WT232 & CT0809 - Teacher Thanks

I made this card for both WT232 - to get warm and fuzzy...use something fuzzy on you card, and CT0809 - the dirty girls over on SCS are getting ready to go back to the drawing board (going back to school!!)

My DD started full day Kindergarten last week, and her teacher is just sooo awesome! Get this! My DD goes to the same parochial grade school that I did (K-8th grade). Her Kindergarten teacher started teaching there when I was in 7th grade! How crazy is that...she truly is an amazing teacher, her love for the kids shows every day, so I wanted to make her a thank you card for just being her...and going the extra mile each day!

I chose this wonderful African Daisy image from this month's Innovative Stamp Creation's release. I colored it with some Adirondack pigment pens, and for the centers I added some yellow fun flock for the fuzzy portion of my card.

The DP is some Making Memories Ledger card stock. I punched the left side with my bind-it-all and then trimmed each of the punches to make it look like it has been ripped out of a note pad. All of the edges have been distressed with my Tim Holtz distressing tool, and some scattered straw ranger distress ink.

To finish off the card, I added the sentiment layered on deckle nestabilities, some gold ribbon, and a Tim Holtz trinket pin.

Thanks so much for visiting today! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See??

I made this little card for a friend of mine who is having a little girl in a few months. Her shower is book themed, and each person received a book title in their invitation to use as inspiration for the baby gift. As you can probably guess, my book title was "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See?"

So I though this bear from Under the Stars would work perfectly, as long I as I put together the right sentiment. So, I used the "hugs and wishes" from the Birthday Hugs and Wishes stamp in the Hugs and Wishes set, and then added the sweet and baby from fancy flexible phrases.

The image is colored with copic markers, and his tummy is fuzzy from some brown fun flock. I used an embossing folder for the he top of the background panel, and the DSP is from SU's Parisian Summer. To finish it off I added some 1 1/4" Pink Pirouette Ribbon, and surrounded the sentiment with a designer label styled silver hodgepodge hardware piece and some pink brads.

I hope she likes it! I am looking forward to her shower this afternoon!
