CC Wkly Challenge #56: Teacher's Rock

Hello!  Teacher's do rock!  My daughter is in Kinder this year and I can't believe how much she has learned.  She's starting to read--so EXCITING!!!  Anyway, this challenge is all about making something for a teacher using primary colors and chalk.

This pic shows the blue chalk I used on the edges of this note pad.

 Front cover.  Her teacher's name just happened to start with 'A'.  Cool, huh?!

 Inside cover.  I used the seeing spots CB folder for some fun texture.

This pic isn't very good.  It's the back inside cover.  I covered the back in blue to match the front.

Recipe:
DCWV - Grade School Stack - patterned paper

Elegant Edges Cricut cart - Circles @ 4 1/2" - using the book feature (remember to use the flip feature to cut the back cover and for the papers to cover the back of your covers), Circles @ 3"  -using the frame and shadow features

Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cart - 'A' @ 2 1/4"  (I cut this out of chipboard, too)

CB folder - Seeing spots, swiss dot

Cinch 1" binding wire, used 4 1/4" x 4" white computer paper for the inside pages of the note pad

Chipboard - I used cereal boxes,  settings:  Deep blade @6, speed low, pressure max, muli-cut @3

Christmas red Stickles, Ek Success blue chalk for edges, Ribbons:  white organza and white satin are Ribbon Boutique, Grosgrain yellow and red ribbons are Celebrate It (M's)

Thanks for stopping by today!  Good luck to all in this challenge!
