Re: AUGUST Challenge - Back to School!
Here is my entry!
OK, so I tried to come up with something for back to school. My mind started going toward school supplies. Originally I was going to make a folder, but I ended up making a cover for a 3-ring binder instead.
Then came the hard part, trying to come up with the theme. Going along with the back to school again, I started thinking of the games that I used to play in school. My favorite was always Oregon Trail. So, I got the sprites that I could, came up with a pattern, and here is the finished product: an original Oregon Trail binder cover!
The Front
The Back
The full spread
Inner flap

Re: AUGUST Challenge - Back to School!
A binder cover is a pretty cool idea. I never thought of that before. I spent many of my elementary school years playing Oregon Trail.

Re: AUGUST Challenge - Back to School!
Oh my goodness!
Last night I came up with the perfect idea for the Life Lessons theme we have. I have made a pattern and will have to stitch like mad to finish it in time, but it is awesome! I can't wait to share it with everyone!

Re: AUGUST Challenge - Back to School!
I just got an idea for this challenge! I should be able to stitch it up really quickly, though. This will be my first entry in a real challenge and not just a swap.
