1st Day of 1st Grade: {SSC165}

Our daughter started first grade this week and this is the card I made to greet her the morning of her first day.  I meant to enter it in the Stampin' Royalty "back to school" challenge but I missed the deadline!  I used the sketch from the Stamping 411 operators and have managed to sneak it in barely under their deadline so at least I met one oops, nope, missed that one too...oh well...it's been a busy week around the Canopy!

I just love the Play Date designer paper featured here and you if you've been reading lately you know I can't stop using the Woodgrain background stamp!  I had some non-SU paper that fit my 'back to school' theme perfectly and is a pretty close match to SU's Real Red so I went with it!  My daughter doesn't mind that it's not "all SU"!

Thanks for stopping by today...Cheers!

    This is definitely a keeper, it will need to go in Arden's "School" mementos box. The card is so cute love all the colors and of course the owl punch!

    Oh My Goodness, this is way too cute. I love your colors and the use of the owl punch ( which I have to break out - I'm intimidated by it). All your elements works beautifully for this fantastic card. luv it!
