It's Word Week at
Just Us Girls and Vicki has chosen the word
I don't really have a lot of school stamps so I had to stretch my brain to come up with something. I remembered a die I bought a long time ago and probably only used once.
The pencil is from PTI and comes as three dies. I cut the wood part from kraft paper that I edged with DI and added the lead with a marker. I printed the sentiments from my computer onto yellow paper, cut them out and glued over the wood. Lastly I added the eraser and metal band. I happened to have the lined paper in my stash. I tried regular writing paper but it was too thin and the adhesive showed through.
The Design Team and our September Guest Designer,
Janet, have a variety of wonderful cards to inspire you based on the challenge word. I hope you'll check them out and then make a card for our gallery. You may have a chance to be our guest if you are chosen Chic of the Week.

Wow Bobby those pencils are so well put together - clever! Like how you made them so bright and how lucky to have the paper with the ever so familiar lines we used when I was at school. Mind you it WAS a long time ago. You nailed this weeks challenge.
Too Fun, I love the way you used your noggin' and printed on yellow card, then cut to size for the pencils!
I love this! Those pencils with the sentiments are so perfect for the start of a new school year. And that notebook paper background is awesome.
What a cool design and I love how you added the yellow paper with printed sentiments - very clever!!!
Fabulous card....simply fabulous and right to the point too!
