I am so happy to be back from our epic family trip to the Netherlands! And I have hit the ground running with these projects-- since we only have four more weeks of summer and all the stores are excited to get this "back to school" party started-- my anything goes projects are for the teachers!
The Dollar Tree store had these cute scratch off stickers that I wanted to dress up for some of our favorite past teachers (I always make sure to give a little gift to each of the teachers who have impacted Marianne at her elementary school)!

It was fun to add the little fold of DSP and the stamped sentiment and bookworm from the stamp set Check You Out! I knew that stamp set would get a lot of traction from me since I do so much at Marianne's school- room parent, PTA bulletin board keeper, etc.
I really love the touch of the two ribbons at the top-- the NEW Denim Ribbon is soft and dark-- just how I like my jeans! And the crushed curry crinkle ribbon ties beautiful bows! (I love the vellum banner punched piece mainly because I ran it through with the Subtles embossing folder.)

Now for the card, I wanted to try #simplestamping with just stamps, ink, paper, and some DSP, but I couldn't resist adding a piece of ribbon. I love our campus librarian and I think she's going to love this card. I am hoping to teach an after school card class to the teachers with this set-- it's so stinkin' cute!
And that's a pretty cute envelope, right??
Don't forget to keep hopping! I am sure that everyone will have cool and creative projects...
