Back to school

Yes it is that time of year again! Many mothers and grand mamas breath a sigh of relief as children go back to school.
My Scottish grand children start their holidays much earlier than the English children,  so of course they are already back reading and writing. As usual, when they were here visiting during school holidays we took the opportunity to buy them their school uniforms. Living like they do on the Mull of Galloway in a small village, shops that provide school uniforms seem like a million miles away. My eldest grand daughter has also returned to university, so you could say term time as already begun in earnest. In creating this card I used two different corner punches and two different die-cuts. The stamp image is by Bravura Stamps.
I am entering this card for the following challenges

Great little card Joan, that would get any kid off to the right start! I remember the days of going off to school in uniform - wish they still did it. As some of these girls get on the bus, it would be nice if the wore some clothes, let alone a uniform!

This is so cute!!! Luckily, my 3 littles haven't done a whole lot of coloring on the walls, but there have been a few instances. Your image is adorable and great for a back to school card. Thanks for playing with Clearly iStamp.
