I have quick post to show you a couple cards that I made for the Teacher of the classroom that I work in and the Classroom assistant. I started a new job right before Thanksgiving as a 1:1 Special Needs assistant. What is that you ask? I am with a child in a regular 1st grade classroom that needs help throughout the day with whatever the day entails. I am there every day all day long. When my son (who is almost 13) was in preschool, I was an assistant for another child and loved it. I could not ask for a better and more rewarding job. After the Sandy Hook school shooting, I can say that I looked at those sweet faces a little more today and realized what a gift they all are. The whole incident has me heartbroken. I just can NOT imagine what would go through someone's mind when they decide to do such a horrific act. I must move on....too sad to talk about.
I am totally HOOKED on this background stamping. I CASED (stole) the pretty design from my sweet blog friend Meredith, who is amazing at creating beautiful backgrounds. The gift I am giving the teacher is in a gift bag that looks exactly like the card in red and blue snowflakes.
This is one that I made for the classroom assistant. I used the same design but with different stamps and colors of ink as well as colored cardstock.
Supplies Used for:
Your cards are beautiful. Did you use a second piece of cardstock for the sentiment? Or is that just somehow distressed. It really pops. Love the stitching!
