Colour Me #85 and Addicted to CAS #70 - School


Hello....I have one card to share today and it is for the new Colour Me #85 challenge. Timing is just perfect for this week's inspiration, school is just about ready to start where I teach, next Wednesday in fact! I love the fun pencil that was used and knew I had to pull out my wonderful pencil die from PTI. I ended up making 25 of these cards and sent one to each of my students welcoming them to the new school year. I hope you will find the time to play along with us this week.

I am also entering my card in the challenge at Addicted to CAS - School but I changed it up a bit...it was too time consuming to stamp the lines for the paper, so the card has the pencil and stamped sentiments. I am also entering my card is the Back to School Challenge at SSS.

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy the rest of your week!
