Notes For a Special Teacher Paper Players Challenge PP504

August 16, 2020

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!

I am the hostess this week and I have a "Back to School" Clean and Simple challenge for all of you!  
I will always be a teacher at heart, so I get excited about new crayons, notebooks, pencils, etc.  I know school looks very different for many this year.  A lot of the schools in Georgia are back in session, but it is virtual  school.  Other schools are trying split sessions.  It is such a difficult time, but I know there is a teacher, student or staff member that would love a card for encouragement.  So, have fun and get creative!  




REMEMBER THIS IS CLEAN AND SIMPLE WEEK 

What do we mean by Clean and Simple?

Minimal layers and embellishments
Plenty of open space, aka "white" space
Simple and uncluttered


I added a strip of school buses to the side of my white card base.  I had several types of school paper in my stash and found this ABC paper.  I used the SugarPea Designs Journal Notebook dies to cut it out.  I also cut the "Notes" and the pencil from the same die set.  I couldn't find it listed on the site, so maybe it is discontinued.  The All Apples stamp from Reverse Confetti was used to stamp a red and green apple.  I used the matching die to cut the apples out. I had to stop there since it is Clean and Simple week.  You know that is hard for me, because I love embellishments!
