School's Out! (Almost)

Happy Wednesday, don't the weeks fly by,I know I say the same every week but I really can't believe that it's time for a new challenge at Scrapbook Sisters. The theme for this week is "Just for teacher" I'm sure there will be a few of you busily making cards for your children to give,if so,this is the challenge for you! I remember making loads last year when my daughter finished Junior school!

I so loved making this card and feel a little sorry that it hasn't got a home to go to,oh well, any excuse to make a card.

I love these Woodware stamps,wonder if Karen's missing them,she gave them to me to play with a while back! The fab papers including the "sums" is from a selection of 12x12 papers,Learning Curve  by Bo Bunny.

The Star was cut on the Cricut and I stapled some ribbon which I had rubbed over with a brown chalk eye. If you look closely you can see that the stripey paper was put through the ribbler. 

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

Bearly Mine 14,Anything goes,

Oldie But Goodie 22,Anything goes,

Papertake Weekly,Anything goes,

Stamps R Us, There was a little girl,

Allsorts 110,Free and Easy,

Catch The Bug July,Anything goes,

Scrapin Chicks,Favourite song,(School's Out For Summer!)

CIC31,Die's,Punches and Die Cuts.

Anything Goes!

How about a nice easy challenge for a Wednesday?  It's Scrapbook Sisters' Challenge 41 and the theme is Anything Goes! Now I could have got a bit more adventurous with my DT card I know but there I was,sat at the table about to craft when I heard a little voice from a brown paper bag on my desk. I tried to ignore it but it kept on saying "Pick me,pick me!" Ok  maybe the voice was in my head but I have to admit that this gorgeous sheet of scrumminess has been calling to me ever since I chose it as part of a class kit a few weeks ago.  I have stroked it against my cheek on numerous occasions (I know I'm amongst friends and can admit to this) but there was no way I could use it for a layout,it had to be a card for this beauty! The paper is Haunted,"Harlequin" by My Mind's Eye,it's velour on this side and dotty on the reverse. The Sentiment is Forever Friends,stamped in brown Stazon. I got out my neglected Cropodile to add eyelets to thread the knotted string through and to punch holes for the brads. I love this simple card!

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

Clear It Out,Keep it Simple,

Everybody's Art Challenge 147,Anything goes,

SOS5,Tools of our trade,

MIM42,Anything goes,

PIO25,Metal,

CYDA22,Monochrome,

C4C92,Use String.

Don't forget that Scrapbook Sisters also have a fortnightly giveaway so don't for get to enter your name when you check out the rest of the DT cards!
