ABCD

Happy Monday, Girls!

Today's card is a sweet little back-to-school card that I made for my son. I have bunches of this Cosmic Orange cardstock leftover from my son's birthday party invitations so I thought I would make good use as he really does like orange anyway. I layered a piece of Yellow Crepe Ruche on top of that and then stitched all around it. I really do love this Ruche line of paper - it's got this amazing handmade woven papyrus look to it - just really really different.

The canvas letters are from Making Memories and again I've used one of those sweet little Hero Arts clothes pins that I picked up from A Million Memories. I just ordered more of them this weekend - at $1.12 for a pack of 25, that's only 4.5-cents each!

Speaking of deals - Paper Temptress has a few specials this month celebrating Texture. Classic Linen papers are 40% off, the fabulous Classic Columns papers are 25% off (I use a lot of Classic Columns papers in my quick & easy cards as the texture is already there for you), and Grandee Felt papers are 25% off - all for the whole month of August.

Here's to a super fab start to your week!
