Random.org gave me number 23 and that is LaRee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats on winning the Boot Loot that I am offering in honor of my DD's 6th birthday. I am excited to say that LaRee is one of my dear friends, so I know where you live and obviously you won't have to e-mail me. I think in my Boot Loot contests I've only had a person I actually know outside of blog-land win more than once or twice. I must admit it's fun to see someone I know win!!!

I hope you like my card - it's for my daughter's teacher. Teacher appreciation week is coming up, so I thought another apple card was in need to start the little bundle of gifts we're going to be giving my DD's teacher. I had fun making it and using my Prismacolor pencils again. It's been a LONG time!!! The card-base is 6-1/2" x 3-1/4" when folded, so it's a little bit abnormal in size. I don't really like the 6" x 3" size, so I made it a half inch bigger and started with a 6-1/2" x 6-1/2" square. Just FYI....
All items used are SU! unless otherwise noted.
Stamps: ABC Images, Teacher's Apple
Paper: Kraft, Kiwi Kiss and Whisper White CS, Chocolate Chip Textured CS, Washington Apple DSP
Ink: Black StazOn
Accessories: Prismacolor Pencils, Baby Oil, Blending Stump, Scallop Square punch, 1-1/4" punch (I trimmed a tiny bit off of the squares to get them to look a little better on top of the scalloped squares), Kiwi Kiss/Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon, 5/16" White Brads, Vintage White Button (PTI), Linen thread, Paper Piercing Tool and Template, Stampin' Dimensionals, mini glue dots
I always want to ask how you make your bows look so good... every time I see one! I can do knots and just wrap the ribbon around, but a good looking bow is something I rarely acheive!
