Paper Players 107

DSCF5833 

Happy Sunday, everyone!  Today, Nance is our hostess at the Paper Players, and she has a theme challenge:

Of course, everyone knows an apple for the teacher is very apropos for the first day of school!  So I made use of my new Perfectly Preserved set and matching framelits, with some Orchard Harvest DP, Natural Composition DP, wooden buttons, and some linen thread and grosgrain ribbon:

PP107-LeAnne

Oh, these fall colors and images just make me HAPPY!  I also used the sketch from the Stampin’ Queens:

SQSC-003

My apple is stamped on Textured Very Vanilla with Raspberry Ripple!  FUN!

Hope you can play along too!  Hop on over to the Paper Players blog where you’ll see a plethora of back-to-school goodies!!!  I can feel the nip in the air!!!

More “stampin’” with Grammy…..can you see her right foot propped up against my rolling cardstock holder?  Tooo funny!

Looks like you both are in the "creative zone" LeAnne! She is so focused...haha! Look at that determination on her sweet face. Your back to school card is awesome! I really like the mix of colors and patterns. The stitching and the twine really add the perfect finishing touch of texture, too. So pretty! :)
