Back to School with Harry!!!

Hey! It's Wednesday already! How cool is that?! :)

I have a lil postcard to share with you today!

First, I'd like to mention that I would like to enter my lil postcard to the following challenges:

- Pixie Dust Studio Challenge #38: "Back to School"

- The Pink Elephant Challenge #83: "Back to School"

- Allsorts Challenges Week #68: "New Beginnings"

- Crazy 4 Challenges #53: Book Related

- Our Creative Corner ABCs and 123s: Use Letters and/or Numbers

- Fussy and Fancy Challenge #18: "Back to School"

I made this to slip into Nicky's lunchbox yesterday - a little note to let him know that we were thinking of him, a lil encouragement to get help him get thru the rest of his day and wishing him the best for first day of school ever ;)

He loves anything to do with Harry Potter! (Even though I haven't let them watch all the movies yet! Just the first 2!) I knew that Harry would be the best way to go... plus, it's small enough to use as a bookmark too ;)

.... sigh... I know, I have such bad handwriting! lol! But it's mine, and I know that he'll appreciate it more rather than seeing something from the printer ;)

These delish school-ish papers are Bo Bunny's "Learning Curve" Cut Outs and my (actually, lil sis') EK Success border punch and The Paper Studio's sentiment stamp!

No embellies, he doesn't like any kind of ribbon on his cards, lol! and I didn't want to make it any thicker than the layers that are on there already...

You can find Harry Potter and his friends from Hogwarts
at the Pixie Dust Studio HERE!!!

Thanks so much for looking! Have a fab day :)

See you tomorrow for a fun-filled day of challenges!!!

From the owner of StampInsanity Stamps, Beth:

"Katie for a Cure is a very special set I designed to honor my cousin Kate, who earlier this year, at age 33, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Kate is the picture of health and vitality, and her spirit is magical. She has two very young children, and is in the prime of her life – which makes her diagnosis all the more distressing. As only Katie can, she is fighting this disease with the strength and grace of a pure champion. Her story is sadly not unique, but this is my Katie, and I had to do something. It is tragic, but I am sure that my family is not the only one to have this disease repeatedly rearing its head at us. It is my hope that together we will raise a donation that we can all be proud of. And if nothing else, Kate will get a smile from all the beautiful cards that you share with us. Thank you all in advance for your donations and your creations!"

This image and set for Katie and Breast Cancer is fabulous, you can tell that a lot of love went into creating this set :) I really wanted to give my card a StampInsanity feel to it...

So, I pulled out some of my horded stash of Sassafras Lass DP and Papertrey Ink CS; added a doilie and May Arts Ribbon, some bling from Recollections and used up every single Pink-colored Copics that I own :)

I hope Beth, Katie and all of you likey as much as I do :)
