After making a more masculine teacher appreciation card a short while back, I promised my little girl I would come up with something more girly for her two female teachers. I started off with this cute schoolhouse image from Make the Grade by Taylored Expressions. Love the variety of imagery in this set (I haven't even used my favorite image yet)! I colored the schoolhouse a warm yellow using Prismacolor pencils. The papers are all by October Afternoon (Farm Fresh and Report Card).
The layout is Jen's Sketch for You To Try from this past Saturday. Yay! I was able to get something made after all, albeit a few days late. Here's the sketch:

I guess I wouldn't mind attending such school :-) So, is the desk your favourite? :-)
I admire the perfect so-close-to-the-edge stitching!

WOWZERS, Amy!! This card is absolutely gorgeous! I SO love your coloring! I feel inspired to get out my Prismacolor pencils, although I know my coloring wouldn't turn out half as nicely as yours did!
