Thanks to you, Friend!

Published by Shel9999 at 8:10 am under My Designs, My Favorite Things

TYF2Here’s a bit of a twist on the Back to School set from My Favorite Things.  I thought this would work well as a thank you for a business associate/friend. 

The patterned  papers are from Basic Grey’s Perhaps paper pad.  For the suits, I paper pieced from the fabric-looking solid “prints.” The buckle is also from Basic Grey.  I used SU’s ticket corner punch on the corners.  The blocks just looked a little plain with square corners.  The sentiment is from My Favorite Things Sassy Sayings, and I did my little switch-a-roo arm trick. :)

This is such a fun set!  So many different looks!

 Thanks for stopping by! :)

Cardstock:  Bravo Burgundy, Very Vanilla     Patterned Paper:  Basic Grey Perhaps paper pad     Stamps:  My Favorite Things “Back to School” and “Sassy Sayings”     Ink:  Brilliance Graphite Black, Creamy Caramel    Accessories:  Burgundy grosgrain, Basic Grey buckle, Antique Brass Hodgepodge brads, ticket corner punch, dimensionals.   All supplies Stampin’ Up! unless otherwise noted.  Finished card size 5” x 5”.
