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.

    Adorable. Your project and your little girl.
    That is a great way to recycle. I love those ideas, because I hate wasting anything. After all that was my hard earned money.
    Thanks for sharing with us at FCCB
