Summer is so short lived in Wyoming. The days are already getting shorter and the start of school is a definite sign that summer has come to an end. In the spirit of school starting back in session, Claire is hosting a CAS Back to School themed challenge at The Paper Players!
Kudos to all the teachers out there and to all the parents who have become home school teachers! Challenging times for everyone. I greatly admire those with the patience to choose teaching as a profession. In keeping with the CAS theme, I let the Teacher’s Pet paper pad by Echo Park do all the work for me! My base is a subtle print from the pack with tons of equations. I matted the sentiment panel with Twilight cardstock and added a few bitty banners in Saffron and Twilight. My sentiment panel is applied with 3-D foam tape for added dimension. A few enamel dots complete the card.
All supplies by Close To My Heart, except where noted:

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Awesome card! I love how the sentiment is the focus!
What a great CAS card…I admire teachers too, they have way more patience than I would have!!! I love the colors you chose too!
Allisa, this is fabulous! That sentiment touches my heart, too! The color combo is so pretty and those banners are perfect to draw your eye to the sentiment! Thank you for making my challenge shine! Have a great week, My Friend!
Really love that large sentiment Allisa and the way you've embellished it simply with enamel dots. It's going to be a weird return to school for so many this year – and not at all for many others :/

A beautiful card and lovely sentiment! Love your designs, Allisa!
Allisa, this is such a fabulous card! I love how that bold and oh-so-true sentiment is the star of the card. Gorgeous!
Such a beautiful card, Allisa! I love the bright and cheery color combo and that little banner trio is such a fun detail.
Wow – those papers were just made for this challenge! And you pulled them together perfectly. I love your card! 🙂
Allisa, this is SO true. I still remember some of my junior and high school teachers. They so instilled in me a live-long love of learning. I wish they were alive that I could send them THIS card. Fabulous take on the challenge this week

It doesn't get any better than this sentiment, Allisa! Every card you make is amazing!!!
Allisa those papers are just perfect – such a lovely focal sentiment for a CAS back to school card. Love the yellow and blue combo too – bright and sunny!
