On August 1st, My Favorite Things will be releasing 4 new sets. All of them are very different from each other and all of them are great fun to work with. The mini set that I am featuring today is called BACK TO SCHOOL, and as you may have guessed, features all school items.

I tried to create different types of samples so that you can see that this is a very versatile set. Although not shown, it would make wonderful stationary to give as a teacher gift.
The first of my samples is a card and features the famous {infamous??} headless woman, whom I colored with my very brand spankin’ new Copic marker {I need a little training still}. The chalkboard is stamped in Garden Green and the words are embossed. The apple is on a dimensional for little extra “pop.” You can click on the thumbnail to get a close up of the details.


The second project I have done using this set is a scrapbook page. As several of you already know, I do not have school age children, hence the missing picture and journaling {Use imagination here}. I, admittedly, am not a super scrapper…can you tell?? LOL! However, I would like to think this shows that this set can be used for more than just cute cards.
Again, you can click on the thumbnail to get a detail of the border {this is really just me playing with my camera}.


Last, but not least, I have done a bag tag for a teacher. As a {former} teacher, I know firsthand that a huge bag to carry work home is pretty much a basic necessity. Why not dress it up a little? I think this would be a real cute gift and can easily be personalized on the reverse side. The tag holder is actually a badge holder purchased in the office supply section of Wal-Mart.

***Stayed tuned for more great MFT stamp set sneak peaks***
P.S.~You really want to be here on TUESDAY {the 31st!}. Hint: Taylor and I have something up our sleeves again.
