{Teacher's Pet}
I knew as soon as I received Lisa's invitation that this kit would be amazing, and I was so right! I spread out all the pieces on my desk and once I started creating I couldn't stop! Every day I'd go back and think of something else to make with what was left. Her color combinations are so perfect, and I didn't want to leave anything unused! I made seven projects to share today, and a few more I'll share in the coming days.
So, without further ado, let's get to what I made! First up, a card I will certainly be sending to one of my son's amazing middle school teachers this fall. I'm entering this one in the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where "Anything Goes!"

I was so excited to see that Lisa included a one layer card with the sweetest Purple Onion Designs image stamped on the front. What a joy it was to color and add a birthday sentiment for one of my little nieces! (I had to add a few sequins from Lisa's own mix, Sweet Pea!) I did a lot of coloring on this card, so I am linking it up to the current challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge Challenge #257: Make Your Mark.

Inks: MFT (Black Licorice), Memento (Tuxedo Black), Copic markers
