Inspire….teacher
It’s almost time for school again! How fast the summer goes by! Here in Canada, we have another few weeks left of summer vacation but I know that for some of you in the US, classes are about to begin. While today’s card design may be better fitted to the end of the year or a mid-year note… I’ve been thinking…hmmmmmm. Despite enjoying the summer with my family…I’m having one of those days when I feel like sending this card off the first day of school….Thank you! 
Maybe I should make a few more! Actually I do have some mixed feelings about it. I’ll miss the kids when they go back and those lazy summer beach days watching them play in the sand. I’ve had my camera out as much as possible…trying to capture those beautiful summer moments to pull out and enjoy when we’re in the thick of winter.

This is a scrappy style card that I designed for a Craft Critique article on the Maya Road Office Sheers. I seriously love these things and their fun, funky look! I stamped my pencil and sentiment right on it with Stazon ink. While this looks quite scrappy…there is actually quite a bit of stamping on this design. For school and kid-related themes…I love this Writing Paper Scrapblock™. You can probably tell from the amount of times I use these huge sentiments that Big Inspiration in one of my favorite sets!
Also…just wanted to tell you about another free on-line class CHF is offering. Click on the banner below for the details! 
So….how’s the summer going for you? Anyone else ready for back to school?

Cool card. My son goes back to school today, thank goodness, and my daughter next Monday. Both are totally bored with summer already.
Great card! I have been using MR office sheers for my cards and they are fun! I never thought to stamp on them with Stazon, so thanks for the inspiration! Love your blog, BTW! I’ve learned a lot about how to better use (and more often use!) my stamps!
Very nice! I love that sheer journaling box. I’m glad I don’t have to prepare for the first day of school anymore
Super-duper cute, Julia! It will definitely put a smile on any teacher’s face.
Can you believe my oldest started back to school nearly two weeks ago?! I hate that — school shouldn’t start until after Labor Day nor end before Memorial Day, IMHO. (er… Just realized those are US holidays that might not be the ‘markers’ for you they are for us down south — first weekend of Sept./last weekend of May — how’s that?! :^) ) When I rule the world, I making that a law… heehee
