Summer is flying by and naturally I'm starting to think about the beginning of school once again....new backpack, shopping for clothes, pencils, rulers, all of the school supplies needed, new lunchbox, etc. When I saw the color challenge at Emma's Paperie, I immediately saw all things fall-ish and a School Girl mini album came to mind.
I used some vintage Bingo cards I had on hand that I found on etsy a while back and used them as my album base, then piled on the embellishments.
You can find all of the supplies I've used listed on the Emma's Paperie blog along with the beautiful color challenge photo.
Now taking a step back to summer, I created this card using a favorite color combo of mine and a few of my favorite things. The Garden Variety stamp set was used along with the Garden Variety, Seed Packet, and Seed Packet Frame dies.
I cut the gardening tools from cardboard once again and painted and distressed them.
A peek at the tag found inside the seed packet.
The floral paper on the card can be found at Made by Janet, the scrunched seam binding from Craft Spot, and the millinery flower from The Little Pink Studio.
Enjoy your day today!
