Hey everyone! Well I am officially on summer break now! Woo hoo!!!!!! It doesn't quite feel like it yet because I'm taking a class for the next two weeks, but it still feels nice! :) I am in desperate need of some thank you cards right now because I have had a lot of people helping me out lately... I have decided to make the move from teaching 1st Grade to 2nd Grade!!!! *biting off fingernails* My principal was practically begging me, and I really love that grade level, so... I'm taking a leap of faith! It was definitely not an easy decision, and it was quite bittersweet... I'm ready for the change, but I didn't want to leave my comfort zone! I shed a little tear when I left my old room for the last time... Anywho, my friend Sarah will be the recipient of this card because she helped me pack up my old classroom, put everything away in my new room, and she's going to help me decorate the walls! :) AND this card meets the requirements of the new Krafty Girls challenge! The challenge this week is: Pinterest Inspired. Make a card you were inspired to make by something you saw on Pinterest. I think we can all safely say that Pinterest is addicting, and when I saw this card I knew I just had to make it myself! Here we go...
Here was my inspiration... so cute! I love the bakers twine wrapped around the letters! This is from Weekly Scrapper.
Okay, here's what I came up with...
A2 sized card
Mini Monograms- scalloped circle cut at 5"
Doodletype- "thank" bold cut at 1.35", "you" cut at 1.24"
Bakers twine
A la Mode- sparkle embossing powder
Rhinestones
THANK YOU for stopping by, and I hope you'll join us over at Krafty Girls for the Pinterest inspired challenge! :)
P.S. Mom and Dad you will be getting a thank you card for all of your help too!
P.P.S. Because of this challenge title, I can't get Chicago's "You're the Inspiration" out of my head now! :)

So cute.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of wrapping twine around letters. It's a great way to mask miss matched letters.
