The Sugar Bowl Challenge 67

Good morning everyone, sorry I'm so late with my Sugar Bowl Challenge Card. But here it is! With the new year of school starting (I'm a Year 3 Teacher for all those who didn't know) Us teachers need all the luck we can get. Parents find it so hard when their children start a new school, the children can find it difficult to settle, and we, as teachers find it very stressful. I'm getting to know 30 children this year, and already it has been a mix of emotions already.

So I am dedicating this card to all the Teachers going back to school this week. I did actually send it to our new NQT Teacher that started with us, she loved it.

The challenge was a fabulous sketch by Erika

and the Theme is "Use up your scraps"

Believe it or not the Strips behind the circle mat where scraps I had to hide all the gaps behind things, its quite a good way of using all those bits you just can't bare to throw away.

The image is from the Simply Sassy Range and is available from Funky Kits
she is called "I Love to Read"

I hope you like,

One lucky person, chosen at random, will win their pick of 4 Sugar Nellie stamps or if our entries reach over 100 you can choose 6 stamps!

Make sure you check out all the other inspiration over at The Sugar Bowl there are some uber talented ladies sharing what they do.

Have a lovely day
