Ribbon Carousel #82 challenge {post1}

Hello, friends:}

**After 9am--please click HERE or scroll up/down for my Mama Elephant highlight post.

Have you played along with this month's Ribbon Carousel challenge yet??? The RCC is now doing monthly challenges with a huge prize at the end for one lucky player!!! The prize::: a ribbon carousel!!!!!! This month's theme/challenge--- Fun in the Sun! 

So I am still going strong with my "self challenge" of using up papers, embellishments, and ribbons in my stash-- this card was created using ONLY paper and stickers by Echo Park (and a metal tag... and mini staples)! All from my stash! HOOOOORAY! The twine is from my Whisker Graphics divine twine collection-- that I refuse to use because it's so pretty stacked up together. LOL!  

I know how teachers don't really get to relax and enjoy their summers off because they are taking continuing education courses, finding new ideas for management/etc, creating decorations or buying decorations/supplies for the classroom, and finishing up grades or turning in forms/etc for the office **some might even be moving schools or changing grade levels and learning NEW stuff to teach. Teachers NEVER stop! And that's what inspired my card-- I pray that all my friends that teach would actually relax and enjoy this summer :)

This is also a larger card than I'm used to! It measures 6 inches high! 

That's it for me today--but make sure you stop by the RCC blog for more details for this challenge and DT inspiration!!! And click HERE to link up your creation!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be blessed:}
