back-to-school card

Do you have children going back to school? We have
two in high school, but since we homeschool, there
isn't much "back" to it. The oldest son, however,
is in his last year of college, so will be leaving
for the dorm again soon.



The latest challenge at Gingersnap Creations is a
Tribute to Teens, so this seemed a fitting something
to send to the eldest--that serious looking fellow
on the front, he's been the object of my artistic
affection for some time now. I've returned to him
more than once for projects now and again! (Check
out THIS POST.)

The doodled words seem the perfect foil for his
expression, don't they? That cute digi is from The
Stamping Boutique
, who is kindly hosting the challenges
with some fun prizes this month at Gingersnap.

So, I'm thinking the inside of the card should say
something like:

At least it's not finals week!

What do you think?
