Cards For Teachers

This was to be one of my planned posts from my Florida vacation. It's not timely, but I wanted to do it anyway.

For Stasiu's teacher gifts at the end of the year, we put a card set together. I pulled a couple cards from my stock then made two others.

This one is obvious; we live in South Carolina and I had been wanting to do one with the symbol from the state flag.

Everyone needs a birthday card ready to give.

These are the ones my son made. He made each one for a specific teacher and wanted to be sure they got the intended ones.

I finished them with some additional paper and we chose the card base to match the bears.
I think he did a wonderful job!

Teacher Gifts

For the first time, I made teacher gifts. My oldest is 4 and we just love his school and his preschool teachers. He is in a wonderful program and is thriving and loves going to school. I pulled the idea from my my shop but used different papers and added the pens.

For the pens, I didn't want any white showing from the background paper so I basically designed it myself by sponging and stamping it. I think it looks much better darker and without any white showing through. Plus I wanted it to match the post-it-note holder. I've seen bic pens used for these but I use the RSVP pens. Its more work, but I think its a better pen. It writes better and being a pen and paper junkie myself, it's something I appreciate.

The sentiment at the bottom says "the little things", which I think is appropriate.



Their other gift was chocolate chocolate chip cookies that my son and his daddy made. I think they may have been a bigger hit. One of his teachers made a comment about getting them home and stashing them before her family saw them. They are the best cookies!
