I've used two of my new Magnolia school stamps. Edwin with glasses and the desk. The blackboard and book shelf I got from the Mekka and I can't remember who made them, sorry. I used a black piece of card for the board and wrote on the words with a white signo pen. All the images have been coloured in with promarkers. The light blue border was made with a cuttlebug embossing folder and the letters and numbers were cut with my Cricut.

Stamps:- Magnolia

Papers:- g.c.d studio "schooled" papers

Cricut: cartridge - Plantin Schoolbook

The cost of my card works out as follows...

Blank card - Papermill megabox - 2p a sheet

Letters & Numbers - 50p a sheet -1/8 sheet - 12 1/2p

White card - 2p a sheet 1/4 sheet - 1/2p
