New School Year

This is my inspiration post for Cute As a Button.

This is Hipster Emelie and what a perfect time to be working on back to school cards! lol I've a heap of nephews and nieces going back to school or starting college. This came in super handy for me. 

I colored the image with Copic markers and a silver gel pen. The notebook paper is from my stash. I made the little 'school books' from scraps and hand wrote the 'titles' of the books on the 'spines'. The apples are from Favorite Recipes stamp set at Raisin Boat. Button is from a jar of buttons I found at Hobby Lobby. This particular twine is discontinued from Whisker Graphics but they've lots of other great products. It originally was from the Divine Twine Twists collection and, if I remember correctly, it was called Air Mail.
