Hi ho, Hi ho, it's back to school we go...

Hi again! I'm back with another marvelous Maggie creation. This month on Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge we are challenging you to a create a Fall card, using autumn colors or a back to school theme card. Your choice!

For my card I decided to do a back to school theme, using some almost autumn colors ( because the temps here in Texas are still in the 100's) and two older Tilda images. Here I've combined #258 TILDA WITH EYE GLASSES and #534 BOOKS WITH COVERS. Unfortunately neither of these images are available in Diana's store, but I know that if you ask her she will do her utmost to get them for you.

This is an easel card and the stopper is actually a post it note holder. I thought it might be quite handy sitting by your phone or on your desk. ;-)



Here is a close up of Tilda. I gave her read eye glasses, but don't ask me why...just because! I cut two of the books off the stack of books and used them as part of my embellishments. The little charm hanging from the seam finding bow is a little ruler which I've had forever.


I made the little post it holder box using the same dp as is on the bottom of the card and added some post it notes. That's my only embellishment on the bottom.


Here is what the card looks like from the side. Of course because of the depth of the post it notes, this card won't close completely, but if you're going to use the notes then you don't want it closed anyway.


Well that's my card for the September challenge. I hope you'll come along and play with us and post your creations to the Highlites blog.
