Our lovely hostess is Tammy
with the fun theme "School Days".
Our lovely sponsors are Sweet Lilac Flowers and Fresh Brewed Designs.
I encourage you to check out their sites and enter our challenge
as you might be a winner of one of their wonderful prizes!!
For my card I used an adorable cut file from The Cutting Cafe called
I knew right away I wanted to make a "shabby chic apple" card
as soon as I saw the challenge theme.
We all know teachers are sure to
receive their fair amount of apples each year...
want them or not...LOL!!
This card was SOOOOO easy to construct.....
I cut a white card stock base,
then cut a second apple (included in the cut file) from red card stock.
I did a little stitching on the apple,
and a little "faux" stitching on the apple leaf....
added a doily cut from Cheery Lynn Designs French Pastry Doily,
(I cut it in half)....
used a few "snippets" to cut my stem, leaves, ant and sentiment!
I added a couple of Roses and a ribbon bow.
Now pop on over to the Fussy and Fancy blog
and see what the other Design Team members have to inspire you with!
