Fungus can be cute!

I cannot believe that the summer is almost over and it's almost time for another school year!!!  I see the school buses out, and all the back to school sale flyers are filling my mailbox.  We've got our backpacks, lunch boxes and school supplies in order.  My oldest is entering 7th grade (when did that happen?!) and my babies are going into Kindergarten (woot, woot!).

My card today is for my oldest sweetie.  She's not a humungo fan of Science and when I got this sentiment from Paulette at TLC, immediately I thought of her, and had to make her a card for her first day of school to wish her well and give her a little chuckle at the same time.


The sentiment from TLC is included in a new set called Ready To Learn, which you can find by clicking here.  I took this adorable little girl from Bugaboo Stamps and merged her with this awesome mushroom freebie from Stamp Fairy to create the scene.  The bumps on the smaller mushroom were hand doodled with my Copic Multi-Liner.

My daughter caught me coloring her up (which was sooo much fun!) and absolutely loved the two images together, not realizing that I would be making a card for her with it.  I can't wait to see her face when I give it to her!!

    Very cute! My daughter loves science. She's going into 5th grade. I'm hoping they do a science fair this year so she can do a project for it.

    Adorable Sara. Love how you colored it and that sentiment is too cute...I am not a fungus person, no mushrooms for me! Unless they go on a card!

    Sara, this is adorable and it totally cracked me up. I am sure she is going to love it. I like the added doodles on the small mushroom, and how you did the sand/ground underneath.
