So Grateful

I finally have gotten my classroom all ready for the upcoming year.  I am not usually so last minute but we have been away and so busy this summer I had to go in this weekend too.  At least I have tomorrow off before we start on Tuesday.  Now I feel ready for fall.

Feeling ready for fall, had me in the mood to create another fall themed card.  I used my Bella Blvd Thankful collection along with a tag from Elle's Studio.  The Twine is from May Arts and I adhered it with some mini Glue Dots.  I do love my Cricut but I will never give up my Sizzix.  I used it to cut a chipboard leaf from an old chipboard coaster, adhered some pattern paper to it and then stitched.


I used this week's sketch from Sketchbook Saturday:

I was inspired by the Paper Players challenge:

    Hi Laurel, What a gorgeous card. I did not know that you could cut a coaster with your sizzix. Wonder if
    other cutters would work too?
    Being a retired teacher, I know how you feel!! I am volunteering at my former school to help on the first morning with crowd control and lending a free hand wherever needed.
    I do miss the beginning of school but am glad to be able to choose when I want to teach and when I want to be a grandma. Have a wonderful school year.

    Gorgeous card, Laurel! Since we started school last week, I've been really ready for fall, too. I absolutely love the mix of papers you used here. The stitching on the leaf is a fabulous touch, and I adore the looping twine. :)
