Can You Case It Challenge #83

Hello crafty friends!  Today I am sharing a card I am entering into CYCI #83 over on the can you case it blog.  This is a back to school challenge where you create a card with a back to school theme.  I really enjoy participating in challenges.  I think they really improve my card making skills.  This is my first time participating in this weekly, paper challenge.  You should go take a look and participate too.  Let me know what you think...I look forward to your comments.  Supply list follows pictures.
