Back to School



Today's Challenge at Make My Monday was chosen by Amy and she has chosen the theme"Back to School". I have used  several elements from a free collage sheet from Far Far Hill. The bus is decoupaged but that isn't evident in the photo. When my husband retired he wasn't happy not to be doing anything so for the last 8 years has been driving the local school bus, his first bus was yellow like this one, but it's a white one now. When the p 7's move on to Grammar school, he likes to give them a card wishing them luck.

 Pop over to the Challenge Blog for some inspiration and see the fabulous makes there.

That’s nice of your hubby. School buses in Norway don’t look anything like this, I wish they did, there’s something a bit nostalgic and cosy about these yellow buses. Great card!

Hi Meg,
what a very super card and such a very fab image too.
Such a very great design too.
Isn't it funny how some people can't stand to do nothing.
My BIL retired and drove a bus for the Blind to occupy his time.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
