Today's Technique Lovers Challenge was to "Wrap It Around" -- wrap some textured material around an acrylic or wooden block, etc., to make your background. I wrapped some dry wall tape around my acrylic block and stamped it twice. The CAS challenge was "Back to School." My birthday is at the very beginning of September; and, when I was a kid, I knew that "happy birthday" also meant "back to school" for me!
