Learning Is Fun! Inspired By Challenge #84

August 8, 2019

It's time for a new challenge at Inspired By!

I love all school related things.  I am still a teacher at heart and this inspiration photo makes me happy!  What inspires you in this photo?  the numbers, bus, apples, polka dots, table settings? 

We can't wait to see what you create!  

My card is created on a white cards base.  I used a stitched rectangle die to cut out the school bus paper that I found in my stash.  The red paper and the journal paper were cut using the SugarPea Designs 
Notebook Journal Card Die.  The little bear is from SugarPea Designs Teacher's Pet Stamp Set.  I colored him with Copic Markers.  I used Glossy Accents on the apple to make it shine.  The sentiment is from Your Next Stamp Learning Is Fun.  I added a few star stickers.  This card was made for my grandson Robert.  He started Kindergarten last week.  

Thanks for stopping by my blog.  Check out all the inspiration from the Design Team.  We sure hope you will play along with us this week!  

HUGS!

Notes---Paper Players Challenge #453

August 4, 2019

What a weekend it has been!  I attended my 45th High School reunion!  YES, I am old!  It was wonderful to spend time with my childhood friends.  So many cherished memories.  Today, I am off to my family reunion!  

It is time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!
I am the hostess this week!  Anyone that knows me well, knows how much I love school related things.  School started this week in Georgia and my grands are busy now making new friends and memories.  I taught Elementary School for 27 years and I still miss the excitement of a new year and a new class.  Crayons, paper, scissors and glue still make me smile!  I hope you will play along with us and make a card to encourage a special child, teacher, coach, bus driver or school personal.  HAVE FUN! 

                                                

My card was created for my grand daughter, Addison.  She is in 5th grade already!  Time is flying by---she loves yellow and she know that I love polka dots, so I made the background with some DSP we both liked.  The journal pages were cut using the SugarPea Designs notebook journal die.  I used some DSP school papers from my stash.  I found this 5th grade journal tab sticker and some other stickers in a box of old stuff.  Yes, I am a hoarder of old scrapbooking items, too!  I added red and white Baker's twine and a green paper clip to complete my card.  The "notes" was cut using the same die set.  The subjects are stamped using a stamp that I found in my stash.  I am sorry that I don't know where it is from.

Here is sketch #575

My card is created on a Kraft card base.  I added a piece of wood grained paper to the top.  I used burlap ribbon to separate the two sections like in the sketch.  I cut a brown and vanilla oval for the top panel.

The sunflower is stamped using the Painted Harvest stamp set.  The sentiment is from the same set.
