I started this project several weeks ago, intending to CASE an awesome gift set that Sharon/notimetostamp uploaded to the April Fan Club gallery. Her creations can be seen here... Birthday Gift Set by notimetostamp at Splitcoaststampers. (If you don't have a fan club membership, you won't be able to see it! And if you don't have one... why not?) I just loved everything about the cards, box and gift bag that she created!
So, since I don't have a whole lot of time after getting home from work to create a whole ensemble of something for this challenge, I decided to just finish this up instead. I had been thinking of giving it to my Mom for Mother's Day, but changed my mind. This is going to a teacher, sort of. My DD is going on a job shadow tomorrow for school with her best friends step-mom, so I'm going to give this to DD to give as a thank you for the career opportunity tomorrow.
*Edited one day later to add... my poor DD has been sick for 2 days now! I let her stay home from school on Monday, hoping she'd be feeling better for today's event but she coughed all night last night and I had to take her to the doctor today. Now as of this evening, the coughing has progressed to other unmentionables. Needless to say, she's really disappointed at not getting to do her job shadow today, but this will still be a nice gift set for someone!

This is an absolutely gorgeous set of cards! I love these! And I looked at the link to the cards you CASED and had missed those somehow! So now both sets are in my favorites! Great job!

You did a great job on this set -- just love it -- and I like the papers you chose -- nice earthy feel to them with the twine -- and I like your variety of stamped images -- thanks much for the mention and for the Fan Club plug -- LOL!!
