RING, RING! School Spirit is now in session! Our designers have been happily playing along with the rulers, pencils, numbers and alphas that predominate our first ever school collection. As we already showed you yesterday, Christine created the cutest of mini albums from School Spirit. Today, it'll be our CP Girls, Heidi Sonboul & Mou Saha, who'll be presenting us with their "art projects" from the collection. To coincide with them, we're offering up one more giveaway for you before we leave for Chicago! We've yet to give this collection away, so of course, it's today's grand prize! What are the academic requirements to win the collection? How about a 4.0 GPA and a perfect school attendance record? Actually, all that's required to win is to tell us your favorite school moment - yes, you're going to have to think back to the good ol' days, whether in college or high school, as there's always one or two stories we never forget. Tell us the story and we'll sign you up to win the School Spirit collection! We'll announce our WINNER Sunday evening! Hurry, you only have two days before the session closes - Good Luck!!
A hand-trimmed apple is the focus of Heidi Sonboul's oh-so-smart card!! Trimmed from the backside of our "Grade Card" pattern paper, it's bound to bring a lil' cheer to the teacher who'll receive it the first day of school! It's perfectly adorable!
Our official last project is markedly Mou Saha's as it has the classic clean lines that she's so well known for as a contributor of Creating Keepsakes magazine. Behind the assortment of carefully positioned pattern papers are creative, non-conventional ways to play with our School Spirit chipboard accents including the pencil turned arrow above. Very clever!
Don't forget to leave a comment before you leave today to earn at chance at winning the School Spirit collection! We'll assess your comments over the weekend and hand out grades on Sunday! The person with a perfect score, WINS!
Such a areat collection, such a great projects!

I think my greatest memory is when my friend, who is/was quite shy, and had a crush on someone, took his shoe and threw it in the garbage can in health class and got caught doing it as the teacher came in the room. The look on her face was priceless!

My favorite school moments were the many days of EXTREME laughter in the cafeteria in college with my closest friends and my now Husband!

I adored my third grade teacher......she was so smart & so pretty. And she loved the Kentucky Derby! No one particular moment, but that was a great year!~

My fave school moment happened as a teacher. I got a letter from a student I had taught in kinder (5 years previously), and she was doing a paper about her favorite teacher she'd ever had, and she picked me. I love this collection so much!

My favorite school moment was my senior year of high school when I met my husband-to-be. We have been together everyday since, going on 10 years! LOVE the new collection!

my favorite school moment was in the 4th grade.We were in reading groups and the mean boy in our class dared me to kick him as hard as I could. Well I did, and he started crying and told on me. I did get in trouble but it was worth it to kick that mean boy with all my might. He never spoke a word to me ever again.
I love this collection BTW. When you guys peeked it, I seriously gasped out loud!

Hard to pick one moment out of many years of schooling! One of the more recent satisfactions was filing my first patent.

My favorite school moment was probably when I read a book (with a LOT of big words) about skeletons and the human body to my second grade class for show & tell!

My favorite memory from elementary school was picking out school supplies... I couldn't wait to get my hands on a Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper... I could barely sleep the night before we went school shopping... I guess I've always sorta had a problem with collecting art/office supplies.

My favourite school moment was probably getting my final exam results...a couple of the teachers had basically told me I wasn't going to get very good grades so I worked the hardest I have ever worked and proved them so wrong. Seeing their faces on results day was priceless!
