School Daze

Whew!  I wasn't sure that I would make it in time....but I did!  This is my GD card for this week's  challenge at Sassy Studio Designs.  Can you guess the theme?  Yep...it's a back to school theme.  Now, not everyone is so excited by the idea, but if I remember rightly, the first day back was always good....when you got to meet up with your friends again!!


This is a pretty simple design, with no DP.  I've used the Happy Teen image, colouring her with water colours and adding a border of stickles to the die cut edge.  Some faux stitching and alphabet stamps dress up the card blank, and a few gems and ribbons add a bit extra.  The school bag is another image, this time from The Stamping Boutique.

So why not give it a go, for your chance to win some of these designs for yourself.  We would love to see your entry this week.  Thanks for visiting!
