SCHOOL DAYS ATCs

School officially started here today.  I can't believe that the summer break went by so quickly!  Now, if we can only get some RAIN and cooler temperatures, it will FEEL more like it's time for school to begin again!

I signed up for an ATC swap themed "School Days".  Very appropriate for this time of year!  I wanted to share four of the cards six cards I made with you.  The only requirement for this swap is that you have to use vintage photographs or images in the design and they had to be fairly flat.  That is difficult for me because I love dimension.  But I tried my best to keep dimension to a minimum.  Many of the images I found online.  You may recognize some Alpha Stamps trims, some Paper Whimsey children, an Oxford Impressions Stamp and Graphic 45 ABC Primer papers among some Crackle and Glossy Accents, Stickles and Distress Inks.


Thanks for stopping by!  I hope I inspired you have some fun and get inky!

Find some time in your day to play!!!  It's SOUL FOOD!!!
