Back To School...CASology + FWF...

I cannot believe how time has flown by lately!  The end of August is near and some schools in the area are starting back this week.  WOW!!!  Where did summer go???  I have a back to school card to share...I am playing along with CASology this week and squeaking right in under the wire.  This is a really awesome blog with some great challenges!  This is my first time joining in, but I hope to be able to jump in more often :)

I am also linking up with FWF (Friends With Flair) over at the Unity Blog.  They are having a sale to benefit one of their employees fighting cancer.  Please check it out...great quality products, supporting one of their own.  This company is one of the best...because they have heart...a heart that stretches down to the tips of their toes.

When I think of school supplies, I almost always think of looseleaf or notebook paper.  This is where the background of my card was inspired from.  I also used to love the teachers who had those cool little stamps that said things like, 'Way To Go!', 'Super!', 'Awesome Work!' with little smiley faces or arrows.  I ran across these American Crafts chipboard elements that I have had for YEARS while cleaning, so I thought I would finally give them some use.  I love being able to use product up :)

I really loved how the ruled paper turned out.  When you do not have the right paper, just make your own, right?  Hope you all have a great week!
