I have had a very frustrating day today as well as the pain and fuzzy head.  Took four hours trying to sort out problems with my laptop.  Had to reset it which meant I lost my Microsoft Office programs.   Have to wait till I see Lynda on Friday to help me load them again except Publisher which I found the disc and was able to download Publisher.

I managed to finish one card today using the lovely freebie from the Cute as a Button facebook group (I coloured the image yesterday)
and which I am joining in the challenge to say thank you for the freebie.

The challenge is on the facebook group
https://www.facebook.com/groups/CuteAsAButtonDigiStamps/

Lacy Sunshine 66 - back to school

Challenge 66 at Lacy Sunshine is back to school
http://lacysunshinechallengeblog.blogspot.com.au/
Each challenge if you use a Lacy Sunshine stamp you can request the free image for the next challenge.
The free image for this challenge is Eleanor and Pickles back to school.  If you didn't join in the last challenge you can buy this digi at a special price at http://lacysunshine.weebly.com/  (scroll down on the home page to the challenge digi)

I have printed the Lacy Sunshine stamp onto white card and coloured with markers.   Added sentiment from Create with TLC and layered all onto red card.
I didn't add any embellishments as I wanted to enter a clean and simple challenge.
