Andrea<\/a>, a former teacher, knows that school can be tough!\u00a0 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.\u00a0 She used Impression Obsessions’ “Like the Rest”<\/a> stamp, the Cinch Book Binding Tool<\/a>, and Dina Wakley’s Scribbly Birds<\/a> stamp set.<\/p>\n

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

\"\"<\/p>\n
