Theme Thursday - 4 x 4's - Teachers

Thanks for the challenge. I found the beautiful image on Flickr free to use and have been waiting for an opportunity to use it. She reminds me of old-fashioned stereotypes of prim school teachers so I have given her a new identity.
The background paper is by Vera Lim and the ephemera and slate are from Fabella Designs.

    She does look like an old fashioned school marm, Marie! And she's in the perfect setting. You have a way of always choosing the "right" image! Hugs, Terri xoxo
