Back to School

Well, it is that time this year - all the kids are going back to school.  I felt a little left out the other day when I was at Wal-mart and I didn't have any school supplies to buy.  In order to feel part of the crowd I bought a new day planner!   "Here is an arch I made for the Gothic Arches'  " Back to School" theme.  Can't you see this little schoolgirl  puzzling over  the "new math"?  Of course, her new math was a great deal different from the new math of today.

For my arch I began with a piece of cardstock on which I did TJ Bleach Swipe technique.  The schoolgirl image is from Graphics Fairy and the numbers she is working out are from a stamp by Artistic Outpost.
