Make It Monday #80. Making a garland with Ashley Cannon Newell. Loved this challenge. It's the 1st day of classes for the kids in our area and I will start mentoring my 1st grader again soon. Don't you love the smell of a freshly sharpened #2 pencil?
My card used that #2 pencil for my garland. I just had to stamp a "2" from Fresh Alphabet on my pencil. The alpha strip is so stinking cute! I remember those across all the bulletin boards. Have a wonderful day. ~Rhonda

Rhonda, this is so colourful!! The apple garland is perfect for this time of year and the two pencils are super fun! I love the polka dot background and letter border at the top ... totally reminds me of the blackboards in a classroom.

ReplyDeleteRhonda, this is so clever and a perfect back-to-school card! The pencils and apples just pop off the background.
