Hey Y'all!
It is great to be back with the Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop crew, a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world sharing our love of crafting with you. Our theme this month is "Back to School," so I created a card that has elements that remind me of my school days.
I loved cleaning the chalkboard...don't ask me why! My best friend and I would stay in from recess and use these gigantic sponges and a bucket of water and clean off all the chalk residue. This card brings back so many memories...we won't say how long ago that was!
A school themed project has to include an apple, right? I altered the large peach image from "Sweet As A Peach" and, Voila! I created the book stack with 1/4" strips in varying lengths, then added the black lines with a Stampin' Write Marker. The ABC letters were die cut with the Playful Alphabet dies.
I used sentiments from 2 stamp sets, Hydrangea Haven and In Your Words. This stamp can only be earned during Saleabration...it is FREE when you purchase $300 or more (or collect orders in that amount.) I made this with a teacher in mind, to remind them they DO make a difference. I love to hear stories of how a teacher made a difference in a child’s life…you can read a great one HERE or another one HERE. And I believe we as card makers make a difference, too, as we send our projects to encourage others. You never know how many ripples will be made from a single action, we just have to pick up the rock and throw it in the water, so to speak.
I call this card a $100 card, because it takes that much or more in product to make it. That is why I became a demonstrator, to be a "Discount Shopper!" Scroll down to see how you can join my team and be a discount shopper yourself. There is no better time to join than during Saleabration, but hurry! It ends September 30th.
