Since two more of my kids went back to school today, I made my card in honor of them. I used Olivia from Olivia's Birdies and the sentiment and backpack from Daphne Goes to School, both by C.C. Designs. The paper is Sugared by BasicGrey. Olivia is colored with Copics. I stamped the sentiment repeatedly on the yellow paper to create a background. The backpack was stamped on the flowered paper, cut out, and popped up on dimensionals. I used a craft knife to cut a slit under Olivia's hand, and I slipped the handle of the backback into it. Embellishments are SU! ribbon and Dew Drops.
Today I sent Megan off to her first day of high school and Anna off to her first day of first grade, all within twenty minutes. It didn't hit me until I walked back into the house. Poor Chris, he didn't know what to do with me... :(Here's my little first grader with her backpack full of supplies...
... and here she is getting on the bus.
Okay, back to the challenge...
