Hey, all! Today's card uses this week's Card Patterns sketch. I decided to make a teacher-y card...and, yes, teacher-y is a word. I'm an English teacher, and I say it's a word. So there. 
During the school year, I like to give co-workers cards, especially as the year drags on and people need a pick-me-up. So this little card will go into my stash for just such an occasion. I finally got to use my Papertrey Teacher's Apple set. Speaking of PTI, did anyone buy any of the new releases? I was a BAD girl and bought OODLES of goodies. Have you all seen the Button Bits set? Too stinkin' cute!
It's SO sad to think that in just a few more weeks I will be back at work--I don't wanna go to school! *stomps foot* I've really been enjoying being able to craft, blog, and blurf every day. When school starts up, I'll be lucky if I can do that a few days a week. 
Stamps: Teacher's Apple (PTI)
Paper: Kraft, Very Vanilla, Real Red, October Afternoon dp
Ink: Basic Black, Real Red
Accessories: flower (Prima), glittered brads (Doodlebug), ribbon (Dollar Tree), Nestabilities Labels 1, MS scalloped dot punch, horizontal slot punch
Oh, teacher!!! Fantastic card!

ReplyDeletethis is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI'm still contemplating the PTI, I'll let you know!
If you say teachery, teachery it is! :) Can I go back to school and be in your class? lolz...Fabulous card!
ReplyDeleteI have 2 daughters who teach and I homeschool my 2 youngest (I have 8...6 of whom are all grown) so this card really grabbed my heart. It is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! The apple paper is really cute!
ReplyDeleteI struggle with teacher cards, I find them difficult. I like this one a lot. And, I'm a HUGE PTI fan, LOVE the button bits as well. So innovative!

Oh I love this! The text paper behind is really fabulous (I think have a new obsession). Thanks for encouragement with my video too.
ReplyDeleteOh and I got the In Bloom PTI set, buttons, paper and ink. I tried to keep it to a minimum because of my scrapbook store purchases plus I bought one of the new My Cute Stamp sets as well! AHHH!
Awwww im sorry, You will have to try to make a little time when you get home and after dinner. I know on my days I work I get sad tooo...lol but when I get home I start crafting and blogging:) Anyways cute card, and you will find a way to balance both:)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Cheryl
I love this card! I absolutely love it! This is so well put together and the sentiment is just perfect. I know there will be a teacher next school year that will smile all over their face when you give them this card. It's just perfect! I hate to see you go back to school too if it means you won't be posting as often. I LOVE popping in over here every day to see your newest creations. Have a great day :)
ReplyDeleteLove the card!! I know what you mean- I saw Back to School stuff at Target and then fall decor at Michaels- depressing. It's only July!! :(
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous... love it! I am totally hoarding that apple paper! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect card! Fabulous job!
ReplyDeleteI've only had two weeks to enjoy summer...don't mention back to school yet!!! Love the card, I think I'll make myself a stash for the same purpose.
ReplyDeleteI love this with the dictionary page, great idea. O you poor thing, wouldnt it be nice if we could stay home and just create, surf and enjoy sun rises and sun sets.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card! Love it and thank you for being a Teacher. The world would be lost without all of you.
ReplyDeleteThis will definitely pick up a fellow teacher's spirits. Such a pretty card. Wonderful design, Ann!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it (I'm a teacher too)! I have yet to use my Teacher Apple set. Thanks for playing at CP.
ReplyDeleteVery cute card Ann...I love the design & dp you used! tfs!!!
ReplyDeleteAnn, this is cute, but I'm not ready for school to start again, just yet. Give me another week with my little one and I'll be begging for school to start.
ReplyDeleteThis is the sweetest teacher card! Love everything about it!
ReplyDeletethe apples are very cute! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable card!
ReplyDeleteLOL, you're so cute! Love your teacher-y card! :P
ReplyDeleteSuch a great card! The text paper really makes the rest of the design pop, lovely!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I eps. love the dictionary page background...how appropriate!
ReplyDelete(-: Heidi
Wow..that card is soooo creative! I love it!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! is that a real page from a dictionary? I've done that in the past, but then i felt guilty for mutilating a dictionary! LOL
ReplyDeleteI teach 2nd, and I would say that teachery is word too!!! LOL
Is this background actually a page from a book? Cool.
ReplyDeleteLove that card! It's so nice to plan for the pick-me-ups that your coworkes will inevitably need. Teaching sure has lots of challenges...and rewards. Enjoy what's left of your summer!
ReplyDelete(((hugs)))
This is so cute Ann!! Love that you're planning ahead. I need to start a card stash for when I don't have time to craft. Glad you could play along with us again.
ReplyDeletegreat card! my daughter is ready for school!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness... I love this card. As soon as I scrolled down i said (in my head) "wow"... super cute. I am not a teacher but i must be at heart because i love 'teacher stuff'! I was bad last night too!! I spent too much money!
ReplyDeleteMy students tell me I have my own dictionary with all the words I come up with, LOL.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of giving co-workers cards as pick-me-ups throughout the year. I may just have to start doing that too. Your card is just too, too cute too.
Hello Ann! Great "stash" card...I can remember as a kid summers seeming to go on endlessly...now they just fly on by.....and I wonder how much faster time will go as I get older...BOY, that was waaaaay too deep! LOL
ReplyDeleteFabulous card, and your sense of humor is cracking me up. Thanks for both! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove this card! Simply love it!!
ReplyDeleteStunning card Ann, love the sentiment! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteErin x
That is one of my favorite cards of yours. Wow...gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I just love teachery cards! The sentiment rocks and I believe it to be so true. I didn't realize you were a teacher - do you teach a specific grade?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your "work free" scrap/card-making time!
Shanna
Haha...love your 'teachery' card :) Can you be my English teacher..lol :)
ReplyDeleteOh how fun! Teachery cards are great and I love the text dictionary background and the yummy apples!
ReplyDeleteReally love the saying on the card!
ReplyDeleteAnd I loved the PTI Buttons Bits stamp set! So ADORABLE!
I love the card. I am a sucker for that set. I totally ordered some PTI happy goodies....can't wait until i get them!
ReplyDeleteGreat teacher-y card Ann! What a wonderful idea to send a pick me up to your co workers. Teachers deserve LOTS of pick me ups for all they do each day with our kids. Enjoy your final 2 weeks of "summer"....my girls went back today on a year round schedule! Day one of 3rd and kindergarten down :)
