Back-to-School for Teachers

Today I have a back-to-school card for a teacher using images and sentiments from  Deedee's Digis.  As an ex-teacher, Labor Day was always a special holiday.  It was my last chance to take a deep breath before the year picked up momentum.   The classroom was set up, class rolls ready, and my subconscious checklist would be clicking off non-stop.  So, today, instead of creating a card for students, I made a card for a teacher friend--a reminder to take time for herself as the busy school year begins.  Here's the card...



Don't you just love it when you can mix and match stamp sets?  I used four sets for this card:  Chalk Talk ( mouse and chalkboard), High School Daze (sentiment on cup), Coffee Cup Greetings (cup with pencils), and So Cool (take time message). Check out all these sets in the Summer and Back-to-School section of Deedee's shop.

I will share my card at these challenges:
