A teacher takes a hand...

Opens a mind, and touches a heart.
I took part in MFT (My favorite things) weekly sketch challenge (#3). I love this pure innocence image (apple for you). I paired her up with some Cosmo cricket school spirit collection 6X6 paper. Too bad the paper behind my girl is mostly covered up :( The print is adorable and features school houses and yellow buses...too cute!

I have to admit I absolutely LOVED this sketch and most of it came together fast and easily...until the end...lol. Once I came to the top left corner detail, the train stopped. Nothing I tried looked right and it stumped me good. Finally, I remembered this old twill tape ribbon I had and made a loopy, blossom type thing, paired it with a wooden button and called it done! The sentiment was a "free set" I received from MFT when I purchased 3 full sized stamp sets from the new release and all the sentiments are based around teachers. A set I simply had to add to my collection.

Supplies: Stamps: Pure Innocence apple for you, teachers sentiments (MFT). CS: Staples brand 110lb white cs. kraft cs (SU!). PP: school spirit (Cosmo Cricket 6X6 pad). Ink: momento. Access: twill tape (Unknown), wooden button (time 4 crafts), Copic markers, white gel pen, for you rub on (SU!), ric rac (May arts), red stickles (Ranger), dimensionals and glue dots.
