We are still a bi-weekly challenge blog, but the biggest change we made is that you can now use ANY stamped image!!! You have to use a hand-colored image on your project though! No "sentiment only" cards allowed. However, if you use a Y&FH image your name will be added a maximum of 1 extra time after the last name in Inlinkz. Remember also....only 1 entry per person. :)

What's up for grabs? The winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to the Yumi & Fumi Handmade online store. Our Top 3 will receive a 10% discount code to be used in the Yumi & FumiHandmade online store. AWESOME!!

Now on to Challenge #23! This challenge for the next two weeks is: 

BACK TO SCHOOL!

For many of us in the U.S., this time of year means getting ready for school. Some schools start back early in August and some are just now getting back to the grind. My little guy started last Monday and let me tell ya, that first week, was a doozie!! He and I are not morning people!!

For my card today I used the adorable Fumi with Bear Backpack. She's such a cutie and totally reminds me of my friend's daughter Sadie!! 

Copics:
Skin: E000. E00, E01, E02, E11
Eyes: E43, E44
Hair: E44, E47, E49
Red: R22, R24, R27, R29
Black: C3, C5, C7, Black, Stickles
Bear: E42, E43, E44

I decided to make an 8x8 wall hanging. I used some school dps from DCWV The Grade School Pack 8x8 paper pad. I did add some stickles to the letters on the tree and also to the words, Back to School just to bling it up a bit. The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby.

Here's a closer view. I raised the sentiment and Fumi on pop-dots.

We hope you will join in our "Back to School" challenge using ANY image you like! We can't wait to see what you make!! Remember, only 1 entry per person. You have until Friday, September 13th to join in our challenge. We'll announce the winner and top 3 picks on Saturday, September 14th!

Good Luck everyone!!

Hugs!
