Card set in a hurry.

When you only remember at the last minute that you'll be needing cards to give out to the teachers at your son's preschool (since today is his graduation -sniff, sniff!), you don't mess around.  I found this post and used it as inspiration to bang out 4 cards in less than an hour.  The procrastination was so bad that I couldn't wait to photograph the set in natural light ;)

Using the apple from Paper Smooches' "falling for you" set and elements from PTI's "it's official," I created these very teacher-appropriate cards.

 All of the patterned papers are from Stampin' Up.  (Fun fact: the notebook-lined paper is from a Christmas pack!)


 I'm entering these into this week's MIM challenge: mixing patterned papers.

Thanks for looking!

  2. What a wonderful set. I can't believe that you whipped all these up in an hour. You should like to this week's Make it Monday, because you really knocked it out of the park with those patterned papers.

  4. Wow, these are great, Elena! Super job--- you'd never know it was rushed!
    I loved that post by Betsy--she has such great ideas! I made cards for my kids' teachers at Christmas.... I'm wondering if they need more. Austin's teacher is expecting... I could make her a bunch of thank you cards for after the baby is born.
