A big congrats to Jennifer! Her gallery is full of inspiration and I picked her Celebrate the 4th to case. I kept the layout and pinwheel (love making those!), but I used different images, slightly different colors and used another image in place of 2 of the buttons.
white embossed the polka dot background on the kraft card stock and stamped the teacher tools on another piece. I colored them w/ a combination of Prismacolor pencils and Copic markers before cutting them out. The pinwheel (tutorial HERE
) was made w/ a 2.25 square of the brilliant blue c/s and I added the piercing above and below just like Jennifer's card. I think piercing looks great and I don't know why I usually forget to do it. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.
Congrats again, Jennifer! Enjoy your week!
Thanks so much for looking! It's on my blog along w/ links to the tutorial: The Write Stuff

A beautiful card for a teacher and a terrific sentiment, Julie. Love the red/white/blue with the polka dotted Kraft....gives it a "homey" touch. Your pinwheel is wonderful and fun.....and your coloring of the image is superb.
