I started by covering a white card base with green cardstock. Next I added a panel of school-themed paper. The cat image is from Create with TLC, which I believe was a follower freebie (thank you, Paulette). I printed, rounded the corners, mounted on a rounded-corner blue panel, and affixed to the card with foam tape. The sentiment is from KaDoodle Bug Designs and was a freebie at one time (thank you). I coloured it with pencils and affixed to the card. The books are from Far Far Hill, another freebie (thank you), which I fussy cut and affixed. Lastly I added two gold stars from my stash. Here are the supplies used:
- Digi image, sentiment, and clip art: Described above
- Patterned paper: Glitter Max
- Coloured pencils: Prismacolor
- Cardstock: Recollections
- White card base: Domtar

Nicely done! Like the paper and how the design goes around the edge and makes you focus on the cool image in the middle. Great job.
