First full week of school and we are all exhausted!! Figuring out routines to settle in to, attending meetings, signing kids up for courses in our little Outreach world, wondering *who* forgot to order much-needed textbooks (not me...that falls on shoulders broader than mine), deciding what other materials are required; attending more meetings, navigating through computer glitches (which is most hilarious, given that 'techie savvy' and Carol ought not to appear in the same sentence), and...you get the picture. From chaos emerges order, as I'm told, but no one says exactly 'when' that may be! In the midst of it all, I'm having way, way too much fun: much to be said for being surrounded by youthful energy!! Still...bring on October - not because I'm wishing away time, but because by then, we *should* know what we're doing. Sort of.
Since 'back to school' IS where I'm at, playing with the CAS-ual Fridays Back to School challenge
had to happen. Once again, my TAWS Learning Curve set has made an appearance. The 'reading, writing and 'rithemtic' images seemed 'just right' (I nearly wrote 'just write' Yikes!!) for Wanna Sketch #8.
The background paper is a Little Yelow Bicylce school patterned paper pad - and I've nearly used it all up with my recent school creations. Perhaps it's time to look at papers for Fall...Thanksgiving...Halloween...
Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit adds sparkle to my days!

Adorable card, Carol, just perfect for the Back to School challenge!! (It's so hard to believe that the fall holidays are upon us already!)
I've been hankering after these stitched shapes dies forever, Carol ... how long can I resist having seen this little cutie ... it's so fun ... I can feel my resolve weakening!!

Lovely CAS card! And your stamp choice is awesome. Congrats to your hubby on his achievement. Thanks for playing along with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
What a great way to showcase the fun stamps with just the brigth strip of paper! That calculator with the "hello" makes me smile every time!
