Principal Appreciation

This week is Teacher Appreciation week but now that my kids are in the upper grades, we really haven't done individual gifts anymore. The secretary at our school though asked if I could come up with some Principal Appreciation cards from the staff and this is what I came up for the male. Let me tell you that their mascot is Mustangs so I thought this retiring horse would be perfect - and I copied Chelsea's Alphabet panel idea!



See the detail of the "notepaper"? That's from the set, Just a Note and I love it for these kinds of accents. The horse is embossed and the mat is actually Kraft cardstock. I took these photos at night and the color is not quite right. Sorry!



Card Materials: Bazzill blue, Kraft cardstock, Hieroglyph Horses, Just a Note, Background Soup, and clear embossing powder

This retiring set is now on sale...and I was lucky enough to have my card in the catalog last year featuring it. I'm not even a horse person but it's such a fun and versatile set!

This card is for the Sketch challenge over at The Angel Company and it also fits in with:

The Pixie Cottage - sketch or one for the boys
Papercrafts Star - find your own sketch

Quick Cards

You know me - that's my style! :)

So, here are two cards I submitted for The Angel Company's catalog card call last fall...both cards feature the Winchester Soar with it Collection. This first card I embossed the Eggplant Versamagic ink for a little extra "umpf". I also used my handy-dandy scor pal for some nice straight lines!

Card Materials:
Stamps: Ship Collage
Accessories: Winchester Soar with It Collection, cardstock and ribbon, antique hardware, clear embossing powder

On the next card, I really liked the effect I got when I dragged my inkspot down across the solid image of the horse. This was also a very quick card because I used a shipping tag for my main image and then one of the tags that came with the Soar with it Collection.
