Paper Smooches SPARKS--Thanks Teacher

*** Scroll down to the post below or click HERE to see my card for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! *** 

This week's Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge is an Anything Goes challenge.  Since tomorrow is my first official day at work at my new school, I put together a simple school themed design for the challenge.

I used the School Icons die set to make a pencil for my card.  After die cutting the pieces from a bunch of cardstock scraps, I assembled the pencil.  I used foam tape to adhere it to a kraft card base that I'd covered with a pair of patterned paper panels and a coordinating solid cardstock strip.  The "thanks teacher" sentiment from the Smarty Pants set was stamped in gray ink on the notebook lined patterned paper.
