is no ribbon, flowers, bows, punch outs, pretty die cuts etc!
I enjoyed this card and I hope you enjoy looking at it too. Lots to study.

 Please do pop over to visit my teamies blogs - links on the right side of my blog - to see what they have been up to. There are some amazing creations there that I hope will inspire you to enter into our challenge this week!
