Deedee has been busy designing some really great images and I have the priviledge of previewing one for you here today. This is from the School or Bust set and it's perfect for those Back to School cards and projects. The set will be available for purchase on August 1st.
My card is a basic white base that I matted a piece of black card stock on. I wanted this to represent a blackboard. One my of first memories of school was the chalkboard and I was fascinated by the letters that went across the top of it. I also used a library pocket and card as another school element to my card. I love seeing Deedee's "friends" inside the bus eager to head to school. I finished the card with some tape measure ribbon that I've had in my stash for awhile now. Even my kids liked it despite what it reminded them of. Truth be told, I think they're ready to head back to school, they are bored to tears! LOL
Supplies:
Card stock: Neenah Classic Crest, Black (Recollections)
Copics: B00, B000, C8, C10, E33, R27, RV10, W-3, Y15, Y17, YG00, YG03, YR20
Tools: Large oval punch (SU), white gel pen
Embellishments: Library pocket and card, ribbon (Offray)
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a super Friday and a great weekend!!
9 Encouraging Thoughts:
Now is that ever cute or what?? See were both on the same wave length today...I'm putting some bookmarks together today.
Great card!! Too bad all my library pocket cards are in my classroom and I can't get in there today.
This is so cute! And look at that puff of smoke! I love the parers you paired it with and the ruler looks so cool! ~Diane
Melissa, this is just such a wonderful card! Fabulous coloring, and I ** all the different school details you pulled into it -- the blackboard complete with alphabet, the measuring tape, the library card and pocket. This is just so perfectly "school!" Enjoy the last couple weeks of your kids' vacation -- it goes by so quickly, doesn't it? Hugs, Deedee
Super cute card, Mel!! Love all the fun touches!! Fabulous job!!
Your thought behind this card is masterful and wonderfully executed! Spoken like a teacher hey! Lol! I am not but was a Teacher's Assistant! This is gorgeous Mel and you deserve a bow! Hugs to you my sweet friend.
How sweet this is - what a darling school bus filled with beautiful lil babes :) I cannot believe schools are starting here alreayd - Im' soooo not ready! :( Neither are my lil babes but we have to roll with it! Lovely job! x0x0
Awww! I love this image!! What a cute B2S card, the little animals have no idea what they're embarking on. ;) Super sweet Mel, and I do remember that measuring ribbon came from a trip to Offray! You know, I was just looking for my stash, I was going to use it on a card and couldn't find any. haha!
Happy weekend to you and the fam!
This is just the cutest idea and amazing coloring! I don't know where my summer went but I don't want to think about school yet. I guess I'm going to have to milk the next few weeks good spending that extra time with my daughter!
Wonderful idea! I'm praying for you and keep wondering if you found a job yet?
oh Mel this is awesome. I love it .... I'll have to make sure and let Deedee know (actually I think I'll be going shopping :-) ).
Your card is perfect and it does remind me of a chalkboard. I absolutely love it. :-)
hugs
