Ahhh...Saturday!

I don't know why, but this week just really kicked my behind. I just couldn't "get it together". I didn't visit blogs, barely kept up with my card making and well, just was plain "out of it". 


I am so hopeful that this next week is MUCH better! Hehe! Especially since there are so many awesome things happening this week...be sure you check back often!!


But for today, I was looking at some challenges and spied a popular theme, back to school so I thought this Pure Innocence -You Make The Grade image would be perfect!

The challenges I'm entering this card into are~(I think this is a record number for me!! LOL!)

• Stamp Something: Back to School Somethings
• Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge #18: Back To School 
• Paper Garden Projects Fourth Friday Challenge: Falling For You- back to school and fall creations
• Paper Pretties Wednesday Challenge: Back to School 
• Cute Card Thursday #127: Dying for a punch- no punches, nesties, or using Big Shot/Cuttlebug, etc. 

I paper pieced her skirt. Love the way the chalkboard came out! I had colored it and then stamped it with VersaMagic Cloud White but it didn't show up so I figured it needed to be darker, I colored over it and it faintly appeared so then I went over it with my white pen~ it looks just like chalk in real life. The sewing is faux as I was too lazy to move the sewing machine.

supplies:

• card size: 5 x 5
• stamps: PI You Make the Grade,
• paper: some from my older than dirt stash,
