So because of all this, I thought I would break out my favorite teacher set by Kim Hughes to use for today's sketch. Here it is:
It stumped me for a bit, but you know Pam always stumps me. She is so great at giving challenges! Here is my card:
This is the first Kim Hughes set I ever purchased and I still adore every bit about it. Most of the images are from 'Making The Grade'. The grass is from her 'Summer Trees' set and the two patterned stars are from Gel-A-Tins.
Here is a close-up. I have this large spool of burlap that I inherited and I have been dying to use it on a card. I threaded some bakery twine by Martha Stewart through it to give me the diagonal in the sketch. I added in the school house because my card was visually off balance. It was important to add even if it deviated from the sketch a bit. But of course that's what makes doing this fun! I can't wait to see how you interpret today's sketch. I hope you have fun with it!

Adorable! I'd love this card! Funny, you are starting out with a K child in the fall and my oldest starts college in the fall. He graduates our homeschool in June...making this long journey worth it. Only 10 more years to go until the other 2 graduate... faint).
