Today was the teacher appreciation lunch at my chidren's school. Some of the parents "made"(I volunteered the veggie plate-thank you Save-on- Foods LOL) different dishes for the the staff to enjoy. So I thought they also deserved a card to let them know how much we as parents appreciate all they do through out the school year.
I just received my Define Your Life set that I earned for FREE (another perk of being a demo!) and had to put it to use right a way. I really felt the Inspire definition fit the occasion as I know how certain teacher have really influenced my kids.This card came together suprisingly quick and I am actually very pleased with the way it turned out. For the base I used 4 1/4 x 11 Chocolate Chip cardstock folded in half and pulled out the retired Summer Pinic DSP. I then layered on a 3 x 4 1/4 of the patterned paper along with Old Olive grosgrain rbbon. The sentiment was stamped on Whiper White in Choc. Chip ink and then the edges were sponged with Creamy Caramel. I just love the little mini library clips and this Old Olive one helps to tie everything together. I also stamped the apple from Tart and Tangy that was coloured in with markers and punched out. For the inside I used a stamp from the set Full of Life and coloured the words also with markers. Would love to hear what you think!
