Andrea, a former teacher, knows that school can be tough!  She taught a lot of amazing teens and was inspired to make a crazy-happy notebook with an encouraging quote to remind them to be themselves.  She used Impression Obsessions’ “Like the Rest” stamp, the Cinch Book Binding Tool, and Dina Wakley’s Scribbly Birds stamp set.

Anna-Karin created a set of notebook for this week, as teacher’s gifts. She used Tim Holtz’s Entomology stamp set, together with SSS Thank You Teacher set. The books have a mix of white and kraft papers.

Kath used Idea-ology French Industrial Paper, Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Entomology and Mini Blueprints 8, Alphanumeric Thinlits, an Idea-ology Paper Doll and Numbers Remnant Rubs.

Macarena’s son is starting the last grade at an Technology College so the Tim Holtz Inventor 2 stamp set seemed to be designed for him. She die cut the background with Tim Holtz Sizzix Mixed Media 6 set and colored with some Distress Oxide inks.

Maura made bookmarks for her teaching friends, using the Tim Holtz mini blueprints Schoolhouse strip, Altenew’s Teachers Rule stamp set, Indigo Blu’s Calculus stamp, along with Simon Says Stamp’s Good Reading Background stamp.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media note holder using Sizzix Collage & Notebook Texture Fades Embossing Folders for the background and Tim Holtz Rubber Stamp Life Quotes for the sentiment.

Sandra made a back to Hogwarts card, like in the school of Harry Potter. She used the Wallpaper stamp with Black Embossing Powder and Distress Oxide Spiced Marmalade and Ripe Persimmon to create a dramatic background. The Ornate Frame she distressed with Grit-Paste and Metallique Wax Bronze Age.
