Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge 16 : All about the office supplies!

It's time for another challenge at 

School is back in session and this challenge celebrates all that you need to buy for the occasion:

Challenge 16
                                               Who Loves School and Office Supplies?
Most paper crafters also love school and office supplies. We love crayons, markers, shaped paperclips, notepads, folders, and more! If you hoard school and office products, get them out! Use them up! Use at least one item that is really a school or office supply on your project.


I created my piece on a large shipping tag found at the chain office supply store.
The background was created using a combination of tissue paper, Modeling paste, Lindy's Stamp Gang mists and Modeling Paste with a stencil.
The image is another Crafty Secrets collage image, layered over a piece of burlap from Canvas Corp.

The flowers were stamped on some gelli printed deli paper, 
stamped with the Posy Patch Flowers set from Heartfelt Creations and then fussy cut out.
I added some circle hole reinforcers which I also colored with Lindy's and stamped on.
My final school supply is a paper clip with the number charm on it.

Supplies:
Tag
Crafty Secrets collage image
Heartfelt Creations stamp set
Burlap
Lindy's Stamp Gang mist
Modeling Paste
stencil

 Lindy’s Stamp Gang
Lindy's luscious luster is all uniquely two-toned! With vibrant shimmery sprays, flat sprays, vintage sprays, embossing powder and lots more!

Lindy’s Stamp Gang is the creative” baby” of Lindy Plakinger. She passed away in 2008 after bravely battling illness. She was a self-made cartoonist, loved drawing, crafting, designing new products, and creating her funny cartoon characters! One of her greatest joys was traveling to stamping and scrapbooking conventions across the US, demo-ing to her heart’s content with her sister, and giggle partner, Vicki!

Lindy’s Stamp Gang will continue, as was her hope, and dream. Her husband and daughter have taken over the company keeping her creativity alive. Tracey, (her daughter), has always been a “jar filler” in the background of Lindy’s Stamp Gang, but is now trying to fill some incredible shoes!

As always, your mixed media techniques blow me away. I love the addition of the burlap! Perfect!

I know that it is weird, but I honestly love office/school supplies! I always tell myself that it will help to simplify my life, make something easier, etc. The coolest thing I think (at least for the moment) are those stamps you can have made to be your signature. Call me lazy, but I hate signing my name on every little thing and this is a nice little time saver.
