Teacher Valentine collaboration post with Marcie Sharp!


Today I am honored to be doing a collaborative post with a dear blog friend, Marcie Sharp of Sharp Designs:  Cardmaking in the Country.  Marcie is having a weekly collaboration post each week for 2016.  For this week's theme she and I decided on "Teacher Valentines."  I couldn't wait to play with this globe die that I just purchased last Wednesday.
In my stash I found this wonderful map paper by BasicGrey.  A few months ago I sorted half of my 6x6 collections by color;  I even used sandwich bags to hold color scraps smaller than 6x6 and placed each baggie in with the 6x6 pieces of the same color.  The piece of salmon ledger was a little scrap;  I punched a heart from the top right corner (heart hole now covered by the purple Bazzill circle.)  I love using up scrap pieces!  The speckled aqua paper was also a scrap in the blue section; I chose it because I like the contrast with the salmon color.

Here is my complete teacher valentine:
I used the current card sketch at Fusion challenge blog for my inspiration:

Now hop on over to Marcie's blog to check out her teacher Valentine and let her know June sent you :)

Happy Wednesday!
