My goodness!! This summer went fast! My Antonio starts 1st Grade in exactly 2 weeks from today! I'm happy for him but sad for me! I like when he's here with mommy! But regardless it's Back to School for him and also on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog! We want to see those cards for students and/or teachers! I can't wait to see what you all come up with!
This week the Simon Says DT is featuring products by Sizzix! I chose to use this fun Notebook Embossing Folder from the Sizzix/Tim Holtz Collage and Notebook Embossing Folders Set. I simply ran it through my Cuttlebug with some Kraft cardstock and then ran a Sanding Block over the raised embossed edges to make it stand out a little more. I then inked the edges with some white ink.
I also used the new Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Clear Stamp Set called 'Shoot for the Stars'. Love this fun set! So many possibilities!!
I finished up the card with some twine, Liquid Pearls, mini Maya Road Ruler and a real pencil.
And, don't forget, Heidi will generously give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!
And lastly, don't forget about the Special Anything Goes Children's Back to School Challenge! It runs the entire month of August and is exclusively for children the ages of 2 through 16! There will be 2 winners, each to receive a special Junior Stamper Kit! Good luck everyone!!

I mentioned something to my daughter about bringing her teacher a little treat for the first day of school and she told me, um that would make me a teachers pet. I can't do that, I don't want the kids to make fun of me.
Love this card Melissa, love that you used some of the elements from the September card Kit..hugs
