Back to School!

The first full week of school and I thought it would be fun to play along with my first Curtain Call Challenge since the theme is "Back to School"!  Here is the inspiration photo...


Here is my card,


I was thinking about THIS awesome card by Kath when I made it...I think I am a little bit obsessed with it :)!!   I loved her layout and fun patterned trees.  I added some fun cork paper from Crate Paper and dusted the edge of my black cardstock to look like a chalkboard.


Used apples from Waltzingmouse Stamps Peace and Plenty set and a ruler image and sentiment from A Muse Studio's "School Days" set.  Stamped the ruler on MME woodgrain paper to make it look more authentic.

Maybe this summer being over thing isn't so bad after all...I am feeling quite stampy lately ;)!  Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:
Stamps:  Peace and Plenty, Waltzingmouse Stamps, School Days, A Muse Studio
Paper:  My Mind's Eye Stella Rose & The Sunny Side collections, Crate Paper Storyteller, PTI Black 
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, PTI Fresh Snow
Other:  Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities Circles, button, Studio Calico wooden stars, red paint, twine
