"Back To School"

 

Things have been rather sad and hectic on the home front.  An Aunt who I was very close to passed away Monday morning. I will soon be heading to Missouri for the service and to spend some time with my uncle. Sunday my son tore his Achilles tendon completely away from the bone. He will have surgery today to re-attach it . He will be in a cam boot for 6-8 months. I am trying to get ready for my trip and babysitting the three grandsons. Life does not always go as planned, does it? Anyway, on to other things besides my woes. 

I know I am always telling you what a great deal it is to buy digi stamps from The Paper Shelter! This card is a perfect example of why you should do so! My background paper is from the digi stamp Back to School and the digi is Autumn Attitude I mixed the two and came up with this fabulous card. (I mean the layout not that I do fabulous work!) the blue tab is a print on the paper an I just added a button. Don't you think it has so much depth? I punched the leaves out with a $ store punch that I bought years ago!  I popped them and the Autumn Attitude image with foam tape! A pretty bow and bingo sentiments finished off my card! Won't you join us this time at The Paper Shelter for our "Back To School" challenge? Maybe you can mix it up with background paper and images. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

I am entering this card at the following challenges:

My Song: (Gary Lewis and the Playboys)

Walk along the lake with someone new
Have yourself a summer fling or two
But remember I'm in love with you
And Save your heart for me

When the summer moon is on the rise
And you're dancin' under starlit sky
Please don't let the star gets in your eyes
Just Save your heart for me
