SALS 47:Back to school

Good morning! Bright and early today - I should be out running when this post goes live - but we'll see if my little leggies can cope when it comes to morning!!

Now I had hoped to have some holiday snaps to show you today but I'm afraid my computer isn't playing ball at the moment - its not loading up piccies so I'm trying to stay cool and calm and not thinking too hard about the longer term implications of this - however, if it doesn't work soon I'm going to be in trouble!

Over at SALS this fortnight we have a lovely new sketch for you to try out - we're sponsored by Robins Nest. Check out the main site here for details of this fortnights prize.

Here's the sketch


Here's what I did



I coloured the image with promarkers and used papers from LOTV and some from my stash. The back to school was stamped with individual letter stamps from Claritystamps.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

  6. Such a gorgeous card Rachel, she looks so happy to be going back to school. I had one that was always happy to go back and one that didn't want to go.
