The Challenge!
This week is a theme -
Celebrating Teachers
School years around the northern hemisphere are coming to a close and summer is just coming!
Several of The Challenge team are teachers themselves and I know they are all looking forward to their summer breaks. Since my sons both just finished college, I don't really have any teachers to send cards to so I'm dedicating my card to all my crafty/blog friends who are also teachers!
Make sure you check out the rest of The Challenge Team's fabulous cards and leave them some blog love. We love comments too!

Since I haven't had to make teacher gifts for years, this week's challenge really did challenge me! I have a lot of school stickers and things for scrapbook pages, but I try not to use much of it since I'm only up to First Grade for both of my boys' books (yes, I did just mention they both just graduated college)! I'm just a tad behind. LOL
I wanted to do something with yellow flowers and I found this cute little mouse digital stamp in my computer files. He's from Bugaboo Stamps. So, I printed him out along with the sentiment, which is from Doodle Pantry digital stamps. I thought it would look cute arched over the flower. I colored them in Copics and Spectrum Noirs and then added a few diamond Stickles to the flower middle. I used stitched mats from Lil' Inkers Designs and cut two small banners from Reverse Confettie (fat) and Lil Inkers (skinny). The books and apple are Jolee stickers to make it more school official. The background paper is old, old, old.
For Following Challenges:
I used the sketch at the Fusion challenge.
