Teacher Appreciation

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week at my kids' school. Since I actually do like their teachers this year, hee hee, We made cookies and a cute card:

I was disturbed to find that I own exactly 4 sheets of school-themed paper! Now I know what to shop for next... 

So I decided to raid the backpacks and use REAL school paper! Between the staples, paper clip, and file folder, this card probably cost a whopping ten cents to make. I did use some ink and embossing powder... maybe eleven cents ;) 

I am also entering this card into Heart 2 Heart's challenge this week: emboss! (visit their blog HERE to participate) 

I know it's not a ton of embossing; but as my son said, "Wow Mom! I like that shiny stuff!"

So do I!

Other People Have Really Cute Ideas!

This card was either copied from Vicki (visit her blog HERE) or Aaron (visit her blog HERE). Both of them are amazing, so you really can't lose by looking at both blogs! Here is my version:

I used different papers and embellishments... so it's not a TOTAL copy... right?

I love that really creative people are willing to share their art! 

So I can copy it.
