Paper Dolls Challenge #17

Lisa V. challenged us to create a project using a card made by one of my all-time favorite designers, Dawn McVey, as inspiration.  You can check out Lisa's challenge here.  Please also stop by Dawn's blog and take a look at all her wonderful creations. 

I decided to CASE Dawn's layout. I love how simple her layouts are. It's so easy to change one or two elements on her card and make something totally new.  This card is for a wonderful teacher at my daughter's elementary school.

The first time I ever saw cork board used on a project that I liked was here on Dawn's blog. It inspired me enough to get some. I ordered mine from Stampin' Up.

I also love the Spiral Notebook die from Papertrey Ink.  I cut it down so that it would fit within my cork board shape.  Then, I used one of the images from MSS: Library Ledger to make it look like a mini binder paper.  The green brad makes it look like it's tacked onto the cork board. I really like how it turned out.

Here's how I finished the inside.  I thought it would be fun to make it look like the Kindergarten writing paper.  I used the apple image to connect the inside to the front.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
