Teacher Thank You

It's getting to be that time of year - time to thank my son's teachers for their undying patience this year.  He's a handful.  Cute, but a handful.

In my recent order from Paper Smooches, I included the Clipboard stamp set and dies along with the Notebook Paper stamp set.  I like that the 2 lines for the margin are a different stamp, so I can use different colors!

I created this card to enter into the Sparks Challenge this week, which is this sketch:

After stamping and using an impression plate on the red panel, I cut some of the chalkboard paper I found in my stash.  I had a package of back to school paper from August that I never had time to use.  Now - I can use it for end of year cards!  {winning!} I love any ruler ribbon and pick some up any time I see it.  
 
I die cut the clip from a piece of Soft Stone polka dot paper and stamped the image on it.  After I stamped the notebook lines, I used a Fiskars edge punch on the paper.  I used some scissors to make the edges of the paper look a little worn, and bent the tabs of the paper up. That checkmark is from the Clipboard set too!

All of this was mounted on a Kraft base.  I popped the clipboard up and it hangs off the edge a little, so it's not a true A2 size, but that's alright.

Thanks for visiting My Happy Place!  Be back tomorrow with another Paper Smooches card for this sketch!
