Not cards we use here in England

Over here in England making back to school cards is something we just don't do. However many of the card challenges on various American websites, around the first week in September, ask you to make these type of cards. Now I don't know whether they are for the children to give to their teachers, or, whether they give them to fellow students? Maybe someone will tell me LOL.
This particular design uses stamps from Uptown Rubber Stamps (clock), pen from(Posh Impressions) and apples from ( A stamp in the hand).
The background paper is from K & Company.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:

I think the Mums pack them in the lunch boxes for a cheery surprise to the year! LOL Love your take on Back to School - now what are you going to do with it!

I'm not certain what you do with Back to School cards either. When my DD was in school, I was too busy working to worry about card making (didn't know about it either!). It was all I could manage to get cupcakes sent for the class parties! :-) Love your take on this theme, and you did a wonderful job combining the different elements to make this sparkling one. TFS
