Back to School Inspiration

This card represents what back to school inspiration means to me. The beginning of the school year always represents new school supplies or as I call them now–craft supplies. It is a time of possibility. A time ready to learn and grow and create. The beginning of school means fresh, unused supplies ready for knowledge and learning.

I still get excited when I see school supplies in stores. Don’t even get me started about office supply or craft/hobby stores. The possibilities are endless. Let your imagination run wild.

Thinking of you card with red and green plaid background. Features die cut basket full of craft/school supplies.

Card Details

For some reason, this background paper just said “back to school” to me. I’m not sure why. Why do you think? The plaid? The colors? The way the lines look hand drawn? Maybe it reminds me of how a teacher might decorate their classroom door or bulletin board?

Then, of course, I had to feature a basket of school/craft supplies. This time, I created them using the Full Basket Dies and colored in the supplies with various markers.
