This week's Just Us Girls Inspiration Challenge is brought to us by Tangii and she has found this delightful school supply cake for us to work from (you can click on the image to enlarge it if you like).
Of course I immediately thought of Verve's Teacher's Count set! So 
many wonderful sentiments and perfect for this challenge. I went with the wood paneled background and the black was screaming blackboard so that is the route I went, turning the blackboard into a hanging sign on a wood wall. I added a ruler by cutting some paper from Echo Park's Paper and Glue pad and an apple in the corner for good measure.

The rest of the JUGS team has some wonderful samples to get your inspiration going, so head on over to the Just Us Girls blog,
and check out what the Design Team has created. Then put your creative
genes to work and add your card/project to the challenge post on the
JUGS blog for the chance to be chosen as the Chic of the Week.
Good to be back creating again, though my two weeks off has definitely slowed the creative genes down a bit. No time to fully enjoy creating for a bit yet as it is a busy time of year preparing for school and squeezing out the most we can from the simply amazing summer weather we have enjoyed for the past two months. Come September things should settle down to a more regular posting schedule. Until then, thanks for your patience!

Marisa, Love your take on this week's photo! Love the apple, and the added twine...it looks great with the panel background! Glad you have enjoyed your summer and have had great weather. Ours was gorgeous until about a month ago and now it's blazing hot! Just in time for recess duty at school...NOT!
Have a great day!

So cute, Marisa. I really like that paneled wall in the bg and the ruler paper was just perfect. The apple was a must. :-)
I love the wood paneling behind the chalkboard and I like that your chalkboard is clean and neat! A great card for a teacher to let her know how much she or he is appreciated!
