Challenge Me Monday #8

Teacher Appreciation, apple shape:
Create something for a special teacher using an apple shape somewhere on your project.

I created a little memo holder for my Jessie's pre-school teacher.  It was my first "teacher" gift.  I got kinda of weepy because my little girl is growing up so fast!


The black foam is a stamp pad. I have dozens of them, They come with those rubber stamp set from Michaels.  I thought it looked like a chalkboard.  I embossed the white writing, using clear emboss pen, white powder and heat gun. I also added ribbon and thumb tacks.
The apple is a cute cut from A Child's Year Cartridge.  I used red cardstock and inked the leaves in green/ stem in light brown and black marker for the lef veins. To finish off the apple, I embossed it with clear powder.  The embossing made it such a deeper color and gave it a great texture.
Here is a picture of my Jessica and her teacher Ms. Lori.  Gotta love the look she gave, it was right after the pretty smile, waiting for the camera to get ready, lol.

Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Review

Good morning friends, Carolyn here with a review of a new tool I just recently purchased.  Received a newsletter from Scrapbook.com recently and checked it out.  But I did not purchase from Scrapbook.com as it's out of stock, so went to another source, and it arrived this past Saturday afternoon. TIP:  Easy way to create borders for your scrapbook page layouts, or embellishing the page or creating edges for your cards.  Gives you ease of creating a border across the edge(s) of paper; and create a border strip and cut down to size you would like for embellishing a sentiment mat for a card or front of card. Supplies used: Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Fiskars' smaller interchangeable border punch cartridges - double scalloped edge   Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Here is a short write up about the system: The unique design of the AdvantEdge Punch System by Fiskars allows crafters to add perfectly aligned decorative borders and ribbons to any pr
