It’s time for another CASEing (Copy & Selectively Edit) Cross Country adventure with Karen Hallam in CA and myself here in PA. Each month, Karen and I take a turn deciding on the direction of our monthly project. Sometimes it’s a theme, sketch or perhaps a color scheme. This month, Karen chose the theme appropriately as it’s Back to School. I know that no matter how old and removed I become from a school setting, I will always see September as the back to school month. And I’m sure Karen, being a retired teacher, feels the same.
So I get to show you Karen’s adorable card first. Also, look how creative the envelope is peeking out behind the card! You can get all the details on her blog HERE.
For my CASE, I created a card and matching Post-It Note holder using Simon Says Stamps Take Note stamp set and coordinating dies.
To create the marbled notebook look, I relied on a pattern from Echo Park’s Back to School 6 x 6 pad. Who doesn’t love a marbled notebook?! I attended Catholic school and these were the only “regulation” notebooks we were allowed to use. No spiral bound notebooks for us until high school!
I’m playing along with the NBUS Challenge #42 HERE since this is my first go-around with the SSS Take Note stamps and dies.
Karen and I surely appreciate you hanging out with us on our CASEing adventure today…thank you!
Take care,
Rosanne
I couldn’t wait to wake up and see your post today, Rosanne! Your notebook card and Post-it note holder are adorable! I love that set and your creative take on it! Thanks for playing with me today!
Both of you ladies have made really precise and incredible designs for your Back to School theme! You marble notebooks are so realistic, Rosanne, and I love the spiral paper, pencils, and die-cut sediments on top! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
