With all the prep work for school, I've done zero crafting, so I thought I'd share a publication reject. This one was submitted to CardMaker magazine. 
The editors prefer cards that are decorated inside and out, so here's the little detail I added to the inside of the card. What do you think?Stamps: On My Couch, On My Couch Additions (Papertrey Ink)
Paper: Basic Gray, Bashful Blue, Cameo Coral (Stampin' Up!); Stamper's Select white (Papertrey Ink)
Ink: Basic Gray, Cameo Coral (Stampin' Up!)
Accessories: scalloped edge punch (Stampin' Up!), ribbon (Stampin' Up!), button (Papertrey Ink), pearls (Kaisercraft), Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder

Awwww Anne, I will miss your daily updates. I love your fresh ideas. This card is adorable. I can't wait to get my hands on this stamp set. I'll be able to do so much with it.
Good luck with school. We still have a few more weeks of summer freedom here in BC, Canada.
I think it is great Ann! Love the layout and colors!
I think your card is great.
We are going to miss you, not seeing you every day. I hope the children behave for you :)
Take care xx

Personally, I just love the embossed, raised, polkas on the cardstock, mirroring the negative space stamped polkas on the couch!! And the girl talk? TOO CUTE!
What grade do you teach? Open house on the first night? Our Open House/Back to School Night is in a week. My son goes back to school on Thursday, but we are going in to meet his teacher tomorrow (just for him, not open to his whole class). He had the most FANTASTIC teacher last year and has made his school experience and education such a positive experience (as it should be). And I am so Grateful to all of the wonderful teachers that are there to educate our kidlets. :>
Glad you were able to get crafty this summer and of course, will continue to pop by to see what you are up to! :> Have a Great first day of class!!
Good luck today Ann!
This card is so pretty, I love it. You always know the right colours to use.

Good luck Ann, must be a busy week! But I think your card is lovely!
This is beautiful!
I love the card! I feel your pain with starting school as I'm a teacher as well. I manage to do a little blog surfing early in the morning because I choose to get up earlier and I get some done in the evening.
Good luck today!! I love the card, so sweet!
Fabulous card and love the inside too.
I can't believe that this was rejected!! I love it! The little couch is too dang cute and the inside is perfect. They missed a great opportunity on this one! Hope your first day goes well :)
I like your card, the sentiment inside is too cute. Good luck this school year!
Loving this little number Ann! I'd say Cardmakers Magazine were crazy to pass up on this - I love the colours and layout and who could say no to those adorable On My Couch stamps?!?
Good luck with your first day!

Love the card and the layout is fab! Hope you have a wonderful first day of school! Sure will miss you around here, I'll miss visiting you daily and your wonderful comments!
well, I think it is a fantabulous card Ann!!!!
It is an adorable card! In a couple of weeks I'll be swamped like you, we start September 8th.
I love that, your couch or mine. I hear ya on starting school. I can't imagine how I will keep up with all the sketches and daily postings I've come to enjoy this summer...but it was a good chance to practice posting more quickly. I am always exhausted during the first month with all the talking and thinking that I didn't have to do in the summer!!
cute! don't you love that PTI set :D
This is super cute! Good luck today!!
what a little beauty.
Such a cute sentiment....
Love this card! Don't feel bad for not posting everyday... we know life goes on and we'll be standing behind you!! SMILES... :)
I love this card - I ordered this set inspired by your use of it - just waiting......... for it to arrive!

Cute card!

Love your card, and good luck with your busy school week!
I think the sentiments are so fun. What a cute card. I can't believe the magazine wants decorated insides. I guess I haven't read any card magazines lately because I don't remember them showing the insides, just the fronts.
Happy Back to School!
Very cute! I love the colors!
Well, IIIIIII would've accepted it! I think it's perfect!
Allready school? We have two more weeks. :)
BTW: Nice card. :)
Super, super cute. What a fun sentiment!
Hope your first day back is a true pleasure!!! Love the card!
I think this card is beautiful!! Love your eye for colors! Seriously, I'm eyeing at your ribbon!
Well if you are mounting some kind of march or riot- let me know I'll fit it in. :) This card is GREAT, and I like what you added to the inside. But you know what? I prefer to make cards with nothing in the inside. But I'm a rebel I guess.
Really cute card! Good luck at school!
Super cute! :) Hope your first day/week goes well!
Ehh, what do they know anyway? I like your card just as it is! Have fun this school year!
Love the inside detail! Love the outside too, great colors. Good luck with your school year!
What a commfy place to chat with a friend! Great card and diffrent color choice!
I love it! Their loss. Keep plugging away. You never know.
