Teacher Thank You Card

Good Monday Morning everyone! Sorry for the delay in posts. Things are crazy around here, with the end of school stuff, sports and oh ya, my Dad took a fall off a ladder over the weekend! My family and ladders just don't mix!! He had surgery on his ankle yesterday and is feeling pretty good. He is still in the hospital. Not sure when they will spring him.
Kel is busy unpacking, therefore she has been MIA. Although not happily as she hasn't been able to craft. Hopefully soon she will be up and running again.

Here is a thank you card I did for my Son's teacher. I have to say I was re-introduced to this cartridge by our good friend Kate over at http://smallbitsofpaper.blogspot.com/. She won the Locker Talk Cartridge from us and then made us a thank you card with it. The card had the piece of notebook paper on it and I fell in love. I thought perfect for a Teacher's Thank you card. I used my markers first to draw the image and then cut it out. I love using the markers on the cricut and I always forget about them.

The notebook paper is found on Page 65 and the cute little paperclip is on 41. I cut the paper at 4" and the paperclip @ 1". I love the idea of the paperclip, because it isn't bulky and doesn't weigh the card down. The cuttlebug folder I used was Tim Holtz, alterations. The Thank You stamp is from StampingUP!

  1. Ohhh, this is fabulous and I LOVE the way your card turned out!! The embossing folder is perfect with this! I always forget that I've got Cricut markers too. (In fact, I think I've only used them once or twice. They might be dried up!)
    I'm so sorry to read that your dad took a nasty fall and do hope he recovers quickly. I almost feel as though I know him after last week's projects. Please send him my best!
