Hi there! I hope you're all having a nice weekend so far! The weather here is so beautiful! My parents took the girls for the day so hubby and I had some nice quiet time around the house! He had a NASTY bug on Thursday and Friday and spent most of the day recuperating so I was able to stamp!
After seeing Taylor's sketch yesterday, I knew I had to make time to participate! I used two new sets recently released by Taylored Expressions,Make the Grade and theExtra Credit mini set! Teacher Appreciation is just around the corner and I need just a couple more cards and I'll be done! I am never this organized! Feels good!
Here are a few deets: The book image was stamped twice, colored with Copics, cut out and stacked on top on each other. The apple and sentiment are from the Extra Credit Mini set. The dp is a combination of October Afternoon Cherry Hill and Report Card. I think I'm addicted to October Afternoon dp....I just can't get enough! Anywho...I added some machine stitching and actually sewed my buttons to the card and called it done!
Thank you for stopping by! I hope what's left of your weekend is fabulous!
Stamps: Make the Grade, Extra Credit Mini set (Taylored Expressions)

I am loving this patterned paper, and it works beautifully with this sketch! And your stitching is the perfect touch to make it look like a colorful quilt!
