Where's The Fountain Of Smart?

Hello and welcome.  It's Freebie Friday at Bugaboo Stamps blog Catch The Bug.  Today's image is Stella Calendar September, and she is priceless!

After printing off the image onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored her using both prismacolor and copic markers before sponging ballet blue ink around the edges and layering.  For the card, I added some never before used Creative Imaginations ruled designer paper I had forgotten I had onto a ballet blue card.  I then took some matching scrap card stock, stamped a book border using a retired MFT set, then also sponged ballet blue around the card before adding my layered image.  The only embellishments added were matching brads, ribbon and some dew drops.

Knowledge Is Power

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card I made for a couple of challenges using a retired set from My Favorite Things called I Heart Books.  Since I was going with a "back to school" theme, I pulled out a brown paper lunch bag to use as the base of my card before adding some retired Basic Grey designer paper and sponging Tim Holtz fired brick distress ink around the edges of the card.  I then stamped the images in memento tuxedo black ink onto scraps of white card stock and colored them using both prismacolor and copic markers.  I then cut out all of the colored images and popped up the reading child and added the book worm to the inside.  The only embellishments added are some red bakers twine, brads, and a couple of prima flowers with a bling center.

Although my own children are not in school, or college, anymore, I still totally enjoy this old Staples commercial.  You just have to love back to school, right?  ;)
