School Friends

Here is another  CASE for Challenge #5. I was inspired by a Back to School card  (designer - Susan Liles) I found in the November/December 2009 edition of Paper Crafts.

The school bus is an Imaginisce Snag ‘em Stamp I picked up somewhere for $1.29. This was the first time I used it. Stamped it on yellow cardstock and cut around the image. Colored the STOP sign red, the bumpers dark gray. That’s about it. I personalized this card for a friend but you could print pretty much anything here.  I’m really pleased with how the card looks and will probably find a reason to make a couple more. Doing great with my challenge so far!

and inside …

This one was pretty simple - but after I finished the Saturday Sketch, wanted to CASE something quick and easy. I was inspired by a card designed by Tami Mayberry in the May 2010 edition of CardMaker Magazine. I have a little set of acrylic stamps - coffee/tea theme - but the original packages is gone so not sure whose stamp se this is. The paper? Again, just scraps!

One of the ladies who participated in our last challenge put me on to Sketch Saturday at http://sketchsaturday.blogspot.com and while my own challenge is to CASE from a magazine I already own, I saw this sketch and knew right away what card I wanted to do. This cute little fellow is Bigsby, a free digital image from Karen to celebrate her 100 followers (many many more now - her images are adorable!) and available at http://www.karensdoodles.blogspot.com . I’ve colored him up with my Copics - the paper?  just scraps!
