The holidays here are almost over (or already over in Scotland), and it's time for the youngsters to head back to school. It's a biggie this year for my daughter, as she's leaving school and starting college to do her A-Levels. It will mean a whole new level of independence for her, having to get herself out of bed in the mornings, and travel there and back on public transport (her high school was less than 5 minutes walk from our house!). she seems pretty excited, but I think there's a fair amount of worry too, as she still has to nail down the subjects she wants to do (which she has to tell them this Thursday...)
So, all of this ties in nicely with the theme at this week's Sweet Stampin' challenge, which is back to school.
Great minds definitely think alike, because there were FOUR of us on the DT that chose a LOTV stamp from our stash for this theme.
This is my offering:
I used some Grace Taylor papers, and fussy cut a few pencils from one of the sheets to use as embellishments. I added a LOTV sentiment, and there you have it.
i hope you'll go have a looksee at this fella's brothers and sister, as well as the other gorgeous examples waiting for you over on the Sweet Stampin' blog, and why not come and play along?
Have a fantabulous weekend!

Adorable Sammy! What a perfect back to school image, and I love the pencil pattern paper, so fun!! Great colours, fabulous design!! hugs :)
This just shows that it's impossible to resist the cuteness of LOTV! The crayon and hopscotch DP is pretty cute too, and gorgeously colourful too.
I hope your daughter enjoys her new adventure and I wish her all the best at college :-)
Big hugs, Kat xx
