Back to School

If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers. ~E. W. Howe (1853–1937), Country Town Sayings: A Collection of Paragraphs from The Atchison Globe, 1911

Good morning!

Not often that I release two post in one day, but thats how it worked out for today! 

This time I am sharing a card I made with a new set of images being released today by Sherry West Art!

These adorable back to school animals are so dang cute and you have your choice of quite a few different critters!

For my card I created a background using all her images, printed it out and cut to size. I even have a bit left over for a couple more cards.

I chose to use the dog, one of the cats, the pig and the dinosaur (because why not) and colored then with my ProMarkers.

I don’t have any littles in school but my Sister-in-law is an elementary teacher so I think I will send this to her since school is back in session!
