Back to School

Good morning and Happy

Did you notice our posting time has changed? Well we realised that our Australian and New Zealand crafters weren't getting much time to use our fabulous discount code with the mahoosive time difference. So to try and make it fairer we now got live at midnight so everyone has more of a chance to use the code, as it only lasts for 24 hours. So don't forget to pop over to the Digi Choosday blog to grab your code for today after you've finished here.

Now onto this weeks challenge. For you it is of course Anything Goes, but should you wish to follow our challenge it is Back To School and here is my make, or makes.

 This started out life as a plain Kraft chipboard. I used my go to collection for this make which of course is the fabulous Picknix 1 collection. You can also get this on CD should you wish HERE. Or in separate smaller collections HERE. So I started by covering the edges of the board with white Gesso before trimming the paper and gluing in place. I then brushed some Gesso over the edges of the paper and added some faux stitching after it had dried. I then used the little bubble stamp from the Celebrations Stamp set. I then cut out some letters, numbers and an apple and glued them on. I then added some of my own text over the blackboard embellie. Finally I added some tape measure ribbon along the bottom with loops to hold some pens, pencils etc. And a piece as a further something.

Here is the board without the pens in.

I then also decided to make a card to match this so then printed out another apple embellie but larger to use as a topper.

I'm entering this into the following challenges:
