Make a Note of It!

Today's challenge at 365 Cards is to incorporate notepaper on your card. Well, I had one more teacher thank you card to make, so I thought this was the perfect challenge. I used American Crafts paper, some ribbon, twine, gem clips and a button from my stash and finished it off with the note paper. The scallop was cut with the Cricut using the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge.

Well, I've done another paper project today that I can't share just yet. (It's for someone's birthday...shhh). I'll share on Wednesday. It's a very rainy day here today, so I'm having a grand time just hanging out and creating in the old craft room. Hope you're having a great Saturday and thanks for stopping by!

Kazan's Sketch #26 and Musical Monday

Kazan gives us another fab sketch today at 2S4U! And at 365 Cards is "Musical Monday". We were asked to use music on our card in some way. Well, my sister asked me to make a couple of teacher Thank You cards for her daughter's teachers. So, I found a free music sheet download of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" and went with it. I used some notebook paper, the downloaded music sheet, an apple cut from Happily Ever After (Cricut), some ribbon, twine and a button from stash. I wasn't sure about the music thing, but I think it turned out ok. Thanks for stopping by and thanks so much for your super nice comments!

Card Patterns, Sketch #11

Card Patterns has a great sketch up for this week. I thought I would make a card to say Thank You to a teacher. I love teachers and without them where would all of us be?? I have several teachers in my family......my sister, my daughter-in-law, my sister-in-law and my daughter is about to get her Bachelor's degree in elementary education (next month!!). So, I added a little apple to this one from my Happily Ever After cartridge. The marquee was cut from The Calligraphy Collection cart along with the vine. The arrow was cut the other day and I can't remember which cart I used. (old age setting in!). The patterned paper is My Mind's Eye and the craft paper is from my stash. So, head on over to Card Patterns and check out the sketch challenge. (click on my title). There are some very talented folks over there! The sketch is shown above and here is my card.............

Thanks for stopping by!
