Back to school at Creative Inspirations

Hello Lovelies! How are you today - I hope you are well. I'm okay. Resting those achilles - except for a swim yesterday - that should help! I'll be going to the gym today but just doing weights. Anyway - on with todays post:

This week's challenge at creative inspirations is Back To School!


This week's prize is from CLASSY CRAFTS and they are offering the Winner a £10 Gift Certificate!


Here's my make - I'm not too pleased with this one - it was made in a bit of a hurry and I think that shows! The stamps used are from Sheena Douglass and Lyndsay Mason.


The embossing folder I used is from Sheena douglass and is great for this time of year. The stamping on the main background is from the stampset The Chemist by Tim Holtz. 

Thanks for looking today. 

Big hugs

Rachel x
