Hello my friends! Are you starting a great week? I hope mine is good. Last Saturday I had a little accident, I fell down outside while watering my yard. I stepped on wet soil and I went down the hill like skiing, my back got all the impact and I've been in so much pain, hopefully I am feeling better today, my back still sore, but I can walk better.

Anyways, today I am hosting a challenge over at StampTV and I hope you can play along too! The challenge is all about school, anything school related.

This is the card I made for Mix it Up Monday Challenge.

The sentiment and image are from Falling For you StampTV Kit and the numbers are from Perfect Pennants.

Hope you like it!
Have a great day!!
