Lots of choices...school colors, school mascots, school items, Anything related to school.
I found this OLD 3d sheet (dated 2006 on it) and I thought this could work for a school theme.
the rulers at the bottom are from a 12 x 12 piece of scrapbook paper and so are the letters cut from a 12 x 12 piece of scrapbook paper. The typewriter keys might fit better when I went back to school and actually used a type writer....Not a computer keyboard like the school kids use today.
This challenge is timely because I wanted to make a card to send to my grandson who just left
to go back to school today. (and I missed him stopping by to say goodbye before he left to go back to school) Grand mom was at the dentist when he came by...I will get to see him again in October...
I miss him when he's away...He's about three hours from me.

ReplyDeleteThis has all the elements of returning to school, and it looks great too! NJ!
ReplyDeleteOh, sorry you missed your grandson, Jill. Your card is an awesome school-themed card!!
ReplyDeleteOh, P.S. 1) Is the Mt. Vernon method to just put everything in a giant pile and what rolls off you get to keep? That's just a guess; I've never heard of that one.
ReplyDelete2) Did your hairdresser like the card?
Darnell! You always give me my smile for the day! Love your answer...this is the Mt. Vernon Method...

I purchased their book ages ago...and their method works...especiall when you work 12 hours days out of your home, and don't have big blocks of time to clean...I could do it one side of the room at a time...LOL
