Teacher End of Year Gifts

I'm back to creating.  It's been an insane two weeks, but school is out, work is over for me for the summer, and we have a few days respite before we head into the summer months of busyness with swimming and soccer and more!

We have three wonderful children.  They had three fantastic teachers this year.  So I made them each a set of 6 cards with envelopes for their year end gift.  They all expressed their thanks for them, with two teachers saying they had run out and would use them for special things only! LOL! :)  Always good for the heart :)

SUPPLIES:
ink: Regal Rose, Rose Red, Wild Wasabi (returning in colour, new to the core colours!  WHOOT!)
cardstock: Whisper White, Rose Red
stamps:  Awash with Flowers (2 step stampin'), Because I Care (hostess set, level 1 new catty)
accessories:  Purely Pomegranate satin ribbon (it is long retired, but it matched so well, and I am about using up my supplies now!), Dots embossing folder for the Big Shot - simple yet elegant :)

Have a happy day!

See ya!

Wedding cards

I am making these cards as a wedding gift for my BIL and his fiancée. The wedding is at the end of this month. I used a retired stamp set, but the flowers are the same as their wedding flowers, so thought it was fitting! These will be their thank you cards. I will stamp some kind of thank you inside it.



Supplies:
stamps: Loving Memories (retired)
cardstock: Elegant Eggplant, brushed silver
paper: vellum paper
ink: White Craft
accessories: lumiere (retired), chalks, detail silver embossing powder, silver eyelets (set with crop-a-dile)

A thank you card

I made this card for JA's teacher. Last week I went to school for the appreciation tea for volunteers. JA had popped her head in to find me, but I was busy. So I picked up Zachary from his class at 11:30, went back to the tea for a bit, and then we headed home. On our way out, we decided to stop by JA's class to say good bye. They were in the midst of show 'n share. JA's teacher, Mr. Reimer, asked Zachary to join the class. Being the somewhat shy boy he is sometimes, he just backed up. So JA came and got him, and he went and sat with her. Before he did that, he opened up his side pocket on his backpack and showed the teacher his Lightning McQueen cars (Ramone, Charlie Checkers, Mr. The King, and a red Ligthning McQueen). He thought Mr. Reimer wanted HIM to do show and tell! After the 2nd child finished, Mr. Reimer announced "and now we have a special show and share!" So he let Zachary sit in the special chair, JA sat beside him and she said "Good morning 2 3's!" They replied "Good Morning Zachary!" He started to talk, showing his cars, where he got them. Then he said "Thank you for listening" (as per the rules of show 'n share!) and they all replied "you're welcome, Zachary!" It was so cute, and he just beamed from ear to ear!! For two days he spoke about it often! LOL!

So... I thought it was appropriate to send in a nice thank you card for the teacher for taking extra time out of his day to do that for my son.
