I tried, but I couldn't resist showing you one of the new sets from Kitchen Sink Stamps the night before the release. Here's a card I made using the new School Days set for today's sketch challenge on SCS.

I stamped the four step apple image first, then masked the apple to stamp the three step book image. I stamped the image on a piece of patterned paper that looks like old-school notebook paper, then punched the left edge with the spiral punch. To me, the images in this school set just call out for that punch!

I paired the stamped apple image with apple patterned paper from SU!'s Summer Picnic pack for the next panel. The final panel (or, I guess, the first if you're being exact about the order I put them on the card--I worked backwards when I was creating this card) is a dotted piece of Kiwi Kiss paper to coordinate with the tiny bit of green in the apple's leaf.

Stop back tomorrow morning to see some more cards using this set--and for more details on Kitchen Sink's birthday events.
