I finally found some time to do a little bit of crafting. Since it's Back To School time,I figured I'd make a card in honor of school days. This card reminds me of a teacher I used to have in 8th grade, Mrs Estoye. I swear the woman was an imposter and locked the real teacher in the closet. I couldn't wait for that school year to be over! (I'm sure we all remember a teacher like that)
For this card, I used the Sketches at Papertake Weekly, Sweet Stop and Sunday Sketch & Stamp, and Crafty Ho's. The image is from the Stella line of digi stamps, from Bugaboo, and is colored with Promarkers. (I just love Jodi's images!) Stella may not be lovely to most of us, but I'm sure she is, in some way, to her husband Gus. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right?
The background paper is all scraps from my stash. The border is punched using a border punch from Martha Stewart. I tore these buttons off some old clothes I threw away. The ribbon is new, from the dollar bin at Target. It's hard to see in the pic, but I used a clearstar jelly roll pen to her glasses to make them shine.
I am entering this card in the following challenges:

I LOVE STELLA!! This card is awesome Sammi! Terrific work! I can remember a history teacher I had in high school that I think was the WORST teacher I've EVER had. I learned nothing that year except how to deal with difficult people......so I guess I learned SOMETHING, huh? LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat work!
Hugs & Happy Days!
