Magnolia-Licious Challenge - Kraft Paper

It's time for a new challenge at Magnolia-Licious and we have a good theme for you, we want to see you use Kraft Paper. I used mine as the base for the card and also stamped my images on it. Copic Markers look very different on Kraft and I though an autumnal palette would be a great choice for this style of coloring.

"More Than One Score at Scor-Pal" Challenge - Back to School

A new month means a new challenge at More Than One Score at Scor-Pal and this time we are looking for your "Back to School" themed projects.
You make an "Anything But a Card", a card with a fancy fold, anything as long as it has more than a single score and that you let us know where you used your Scor-Pal in the project.

I based mine on project for a Book inspired desk organizer that I had pinned months ago and while I changed the way it was made the concept is pretty much the same. Now what teacher wouldn't love this on their desks to help with the clutter?

Challenges:
That Craft Place - Mixed Media
we Love 2 Create - Mixed Media
Simply Papercrafts - Anything Goes (3 entries only)
PDE Linky Party - Anything Goes
Jo's Scrap Shack - Anything Goes (3 entries only)
Crafting With Friends - Anything Goes (3 entries only)
Hiding in my Craftroom - Anything Goes
Amusing Challenges - Anything Goes
613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes

Project Recipe:
Scoring Tool - Scor-Pal
Adhesive - Scor-Tape
Stickers - Deluxe Designs
Paper - Basic Grey Recess
Chalk Ink - Prima

,br/>

Now I used Scor-Tape on this project and I can't think of using anything else as these are some stiff curves that need a very strong adhesive to keep them together so don't think of skimping and using another type of tape as you will be disappointed.
I hope you enjoyed this and that you will create your own Back to School project for the More Than One Score at Scor-Pal challenge and Good Luck!
