Teacher Appreciation Tag

The colors at Play Date Cafe this week are perfect for teacher appreciation tags to accompany these great personalized rulers I got from the daily deal site Pick Your Plum last year. I wanted to venture away from the traditional 'apple' theme and green, red and yellow colors for my teacher appreciation cards this year.





I can't wait for their teachers to see their gifts! Thanks for taking a look.

Supplies:
Stamps: PTI Daily Design Sentiments, Thanks All Ways, From You to Me

PTI Make it Monday #105 - Glitter Trim

Hi everyone,

I'm getting back into my craft room after an amazing two week vacation in the Philippines. This week's MIM Challenge isn't my normal cup of tea as I really hate working with glitter because its so messy. But I had to make a card for my cousin so I pulled out the only glitter I had on hand - purple - and pairs it up with PTI's Winter Wisteria, Smokey Shadow, and Soft Stone colors. i originally had a strip of glitter from end to end on the card but trimmed it to a banner peeking out one side because the glitter was a bit too much for me.
