Sketch N Scrap's August Crop Challenge #4

Hello again! I am back with my second post of the day. If you are looking for my Heart's Quest Challenge Blog post, then scroll on down.

I am back to share the card I created for Sketch N Scrap's Challenge #4 - which is posted over in their private Facebook group. You can find our Facebook group by clicking >>here<<. For this challenge, I chose card sketch #181 for us to use to create a card. Here is a look at the sketch:

And this is what I came up with:

My daughter is getting ready to start her 10th year of teaching Special Education! I cannot believe that she has been teaching that long. Heck, it feels like she should still be in high school! I thought I would make her a card for the occasion.

I used scraps that were still out on my desk from yesterday's layout. I was pretty limited with what I had to work with but I think it turned out cute. I embossed the white background panel with a large dot embossing folder. The plain white was just too plain for me. Funny how something as small as using an embossing folder can make it not feel so plain!

The "Best Teacher Ever" sticker came from Echo Park's I Love School sticker book. I think she is the best teacher ever so it was quite fitting! I couldn't find a sentiment that I wanted so I type up "Have a great year!" on the computer and printed it out. 

Be sure to stop by the Sketch N Scrap Monthly Challenges Facebook group and check it out. We would love it if you played along with us!

Sketch N Scrap Card Sketch #181

 Hello, everyone! Happy Thursday to you! We are inching ever closer to the weekend and I am ready for it! 

It's time for the first card sketch of the month at Sketch N Scrap today and Lisa has created a great one for us to use:

This is what I came up with:

For my card, I have used Echo Park's Dear Santa 6x6 paper pad. The traditional colors and patterns in this pad are my favorite. The Santa and reindeer sticker is one I picked up in the Christmas section at Walmart last year. There are so many cute stickers in this pack and I am sure a few of them will be finding their way to more cards and my December Daily this year.

Once again, I used one of my neglected embossing folders for my main panel. I matted each of my patterned papers with black cardstock to help them stand out a little more. I used foam tape on the Santa sticker for a little dimension and finished it all off with a couple of black gems.

I really loved working with this sketch and I know I will be using it again soon!

Be sure to check out the Sketch N Scrap blog to see the sketch and the beautiful cards from the design team.
