It's off to School we go!!

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to school we go!!! Tee-hee!! Eh, work-school, same difference!! LOL!! This week's Catch the Bug challenge theme is Back to School, with a Primary color challenge as well. I decided to use "Caution - Stella" from Bugaboo Stamps, since she reminds me of a school crossing guard. Now I don't know about the crossing guards in your town, but they take their job BIG TIME serious here! You better not blow through one of their zones or you'll get the finger! Not "THE FINGER" finger, but the finger shake! Now I'll admit, I'm a slowpoke driver and I NEVER speed, so if they ever shake their finger at me, it'll upset me for the rest of the day! I hate getting yelled at and that's what I think the "shaking finger" is like. What a wienie.... Free Smiley Courtesy of www.millan.net

Ok, so I printed Stella onto some Fanboy CS and colored her with my Copics. I sponged some ink around the edges and stitched her to some SU Basic Black CS. This DP is from DCWV Hittin the Books collection and I just love that blackboard paper, don't you? I added one of the plaid DP's on the bottom half of the card and then stitched the DP to some orange Bazzill CS. I tied this pretty orange saddle stitched ribbon into a cute bubbly bow and matted the panel onto the SU Basic Black cardbase. This little phrase was cut from a sheet of labels included in the paper pad. I finished by adding some blue glitter to her eyeshadow and some shine to her glasses with my glaze pens. Okee dokee, that's it from the hen house today. Be sure to leave a cluck below and lemme know whatcha think, k? Wanna see some more awesome Back to School ideas? Hop on over to Catch the Bug and take a lookee at all the eye candy from the rest of the Bugaboo Stamps DT. Come on and play along with this week's challenge....

  12. I think Stella might get the finger for using the word Brat - ha ha! I like the zig zag at the bottom and the colors. Stella looks great - knobby knees and elbows included.
