September

Today at Catch the Bug is New Release day and on my card I have September Word.  I used it as the main image and my teammies used it with other images.  I have a hard time with CAS cards since white space freaks me out so I did this with black, hehe. I just added washi tape in the corners.

Enjoy the remaining days of summer!

Welcome back Teacher

I have been making cards for my daughter to give to her students/parents and now this one is for her. I am so proud of her being a teacher and she is so good with her students. She has already told me when her field trip is when they come to Capital so I will meet them there and help her so I took the day off for that as well as her birthday.
For my card, I used a stamp from My Favorite Things Class Act (which is retired) and sentiments from Darcie's All Write. The background I sprayed with Angel Mist Spray which doesn't show that wonderful shine and sparkle in the photograph.

The new back pack I bought my sweetheart for school...just like when she was a kid, lol.

Well, I have one more Back to School card that I made using an embossing folder from Darice and this wonderful Bookworm paper.  I actually didn't use a sentiment.

Study

My daughter is teaching 4th grade and she is working very hard on her lesson plans.  Needless to say, I know she is expecting a lot from her students too.  I think she will be a homework queen or maybe a tyrant.  I made this card for her using an image from QKR and the study ticket from TLC.

Back to school cow

By now all kids are back in school and need some encouragement so here is a card that I made using an adorable set from Imagine That Digistamp called School Time Ted & Trudy.  I used the pre-colored Ted and I put glossy accents on his glasses.  I added two different school ribbons that I had.  I also had an apple brad that I had to include as well.  I also have my daughter who is teaching who also needs encouragement even after just two days!!!

Back to school 3rd grade

My daughter will be graduating from college in just a few weeks, but she has a JOB!!!  She will have a degree in Early Education and will have a job as 3rd grade teacher in a rural school here in WI.  She won't be as close to me as I want, but she is excited to have her own classroom and glad she won't have to do sub work.  I'm so proud of her.  So here is a card that I made for her using a sentiment from TLC.
Now, I feel old when my daughter has a job in her "career" and is no longer "playing school".  It is different when I have to buy her items for her OWN classroom instead of going to school/college.
