We’ve had some big beginnings in our house this fall. Our youngest son started high school, our middle son started University and our oldest daughter is a brand new 3rd Grade teacher! We’re so grateful for good starts for each of them. With Power Poppy’s new September Challenge called Hit the Books, hosted by the lovely Katie, I thought it would be fun to have a back to school vibe in my card.
I pulled out the adorable set from Power Poppy called Well Played. Even though it’s got a big of a beachy theme, I think that back-pack is perfect for back to school, hitting the books! I did this one up for one of my niece’s birthday, but looking at it now, I think I could also use it as a fun card for my new teacher-daughter!
Some fun colours in aqua blues and reds, which is always a fun combination.
I’ve added some fun hearts, sequins, sewing, wood veneer arrow and enamel dots to accent.
Here’s the inside - and its why I also think it would make a great card for our daughter too. I think every teacher would be encouraged by that!
It’s such a fun theme this month to be inspired by anything related to books, and if you play along you could win a $50 gift code to the Power Poppy store! We’ve got so much great stuff to show you this month in the new release. You’re going to love it!

A fabulous and fun creation, Christine, and perfect for any back-to-school girl, including a teacher. Love all the different elements in the design to go with the awesome stamp and sentiments. Lots of new starts for your family this year!
