Back to school ideas

Today I've created a Teachers card and a note book!

Both of them are very clean and simple - not normally my style but I thought I'd give it a go.  You've got to get your self out if your comfort zone every now and then.

This Teachers card was super quick and easy to make, literally took 10 minutes to make and the most fiddly bit was tying the bows.

I stamped 3 apples on the right side of the card... I was going to do 3 in a row but I realised after stamping the first 2 the 3rd wouldn't fit so I just popped it above!

Around the card I wrapped  three colours of twine, Peapod, Lemondrop and Blossom - all from the store here.

I was soooooo tempted to add some paper piercing or some bling under the apples or to that big white space up the top.... but I left it alone!

The second thing I made was a little note book and this was just super easy to do.

  

I found some 8x8 designer paper in my stash, then cut a few pieces of thinner 8x8 white paper just half a centimeter smaller on the side of the opening of the note book. Next I scored all the paper in half, put two staples in the score line to attach all the paper together and added the washi tape to cover the staples!

Don't forget there are only 5 more days to enter your creation in the 'Back to School' challenge this month.

AND a very happy 

Australia Day to all our 

Aussie readers out there!!!!
