| One Sheet Wonder - 5 cards |
Today I wrapped up my 19th year of teaching. It was a good year, but I've been truly exhausted these last couple of weeks. It's hard to know that summer will be rough for some of these kids and I'm torn with that knowledge and the reality that I need this time to rejuvenate and plan for next year's adventures.
On a lighter note...I saw this beautiful paper at Michael's the other day and I knew I wanted to use it for another One Sheet Wonder. It's called Teal Blooms and is a double-sided design paper from Recollections.
I love the watercolor type look of the flowers! I started by mapping out how I would use the paper. (Geek alert!)
After I mapped things out I cut out the pieces and began to assemble. I chose 3 sheets of cardstock to go with the paper: Martha Stewart Galax (8 1/2 x 11), Aquarium (8 1/2 x 11) and Moss (12 x 12). For card #1, I triple matted the floral sheet and then triple matted on one side of the blue side of the design paper. Next, I layered the matted blue piece on top of the matted floral. I used a 2" circle punch to make a quick sentiment with some Recollection "Thank You" Sticker Tags and popped it up with pop dots. I finished off with a paper flower and butterfly embellishment, also from Recollections.

For Card #2 I used the same basic layout as card #1, only I flipped the side of the sentiment.

Card #3 begins with the same layout as #2. I love these paper flowers with the beaded centers. SO pretty! I put three different ones on to finish card #3.

To shake things up, I changed the card direction for cards #4 and #5. Here's card #4:

And finally, card #5:

I saved some strips from the paper to use as inserts for the cards. Here are a couple of examples of how I used them:
So that's it! One sheet of design paper, 3 sheets of cardstock, 5 card bases and a few stickers and my One Sheet Wonder is complete!
