For my card tonight,I used the new à  la mode The Rainbow Will Come. I stamped her on X-Press It Blending Card, and some MME On the Bright Side 1 paper. I paper pieced her boots, umbrella, and jacket, and then colored the rest with Copics. She was layered with Baja Breeze, Orange Fizz, and Wild Cherry. My background is Sweet Tooth, with more of the MME paper. I used the Retro Rolled Flower Die-namics and a large silver brad from Michael's. My sentiment was added with the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics. My ribbon is White Twill and Maraschino Twine from the Ribbon Carousel.

For the inside, I used more of the same supplies!

Here are the Die-namics I used: 

 Well, that is it for me for now!! Be sure to check out MFT Blog for a full list of designers participating in today's sketch!!

March Creative Challenge-Teacher Appreciation

***Scroll down just a bit for my Ribbon Carousel/Sweet Stamp Shop post***

This month's Creative Challenge from My Favorite Things is Teacher Appreciation!! Let's face it, they deserve it and MFT has LOTS of SUPER CUTE sets to help out!!

We are being featured on the SCS home page, so be sure to head to our SCS Forum for a look at every one's creations !!

When it comes to Teachers, I always think school supplies! Pencils, notebooks, erasers, pens, folders....FUN STUFF!! Not only is it stuff they need, but it puts a more personal touch on them when you decorate them!!

For my post tonight, I went all out...for me, that is! I don't usually get this involved in a project, but I really have a soft spot in my heart for teachers, and I was recently asked to donate to a teacher appreciation dinner, so I am getting a little jumpstart!!

My first project was a card for my special teacher. I used the à la mode set, You Rule. I stamped her on X-Press It blending card, and then colored her with my Copics. She was layered with Bubblegum, Rose Red(SU), and Ocean Mist(PTI). I used the Mini Rolled Rose Die-namics to embellish her a little, and added my sentiment with the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics. For the back ground, I used some Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday paper, and the Notebook Edge Die-namics. My ribbon is from the Ribbon Carousel, and my brads are from Michael's.

For the inside, I used more of the same supplies, and a sentiment from the Clearly Sentimental About Teaching set.

I SWEAR I have seen something like this before, but I couldn't find it anywhere, so I made up my own template for my pencil box. It holds 12 pencils, which I banded together with tape, and then tied some Satin Edged White Grosgrain ribbon from the Ribbon Carousel around longways. I then connected that with some Blossom Twine. The box was made with the same card stock colors and paper as before, and I added some old SU buttons. I added some letters cut out with the By The Letters Die-namics...so FUN!

For the last part of my project, I altered a composition notebook. I used all the same supplies as before, along with another sentiment from the Clearly Sentimental About Teaching set. 

Here are the Die-namics I have used:

Well, that is it for me for now, thanks for stopping by!!

My card for tonight uses a super cute stamp from the Sweet Shop Stamps store, Melvin and Vernie. I stamped my owl on X-Press It blending card, and then colored it with Copics. I then layered him with Fossil, Saffron, and Berrylicious card stock. My paper is from the My Mind's Eye Follow Your Heart-Be Amazing pad. I used the MFT Open Scalloped Doily Die-namics for my background, and the Scalloped Ribbon Die-namics for the stip across. My sentiment was punched out with SU punches. I used Michael's brads, and Creative Express Spiral Clip. The ribbon I used is Jute Twine, and  Primrose Vintage Seam Binding, both from the Ribbon Carousel.
