Teacher gift/card

This year Alex's 6th grade teacher was Mr. Beebe. I wanted to make him something for an end-of-the-year gift but wasn't sure what to make. So I decided to make a card with giant paperclip bookmarks as the embellishments. I used some little wooden apples from Michael's. Here is the final product.

Mother's day cards

I created a few Mother's Day cards this year. This is one I made for my boss to give to his wife. I got the inspiration from a card Cheryl made in a class. I stamped the Happy Mother's day in pink, flowers are primas, velvet rickrack, and (you cant tell in the picture) glitter brads for the middle of the flowers.



This card I taught to some of the ladies at church. It was complicated to them but they turned out so nice. I LOVE transparency cards. I got this idea from Angela Sgro. She is one very talented lady! I also made her Hawaiian shirt card as a Father's day card. (I'll post a picture of it later). For this card the flower is on the outside held on with a flower brad and the dot paper is under the front cover being held on by green brads from the outside. I then put a piece of striped paper on the back.
