As most of you paper crafters know, today is the day for acceptance emails for Paper Crafts' book A Card a Day...and sadly I did not get one. But lots of other talented designers did and the issue is sure to be fabulous. So I now have lots of cards to share, which I guess is good since we are moving at the end of next week and I do not know when my crafty space will be set up again. Here is the first one, my favorite of the bunch that I submitted. It uses Mint Motif's School Basics set (available at i {heart} papers) for a nice little teacher card, which I will definitely be giving Jakey's teacher at the end of school next week. Anyhow, I used the cute little apple in the set to create a quick background on the top of the cream piece and the handwriting lines at the bottom. The border is just a scrap I found and thought looked good to bring the piece together. The "thanks" is a Provo Craft die which is really cute...I pulled it out after seeing PTI's word dies that they released this month.
Supplies: Stamps - School Basics (Mint Motif); Ink - Celery (Fresh Ink), Tuxedo Black (Memento), Vintage Cream (PTI); Cardstock - Vintage Cream, Simply Chartreuse, Pure Poppy, True Black (PTI); Corner Rounder (EK Success), Scalloped Scissors (Fiskars), Polka Dots Embossing Folder (Quickutz), Twine (ihp), Buttons (PTI), Thanks Die (Provo Craft)
So there you have it, the first "reject"...I hope you like it and I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Thanks for visiting!

Wow, I can't believe this card wasn't picked up!! I'm loving that Mint Motif set, and the way you made the "thanks" is super cool. Can I say I was totally shocked when I saw your post on FB? Every card you make blows me away! Good luck with your move :)
