Back 2 School Heart 2 Heart Challenge

Well not really back to school for us yet, school does not start until Sept 7th for us but it will be here soon! Todays challenge ar http://www.heart2heartchallenges.com/ is to create something for back to school, when I saw this title I honestly was stumped at first! See this year will be my first year of homeschooling(super,super excited by the way) and so I was not quite sure where to go with this, then it dawned on me it's still back to school just homeschool, but what I needed was an album! So I got out my Cricut and "plantin schoolbook" cartridge and cut out a bunch of apples out of cardstock and then dusted off my Bind-It-All and bound the apples together! I did not do the inside pages yet as I wanted to wait until I take the pictures. I embellished the front cover with cardstock and I used the "A,B, C" Monogram Dimensional elements which I inked with Sunflower, Clover Meadow, and Dutch Blue and then stamped the polka dots from the Spot On Backgrounds stamp set on them in the same color, I did the same thing on the foam die cut numbers(123). The patterned paper I used was from the Animal Cookies Level 2 paper pack. The lines and the font I used were from the Classmate Alphabet stamp set(Love it). The little boy ang girl I stamped and then cut out and adhered with 3-d foam tape, they were from the Family Ties-children stamp set. The buttons are from the summer collection and tied with black hempI used multiple ribbon on the bindings and thats it until I get some pictures! Are you getting ready for back to school at your house? Join in our challenge and see what you can create! Happy stamping
