A Touch of Sol

Hola Amigas. WOW! It's been along time since I have shared with all of you! Believe me I have been truly busy creating. But also not well. Well this week is Teacher's Appreciation Day. We are appreciating Solimar's teacher using all the ideas from the book Teacher's Appreciation Day (GREAT BOOK and FUNNY). So Monday was Apple Day. The students were asked to bring her an apple. She received the first and said Thank You but then they just kept coming...before you know it she has about 20 apples on her desk...She thought it was funny! Solimar is allergic to apples so we made one from yarn. 

 This week I am also gifting her a note card set to go with the them of the day. So here is the one she received Monday.

RECIPE: ALL STAMPIN UP
Paper: Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Tangerine Tango DSP (retired), Whisper White

Ink: Real Red, Basic Black

Ribbon: Real Red

Stamp: Apple Blossoms (Hostess Level 2)

Hola Amigas...Today's challenge is brought to us by Delys. It seems so long since the DTs been together...But it's only been a week since we did Sage's scrapbook layout and then The Dynamic Diva Duo (CaroleAnne and Sandi) were at convention. Anywho look at the beautiful colors Delys chosen for us. Now what am I going to do with these colors... Do you see the ribbon? That is the work of Mr. Joaquin...
Okay I think I am going to start with a Whisper White base...I RARELY do that...but I think it will work.
and then i need to start layering...so because I don't have Baja Breeze cardstock, YET...I will go with Old Olive and I am going to emboss it using Vintage Wallpaper folder...Okay starting to look good...Now i have to bring Baja Breeze and Real Red...well the Real Red I am going to use ribbon...I am looking at all my new DSP to see if anyof them have Baja Breeze..I know that Sunny Garden, Pawsitively Prints and Lap of Luxury don't...I think I have Greenhouse Gala but I haven't used it yet...HMMM! Hey it does have Baja Breeze...Doing the happy dance...PROCEED! I am going to punch 1 1/4 squares from the DSP.
Looks Good...This paper has flowers that fit my punch PERFECTLY...
How much time do I have left? See I see Senor Asqueroso and instead of focusing on the 3 minutes I have left...I see the word Taylor and Taylor Lautner comes to mind along with Robert Pattinson...I am such a COUGAR!
Okay just need Real Red and a sentiment...I am going to use the Matchbox die for a label.
and Apple Blossoms Level 2 Hostess for the sentiment...
and DONE! I made it yes with NO MINUTES TO SPARE...
