Back to School Challenge

I came upon this challenge while going through my Google reader subscriptions and had to jump in. It's the Whachadoin Wednesday Challenge #53 from Storage Units Ink and More. This week the challenge is to create any type of 'Back to School' project like pencil boxes, teacher gifts, etc. Check it out.. they are offering a prize - just participate before next Tuesday.

These are memo pads that I had cut down and decorated with cardstock, designer papers, stamps, buttons and trims. A bit of a struggle at first to plan this without a template, but then it came together quite nicely. Great little gift to bring to a teacher. I don't have little ones in school.. and I'm not a grandma yet, but I've got lots of friends who would love these for their kids.

Thanks for stopping by.. enjoy your day!!

More from Mo’s Digital Pencil

I always had a fondness for reading bedtime stories to my sons when they were tots. I love the quiet time and watching their expressions…wide-eyed then slowly drifting off to sleep. There were many times when I intentionally left out a few words or skipped a page to do a ‘sleepiness’ check.. but they always caught me and I was busted!! These are special memories that still make me smile.

Remember the story of Little Red Riding Hood… her grandmother eaten whole by the wolf? Wow…that’s enough to give a little kid night horrors…

This card is made using one of the Red Riding Hood images from Mo’s Digital Pencil. .. so in keeping with a “Grimm’s Fairy Tale” version. I’m sending it to a friend of mine out West who has the worst luck with guys… so it reads “Once upon a time”… I think she’ll get a huge chuckle out of it.

This is little Bella and Bronte from Mo’s collection. I scaled the digital stamp down in size, used watercolor paper and colored with Doc Martin’s ph watercolors.. new art stuff I’ve added to my stash, and so much fun to use.

and here’s a closeup

This is another rendition of Bronte waiting for his treat. This is a fry box made using a Sizzix die and it holds doggie biscuits. Perfect little gift to bring to a friend’s pup. This is one of my projects for the craft fair at AppleFest in Weston, MO this October.

Thanks for stopping by today… enjoy your day, and be safe in all you do.
