Since I am a teacher, I thought about what would be meaningful to me. I started with looking at poems and verses about teachers. Once I looked on Pinterest, I found many poems and verses of inspiration. I really liked 

I printed this free verse and selected products from the Artfully Composed Suite. I thought the paper and dies were perfect to complement my inspirational quote. 

I layered up the Calypso Coral and the Diagonal Striped piece from the above DSP. Adhering the verse to the lower quadrant of the mat I die cut and fussy cut shapes from other coordinating sheets of DSP. I popped-up several of the dies and tucked other branches underneath all around the quotation. Here is the finished product before putting in a white 12"x 12" frame.

This sentiment is so true. As a teacher I want to help students "grow!" Just like plants need the right environment, so do students. I can help plant love, respect, and encouragement in addition to the course material.
