Little Miss Mia Thank You Cards for SRM

Hello!  I'm sharing a couple of cards on the SRM Sticker blog today and thought I'd share here too!  I created two cards using the adorable Little Miss Mia stamp set.  I personalized each one to look like my daughters.  I thought they would make cute teacher thank yous at the end of the year!

This first one features Mia with red hair, just like my little girl Natalie:

She was colored with Copic markers and then cut out.  The papers are from the Star Student collection by Bella Blvd.  The large Thanks sentiment from the We've Got Your Sticker- Thanks sheet is perfect on this one!  I love how it looks at the bottom of the panel.  I also added a bit of Midnight Blue Baker's Twine as a little accent.

The second card features Mia with brown hair and freckles, just like my daughter Zoey:

I stamped her onto a white cardstock panel and colored her with Copic markers.  I used foam adhesive tape to adhere it to the center of my card front.  The papers on this one are also from Bella Blvd's Star Student collection.  The sentiment is from the We've Got Your Sticker- Thanks sheet.

I have had so much fun playing with the Little Miss Mia stamp set!  I love how you can personalize it any way you want :)

Thanks for joining me today! 

A Teacher's Gift Idea

I'm blogging on the SRM Stickers blog today!  I thought I'd share a picture  of my project here, too:

It's a chalkboard-like wipe off board I made out of a frame. :)  I think Zoey's teacher will really like it!!

For more photos and information on how I did it, pop over to the SRM Sticker Blog!

Thanks!

Best Wishes for the School Year!

Hi!  We are busy enjoying our last weekend of summer- how about you?  My girls go back to school on Tuesday and they are so excited!  We've been picking up school supplies, getting haircuts, and purchasing fun outfits to get ready for back to school.  I've also been making cards!  These are for their new teachers:

These were super simple to create!  The cute patterned papers and owl stickers are by Doodlebug Designs!  I love these little guys!  I paired them with a sentiment stamp by Lawn Fawn and cardstock by Stampin' Up!

I'm looking forward to the school year!  The girls each got the teacher they were hoping for and were so excited to meet them last week!  It's going to be a good one- I can already tell!  It makes me a little teary-eyed to think about how big they are getting though- the time goes by so fast, doesn't it!

Anyways, hope you are enjoying your weekend!  Thanks for stopping by today!

Teacher Cards

Hi There!  Well it's Tuesday!  It's also the last day of school for us this year!  It's amazing how fast the school year went--  I can't believe that I'll have 1st and 3rd graders in a few months!  Today I wanted to share a couple of the cards I created for my girls' teachers this year.  I am so thankful for the staff at their school!  We have had a great year and I've seen my girls grow so much!  I know a lot of it has to do with school and especially their teachers!

For these cards, I used Lawn Fawn's A Good Apple set.  I love how the mini chalkboards turned out!

This one is for Zoey's teacher.  He is so great!  For this, I used Simple Stories 24/7 line.  I kept it simple to let the sentiment shine!

Here is Natalie's teacher's card:

I used Pebbles Inc. Lakeside collection.  Again, I kept it simple!

I had lots of fun stamping these little chalkboards!  Of course, both girls said "Mom, you know we have white boards at school, don't you?"  lol!  Times have changed!  Maybe I'll try a white board next time! Wouldn't that be cute with neon embossing powder?

Well, hope you are enjoying your day!  I'm going to get these kids to school and then run my errons!  Happy last day of school! :)

Wonderful Teacher Card

Good Morning!

I was able to make a card last night based on the first sketch of Kelly Purkey's Sketch Book class going on now over at Studio Calico. I am in teacher card mode with Teachers Appreciation Day coming up and this one will be for someone very special! Here it is:

Goodies:

Stamps: Friendly Phrases- Stampin' Up!; Four Apples- Hero Arts
Ink: Real Red, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Basic Black by Stmapin' Up!
Paper: Naturals Ivory cardstock- Stampin' Up!; Sidewalks Collection 8x8 pad by October Afternoon
Accessories: Mini Clothespins, Basic Rhinestones, Cherry Cobbler baker's twine, Decorative Label Punch, Itty Bitty Punch Pack- Stampin' Up!; Mini Kraft Bags- Canvas Corp.

I love these little mini kraft bags- aren't they cute with a gift card in them? I have 8 cards to make for the girls' teachers this year so I am trying to find some fun ways to include gift cards. I also downloaded a cute peechee type folder card from the Silhouette store to use for some of them so hopefully that will work out the way I want it to!

We are on spring break this week and we've done some fun things each day this week. Today is lunch at Chuck E. Cheese's and bike riding in the afternoon... I know I'll be worn out by bedtime!

Hope you are enjoying your day and thanks for stopping by to see my card!
