It's back to school time! I'm excited, can you tell? I love having my kids home for the summer but these last weeks of summer have been hard. I think they're just as ready to go back as I was to take them. :)
It's a new 'Anything Goes' challenge over at Sister Act! I hope you will come over and join us.
Our sponsor this week is Fitztown.
Thank you so much for sponsoring our challenge, Fitztown!
We have our first male teacher this year so I created this card that my daughter could write a first day note in and give to him. I wanted it school-themed but not girly...that was more challenging than I thought but I think I accomplished the goal. She loved and he did too, especially what she wrote to him. :)
I used the Cut and Paste line by Echo Park and matted those together with some vellum (over the scissors, backpack, etc paper). I then tied some abc twill ribbon I have had forever and added my Tim Holtz grungeboard letters on top of that.
I really like the way that it came out.
Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.

You are so thoughtful to make this card for the teacher, Alycia! It is a great card for a guy and I'm not surprised that he loved it! Thank you so much for entering my second NBUS Challenge!! I hope you continue to get healthier every day and that no crap comes home from school to reinfect you guys. The twins always get sick in the first few weeks, but I've got my fingers crossed for everyone this year!! Hugs, Darnell

That's a great card! I'm sure the teacher loved it. You did a great job at keeping it gender neutral; that can be so tough! Thanks for sharing it over at Red Carpet Studios!
