I needed a card for my Child's Teacher... and took inspiration from our Featured Stamper's gallery this week, #FS237 --> sweetnsassystamps, AKA: Korin. She has a wonderful gallery full of fun designs! Love her work! I chose this Mousie card of hers:
My 7 yr old son picked out the exact House-Mouse stamp that he wanted me to use on this School themed card for his new teacher! He wanted this stamp because he says it's really funny to see a Mouse bobbing on Apples. heheh
I have great respect for TEACHERS as they have always been a GREAT source of Inspiration to me... They are more than just educators. They are tutors, instructors, coaches, counselors, professors, trainers, friends, caretakers... all combined into one! That's why this card also fits into this month's Dirty Dozen Central Theme; *** In Your Footsteps ***.

Love the double white layers with different borders, the sweet stamped image ( your child has great taste!) and the silver you placed on the sentiment tag and mouselayer.

This is a wonderful card. I love all the glitter you added around the edges. Your son is right, this image is a giggle. I Love that embossing folder too.

What a wonderful card for a lady teacher. Love the lacy accents...real and the paper edging. The image is so cute and so beautifully colored. This is a tresure a teacher is sure to keep.

Wow, you certainly pulled out all the stops on this unique card - of course the adorable HM image and EF work together so well for a teacher , but the doubled up borders and the lace running across the red strip to showcase "Teacher" really add a LOT to this wonderful card!! TFS your wonderful talents here in the gallery!!
