*Classic Pooh* teacher's card

I won an e-bay auction last week for a cute set of Classic Pooh stamps called Pooh at School. I bought them with every intention of giving them to my little girl, Livi, who loves to play school... but after stamping with them today, I think I might just keep them for myself!

Last month, A Muse released a new clear set called *school time*. I added the A+ and the row of abc's from that set to the front of the card. Then I decorated the inside with a sentiment and quote that is also from that set. I made this card for Livi's first grade teacher, Mrs. Kiddoo. I hope she likes it. Thanks for stopping by!

*back to school* amuse-bouche

Are you ready for another round of amuse-bouche? Here's a peek at A Muse's fun new Back to School release. I just love this school bus and all those cute little faces peeking out the back! Looks like they're enjoying one wild bus ride! I'm not sure I'd be sending a thank you to that crazy busdriver!

Notice any other new goodies? How about that school lined cardstock, the papaya 4-bar notecard, and that yummy swiss red polka dot ribbon? Be sure to check the A Muse blog and rest of the creative team blogs for more peeks of the upcoming release!

*an apple for the teacher*

I struggled with ideas for teacher thank you's this year when IT dawned on me! Why couldn't I make a single toilet paper tube page to hold a gift certificate? For a few briefs moments I felt like a genius! LOL!!! Part way through the project I realized that I didn't have any red eyelets, so I tried coloring an orange one with a red copic marker. It worked!!! That little discovery really made my day and so did finding this super yummy *pistachio* ribbon! I hope they still have it at JoAnn's because I want MORE!!! I was able to pull a few things out of my stash that I haven't used yet. I've been hoarding these oh-so-cute mini library clips for quite a while, and it was the perfect occasion to ink up this cute apple stamp from Hero Arts. Do you think teachers get tired of getting things with apples on them? I've always wondered that.
