TEACHER THANK YOU CARDS

Emma wanted to make "Mr Joe" a Thank You for making her memory book of her Pre-K year. Included was some of her class work, some of her art work, some journal pages that she dictated and he wrote, and lots of pictures from the year. It is a very nice book.

Since her class was called "the butterflies" I showed her what butterfly stamps I had. She picked out a Hero Arts set of four butterflies. Matti also wanted to do a card for one of her teachers, so we had two going at the same time. They picked Martha Stewart pastel chalk inks and did each butterfly a different color. Since they love to punch, they did the front right edge with the Martha Stewart monarch butterfly border. Emma chose blue to put behind it and Matti pink. We then added iridescent Stickles to some of the butterflies on the front. They had a hard time squeezing the bottle to make it smooth. Inside it says "Special Thanks" and inside we added a punched little butterfly with one wing up. Matti wanted purple and Emma stayed with the blue. It is a simple card.

Then we got the idea of making a bookmark. I have the cutest Inkadinkado stamp that is a direct quote by a child named Harris Weinstein, age 7. He says, "if i had TEN thumbs, I'd put them all up for you". So we took a bookmark sized piece of white card stock, they rounded the corners, punched a hole for the ribbon, stamped the quote and there was room where they also stamped a butterfly in pink. Emma had a med blue ribbon and Matti had a lavender. I thought they were sooo cute and hope the teachers like these bookmarks as keepsakes. Both girls signed their cards and the bookmark. Gotta have their work documented. It was a fun morning project.
Thanks for dropping in.
