Teacher Appreciation Cards

Tonight (Weds) was Back to School Night at my daughter's High School....

So, I wanted to do something different from anything else I've done for any other Back to School Night...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stamped cards for each of her teachers. I wanted to thank them for their work in the classroom and to let them know that I appreciate their hard work. I also wanted to give them something to remember me by, and to just be a presence.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, I stamped this card. I used the horse, and stamped it first in Close to Cocoa, and then tapped off the image so it looked like the horse was running...

Then tied with hemp cording and rubbed the edges with Close to Cocoa. I mounted it on Kiwi Kiss, over Not Quite Navy, and used the Maine Blueberry DSP with the edge scalloped.

3 brads at the bottom accented the base of the card...which was stamped using Versamark. I gave the Spanish teacher something different, which I will post later...(of course, using a spanish stamp set!)

I love her teachers this year! It is going to be a difficult year, but it will be fun! I think my daughter's ceramic teacher is the BEST!

Oh, and the dog we found???

Well, it turns out he might be the long lost puppy of this family in Huntington Beach! How did he get to Long BEACH? We'll probably never know!....but he's a long way from home BABY! I am meeting this family Thursday morning.....let's hope it is the right family!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

UPDATE!! - Dog was from this family! How he got to LONG Beach, which was about 25 miles away, we can only guess that someone found him and brought him to our area. I am so happy to say that he's finally at his real home, and we're happy that we could help!!! I told them to get the Dog Microchipped! This is a really good lesson for all, who have pets...with the fires that are here in Los Angeles, and Southern California, and in disaster prone areas (floods, hurricanes, etc) Get your pets Microchipped! (ok, off my high horse..and on to stamping!)
