Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #226 - Back to School Inspiration Board

happy Monday!
let's start this week off with a NEW challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!


this is a bittersweet back to school season for me, so I was extra happy to work things out while making this fun card for my bestie (who's a teacher!)


here we go!

I started by stamping the images from Fruitful Friends, Little Woodland Library, Little Woodland Library Friends, Little Woodland Library Add-on and Simply Celebrate Graduation. then I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color them in. I added some details with a white gel pen, and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.

in a shocking change of events, I kept the background simple with a piece of patterned paper from the Really Rainbow Petite Paper Pack. I love how it has that school paper look!
I also used one the paper clip dies from Paper Clips and die cut it out with some metallic silver cardstock - such a fun, unique touch to the back to school theme!

I had so much fun adding the cute bookworms to the card - I especially love the one buddies at the bottom of the card! they're so cute! and the reds and greens together really pop!
I finished the card off by heat embossing the sentiment in white on the chalkboard to make it look like a classroom!


I really can't WAIT for you to play along! you could win a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn!!!!
