A crafty little guy...

It is so hard to believe that it is almost time for back to school.  The little ones are getting ready with their backpacks and lunch bags, and even if they are not especially looking forward to classes and homework, there is still some excitement in the air.   Oh, maybe that is the Mommies....lol.


Today I am showing you a card that I actually made earlier, for my grandson to give to his teacher.  I thought I would share it now,  as the image would also be perfect for a back to school card.  The image is from Meljen's Designs, titled Desktop Mouse...he's a crafty little fellow!  Again, I've used my copics, adding a few gems to the design.

The frame has been made using 2 sizes of the Spellbinders Labels Twenty Three die, then coloured with distress stain and ink, and then stamped in black with a script stamp.

Nice and easy to colour and make up, with one little bow for just a bit more cuteness.

Hope your day is wonderful, and you can find time to enjoy it.  Thanks for visiting.
