This is my last post as a guest designer for Art Glitter.... thank you Emily for asking me to participate...

Since school is coming to a close in a few short weeks.... I thought a cute card for your favorite teacher that you could tuck in a gift card would be just perfect....

I loved the Graphic 45 paper collection an abc primer.... when it was released last August I could hardly wait to get my hands on it...and paired with Art Glitter makes it even more fabulous in my book!

Adhere this piece to the top of your card using a xyron tape runner.
