If You Can Read This...

...Thank a teacher.  I always loved those bumper stickers.  One, because I really like to read, and two, because I always really liked my teachers and tried to let them know how I appreciated them.  (Ok, ok...I didn't like ALL my teachers.  Calculus is just no fun.)  

So, this week's challenge at Tiddly Inks is to Thank a Teacher.

When I saw this quote by William Ward, it reminded me so much of some of my favorite teachers.  I knew it would be perfect with Tiddly Inks' Schoolgirl.  I combined her with Books and typed the quote around her.  Schoolgirl is colored with Copics.  The books were colored with Copics, Spica markers and Glaze pens.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  See you soon!!

Some Odd Challenge

Some Odd Girl is having a very different kind of challenge.  It's Lift an Odd Girl!  What that means is that we go through the DT member's blogs and find a card to scrap-lift.  Well...you know me, I do love to distress things.  When I saw this card by Kellie Winnell, I just HAD to grab it.  Here's mine:

I really loved the look of Kellie's creation, and thought it would be perfect for a vintage wedding card.

I used a couple of dps from Tim Holtz, ribbon from Michael's, charms from TPC Studio, flower from Prima.  Cream papers were embossed using a sizzix folder. Image is from Some Odd Girl.  Tag image is from Dana's Inspirations. Papers edged using Distress Ink in Vintage Photo.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you had fun seeing my card.  I sure had fun making it!  =D
