Back to School Time!

It's almost back to school time!  I have to admit I am ready to send my sweet munchkins back to school.  I really enjoy them being at home except they are not content just being home, we stay on the go to somewhere... anywhere.  I took them to St. Louis for the weekend and spent way too much money entertaining them and buying back to school supplies and clothes.  I made a few cards to give to the littles for their new teachers, they will be in second grade this year. Shelby will be a college freshmen and Sadie will be in eighth grade, time is flying by too fast.   Thanks for stopping by!

World's Best Teacher

 

More teacher appreciation gifts today, this one for Sadie's Social Studies teacher.  I took the World's Best from one stamp and the teacher from another stamp to make the banner.

 

And I made two of these, for the librarians.  Shelby reads a lot so she sees the librarians often and said she wanted to give them something since they usually get left out when it comes to teacher appreciation.  I am so proud of my thoughtful girl, I have to admit I had never remembered to include them before.  This is another wood mount box with a journal inside.  thanks for stopping by!

Happy Retirement

My Shelby's favorite teacher is retiring this year so she wanted a card to give to  her.  I had made a similar card as a birthday so I just had to change it a little.

I had already made her this as a teacher appreciation gift.  I used the Wood Mount stamp boxes and just added some DSP and the rose to the front.  This DSP is from the upcoming catalog and is called Pop of Pink.

 

I found these journals at Walmart and they match the DSP perfectly so this is what we put inside along with some of her favorite mini candy bars.  I probably should have made a card to match the box but Shelby was ok with it.    Thanks for stopping by!

Perfect Chemistry

I have a couple more teacher appreciation gifts to share today.  Shelby wanted hers to be related to the subject each teacher teaches.  So I pulled out a stamp set called Perfect Chemistry that retired several years ago to make her chemistry teachers gift.   And what better way to package it than in a test tube. 

We are also adding a gift card with each one. 

 

I used another retired stamp for the World's Greatest and a sticker for the Band Director part.  It is hard to see but the black paper has embossed music notes on it.  Shelby loves band and the band teacher is her favorite.  They have won every competition they have entered in the past 4 years except one and they second in that one.  They have such a winning reputation that there is some band directors who  call the competition hosts to ask if they are competing and if they are they won't participate.   thanks for stopping by!

Teacher Appreciation

I have a start on teacher appreciation projects, I showed each of  the kids a sample of what I have done in the past for teachers and let them choose what they wanted me to make.  Dalton chose these Post it Note holders, they are really quick and easy so I have his done for both teachers and the teacher's aide.

I always use retired papers for these kind of projects.

 

Theses are really easy, just cut the paper to fit the acrylic photo frame and add a few embellishments.  Thanks for stopping by!

Donut I'd Do

School is almost out for the Summer, so it is time to concentrate on teacher appreciation cards and gifts.  I knew as soon as I saw this pattern in the Cherry on Top paper pad what I wanted to make with it.  I found the free printable here and it fits perfectly in the 2 1/2 inch punch.  Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween Teacher Treat

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good morning!  Aren't these little coffee cups fun!  These are for a customer who requested something Halloween and teacher combined.  I used mostly retired stuff but it is all from SU.   Thanks for stopping by

Just a little note...

Good morning!  Sadie's recital was beautiful last night as was she.  She will probably fall asleep in class today, she was so tired and then of course we got to bed late since she had a good visit with her grandparents.  Shelby graduates tonight so it will be another long day for all of us.  Shelby reminded me last night that I hadn't made cards for her band and choir teachers so I got busy this morning.  The music notes are made with a die(not from SU) and the colors are Elegant Eggplant and Whisper White.  I made five of these so Sadie can give one to her music teacher and piano instructor and Shelby can give one to her band teacher, choir teacher, and flute instructor.  I think I have got everyone covered!

Teacher Appreciation Day 5

Good morning!  Today I have a very quick CAS card for you.  There is very little stamping since the focal point is cut from DSP.  I am sure going to miss the Storytime DSP but am hoping for a new favorite from the new catalog.  Thanks for stopping by!

Teacher Appreciation Day 4

Good morning!  Today's project is a little green house planter, it has a soil disc and a packet of basil seeds.  I found these at the Target Dollar Spot and bought several to do with my kids but they can  also be great inexpensive ways to say thank you to a teacher.  I printed the tag out with MDS and layered it on a mat and added a few stars from a retired Simply Scrappin kit.  Thanks for stopping by!


ps.....I am not going to place an order on this Friday since the retired list just came out and a few folks have asked me to wait until Monday so they can order.  The only drawback is that some of these items are in short supply so they could be sold out.  Let me know if you want to order early and not be in the drawing for the hostess benefits.

Mr. Owl

Good morning!  I decided to pull out some more of the brads I have been collecting and put them to use and since I am doing teacher appreciation this week and already had the owl punch out I did another owl card.  I was inspired by this card.  The glasses and the mustache are both brads, perfect for a male teacher.  The DSP is from the Storytime collection and the paper clip is from the Cute Clips available in the Spring catalog.  Thanks for stopping by!
