My Creative Time ~ Stamp Of The Month ~ My Teacher Rocks!

Hello today is another My Creative Time Stamp Of The Month! Today I will be showcasing the stamp set  "My Teacher Rocks! " This is such a fun stamp set to work with and the best part is Emma has put it on sale along with the stamp set "Camera Shy" ! Click here.! After I made my card I thought of 2 other ways to use it! I actually made this card for my son, he did such an INCREDIBLE job on his report card! We are so proud of him! I was inspired by what I refer in my house as the "HOT MESS"! It is our bulletin board which hangs in our kitchen. It has everything and anything to do with Ryan's school or activities. He displays his art work, papers, some school pictures and any schedules that has to do with him. Maybe we should call it the "Ryan" board.

 Anyway I took a picture of it to show you were I got my idea for his card. Unfortunately this is the some what cleaned up version! LOL! I allow him to add and remove anything he likes, except the things on the very top. I told him those are important papers for parents. Once I give him this card, I am going to add this to a scrapbook page, so you might see it later too. if I ever get to his scrapbook!

Onto my card! I love the stamp with the papers with the pushpin! I made one the way it comes but for the other I decided to mask off the sentiment and add the sentiment "A+ Student".  We usually have a small little chalkboard hanging from our bulletin board but for some reason it is missing?? I guess Ryan has it somewhere. He has been practicing his words and letters. So I decided to make a chalkboard that looks like ours. I heat embossed it to make it look like chalk. All the other little items are things Ryan seems to LOVE. These little things came from the paper pack I used. I did add the "#1 Teacher" sentiment to the apple. He has the VERY BEST teacher!! Okay I have kept you all to long. I hope you go over to My Creative Time and check out all the AMAZING other DT's creations and don't forget to link up your creations
