Simply Create Too Challenge 20 - Back To School

We have a new challenge starting over at Simply Create Too and although the kids in the UK have a few more weeks left of their summer break, the challenge theme this fortnight is:

Back To School

This is actually a graduation card that I was asked to make - Clair who graduated as a teacher actually looks like the Charmed Cards and Crafts digi which I've coloured with Promarkers!  I've had the Holly and Madison set of digi's for ages and I really should use them more!

I've used an acetate base for something a little different and added a blackboard type message underneath the Tiddly Inks blackboard.  Bunting I made and tied on with embroidery thread.  Gold star is table confetti (but rather chunky!) which I've had for ages.

And by all accounts, Clair loved the card!  Good luck with the challenge!

Simply Create Challenge 51 - Back To School

Welcome to the Simply Create challenge! We took an extra week as time off for good behaviour so we are a week later than anticipated! And our theme this fortnight is

Back To School

So however you interpret this, you can enter! For more details please pop over to the challenge blog.

My main image is one drawn especially for me by Claire from Jellypark - how lucky am I?! He's been coloured with Promarkers and I've added a computer generated sentiment to the board he is holding as its going to be sent to a friends little boy who will be starting school next week!

The background is from Tiddly Inks which comes as part of a bundle. The main image has been added with foam pads and all the other bits n bobs are from my stash.

Good luck with the challenge!

Too Cool For School!

This is one of my favourite Tiddly Ink images and I've made Geekatude large! The card is approx 15cm square and I've used a retired freebie image of the blackboard as my background, also from Tiddly Inks.

The image has been coloured with Promarkers and I've added him to the card base with foam pads so he stands out a little.


I actually have a confession to make - I had to add a strip of card to the top of the base so it formed a square otherwise the thinner card that I'd printed the blackboard on would flop around - not a good look eh?! Serves me right for not thinking straight before I cut!

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

Creative Inspirations: Back To School
Cupcake Inspirations: Photo Inspiration (red apple on the pc and his shoes as well as overall theme)
