BELLI CHALLENGE #32 - BACK TO SCHOOL!


What is the Belli Challenge you ask?

Each week, I try to give us a challenge that will use things we have lying around our stamp rooms! With a constant flow of new things coming out, I tend to forget about the other things I have and they quickly become clutter!

This Weeks Belli Challenge is BACK TO SCHOOL!! You can embellish anything with any of your BACK TO SCHOOL things. I thought I had a school themed stamp set laying around that I would use, but I was mistaken! I must have sold it!
So I dug deep down in my "stuff" box and grabbed these felt letters that have been laying there for 6 months. I used them on another Belli Challenge, remember?
Here is what you need to do...Make a completed project embellishing your work with ANY BACK TO SCHOOL THEME. Share the link here in the comments linking to my Blog and CBC32. When you post to Splitcoaststampers or to your Blog, be sure and put CBC32 as the KEYWORD and mention of the challenge - with a link! I will do a random drawing for all participants and have a special pack of assorted Designer Papers for the winner!

Now on to my project! I made a pencil box for Noah who is entering the THIRD GRADE. Boy does time fly! I can still remember holding that baby. LOL
I made my own pencil box and will write a tutorial later today when I am more awake! :)
Stamp Set: NONE!
Cardstock and Ink: Real Red, Whisper White, Summer Picnic
Accessories: Bone Folder, Red Sticky Tape, White felt letters, 1 1/2" circle punch, Red stitched ribbon
Be sure to check out what everyone else has made and make a comment too for them please! We all LOVE comments. It is fun to see what everyone is thinking about what we are creating! :)
