Getting Back to School

This week, Heart 2 Heart challenges ask that we make something with the theme of "back to school."  What came to my mind was of course the Scholastic paper packet and one of the shapes available in the Close to My Heart Artiste cartridge.  The shape looks exactly like a page from a notebook.  How neat!

My inspiration came from one of the sketches from "Make it from your Heart - Volume I."  You see how I followed the pattern strictly in my post yesterday, and today's card is a variation of it: I stuck down the right panel at an angle to mimic a loose page detached from a notebook and my focal point has moved upwards so the star could sit comfortably on the page.


Make it from you Heart is really a must-have for scrapbookers and cardmakers.  It will never fail you when you need inspiration.  Best of all, it is very affordable.

This card is also entering the following challenges:
1.  Bitten by the Bug 2 - back to school
2.  Exploring Cricut - back to school
3.  Crazy Amigo Challenge - back to school
4.  Makeover Monday - back to school
