An Apple for the Teacher

Hi there.

A quick post and a very simple card tonight. I wanted to make a note card to give to my daughter's teacher to thank him for his teaching and caring during the first semester. She did very well and loves going to school, so I wanted to let him know we appreciate what he does. Since she has a male teacher I wanted something CAS.

I have taken a torn piece of Newsprint DSP and have used the spiral punch down the side, to make it look like it has been torn out of a notebook.

The sentiment is from the So Happy For You set, and the apple if from Tart and Tangy. I have covered the apple in crystal effects to give it some shine, and have popped it up on some dimensionals.

The inside is very simple. I have used a quote from the Occasional Quotes set, that I thought was very appropriate for a teacher. I also stamped another apple in the corner.

This fits in well with this weeks challenge over at The Paper Players, School Daze.

Thanks for looking, hope you have a great weekend!

Please leave me a comment, I just love to hear from you.

Buttons & Bows for Monkey Challenge 65

This week over at A La Card Monkey. The challenge is a sketch with a touch of buttons and bows.

I used the cherry image from Tart and Tangy and added some red buttons to the end of the stalks to make the cherries. I then added some crystal effects to the tops of the buttons to give them a richer, glossier look.

For the background I used the Polka Dot Embossing folder, but I stuck the piece of card on, with the bumps facing down, to give a more subtle effect.

I finished it off with some red and white polka dot ribbon and a seam binding and red ribbon bow, with a touch of bling!

I found the perfect sentiment for the inside in the Goody-Goody Gumdrops set, which I won over at A La Card Monkey! (Thanks Girls!)
