Inky Impressions Backpack

Good Morning!! I hope everyone has had a good beginning to your day. Today proves to be a crazy one for me. On top of piano lessons, home schooling, and babysitting early afternoon and evening for a friends' daughter, I have my first practice for Heaven's Harmony (singing group with a small group of women at our church). I am looking forward to going since I love music and it is the one time I have away from home, but it will be a long day ending at 9:30 p.m. Oh well, as my mom puts it. You have all day!

Yesterday, I shared a backpack(TLC232) I made for my daughter, Meghan, as a kick off for school and for the Stampin Sisters in Christ blog (to create a school related creation for your child or children). Today I would like to share the backpack I made for my daughter, Nicki! The color challenge (CC235) with elegant eggplant, only olive, and black worked out perfectly since Nicki is my purple girl. She LOVES purple!!

I plan to give this to my daughter with a gift card in it to use on a "school outfit". Since I home school my girls, they never had the chance to go "school shopping".

Since I didn't want the backpacks to look exactly the same, I changed my stamp on Nicki's. The image is created using an Inky Impressions stamp- Lili's Prayer.

Stamps- Inky Impressions- Lily's Prayer
Paper- Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive, Black, BG Wisteria, SU Cottage Wall
Embellishments- button, nestabilities, black ribbon, craft hemp, eyelets

The template for this box is found in the resource section at Splitcoaststampers under Backpack box.
