My oldest son starts kindergarten tomorrow! Sorta...
He will be attending a private kindergarten, but due to his age, he will have to repeat kindergarten next year for the public school system. We are a little disappointed but at least he will be advanced for his age. I've had to adjust my mind set. I'm considering this K-4 for him.
Either way, he is leaving his current classroom and teachers. These two teachers have been amazing and I can not thank them enough for all they have done for Timothy! He had some serious teacher trust issues and they have helped him get past it. I am so appreciative of them. At the end of summer party I gave them a card and gift card as a small token of our thankfulness.
My card was inspired by this card I found on Pinterest. When I saw it, I knew immediately what I had in my stash to recreate a similar card.
Here's my take:
A different view (the glittering gold makes it hard to photograph)
These cards use a variety of Stampin' Up!, Papertrey Ink, and other products. The ribbon looks more yellow in the pictures but it had a gold gleam to it. It started off as white Stampin' Up! seam binding and I sprayed it with Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine. Compared to the glittery gold, it doesn't quite compare. If I do the card again, I would leave out the bow. Instead I would do another Strawberry Slush strip along the bottom and some smaller embellishment in the corner - maybe some bling, enamel dots, sequin...
The teachers enjoyed the cards and in the end that's what really matters!
TFL and keep creating!
Supplies:
Pattern paper from the Papertrey Ink Beautful Brushstrokes Make It Market Kit
