Strange Fruit
Welcome back! It's back to school week for the kids and myself. I made a set of these for DS's teacher. She's a real recycle buff and got a kick out of the use of scraps to make her cards. I layered many strips of green on double-sided tape and then ran it through my Big Shot with my apple Nesties. I know, only a teacher would have the apple set! The sentiment is from Gina K's Fanciful Tags. I hand drew the frame.

ReplyDeleteYou commented on my Denami school themed card yesterday asking about that Notebook BG. It's a stamp that I purchased many years ago from COrnish Heritage Farms. They are back in business now, but I don't know if they still make it...
